New - n need advice plz

Sup guys im new to the game n all... but i was woundering whats the min amount of lightin i would need to grow no more then 4 plants ... but only want one near the end.... can u help me plz be great full .....

you need 3000 lumus min. to grow a healthy plant. cfl is a good way to go. or fl tubes 40w. tubes need to be very close to the tops of the plantsc cfl's need to be a bit farther away due to heat.

Just asking about the min lighting irks me. Light is key!

To Veg, you have more options. For good flowering/bud dev, you need the good stuff to get the good stuff. Old computer adage: garbage in = garbage out.

Now with that said, you can do a CFL grow with good results. (Searching this site will prove that) Though most will say HPS for flowering is whats needed.

Now for a budget set up, you can do a cheap CFL veg, let that 'cook' for a while. (while you get the funds for a small HPS lamp) By then, you will know if you have males adn or females and can weed out th males and toss the fems right into the flowerin cycle under the HPS.

(just my 2 pence)

sry like i said i am new n i have very little understanding n this fieldl but i wass woundering if like a 200 watt hps would be good for like 3-5 plants ........another off topic ? would be what is the fastest plant to grown from seed to harvest

what is the min watts for hps to flower. running 400w mh for veging

the 400w is good for a 5x5 space, i use 4x4 and can see less light or growth on the out side row of the plants.
