150W econoligh cooltube.

the glass tube is a pyrex bake a round bought off ebay. total cost for light about $55

damn man not a bad 150 HPS right there!

i would def. recommend that light if you are just gonig to finish this plant off, and keep it small for your next grow!

i picked up a Sunsystem 400 watt HPS/MHL light for alittle over 300.
comes with the ballast already built in and clamps to hang from about anything, and she plugs into the wall!

when i start my plant, i start them under 2, 40" inche T-8's. one bulb is a plant spectrum and the other in a sunlight spectrum, picked it up at a garage sale and it works wonders!! i can basically have the lights a centimeter away from the plants. so this whole month i grow them under the T-8' they grow strong and short, no lenky stems and the T-8's help produce more root growth and usually never see root rot! than after a month, its to the sunsystem!

the one thing i love about sunsystem 400 watt HPS/MHL system is that after growing my plants under the T-8's for a month i switch it to the 400 watt MHL. The MHL has the best light spectrum for Vegitation growth! i usually grow with the MHL until all the palnts in my garen have shown me thier sexes!

than after picking which one will stay, i change out the MHL light and re-place it with the HPS, as we all know the more red/orange spectrum the light creates, kinda signituring the summers hours changing from 18/6 to 12/12, and of course fall approaches!

i wouldnt have choose another light from anyway else! this light performs better than i could have ever imagined!

but everyone is different.

i have yet to really have heat problems too!
i dont need to set up an air cooled system, but you easily could!


but like i will always....... i dont want you to change your ways from what i tell you, i just hope my little light speal helps you out!

get back to me!:weed:

you need more sufficient light...
that would be my guess to as why you have tall plant not much leaf growth...
put ALL the lights 1-3 inches from plant...
idk if you have some red spectrum CFLS... but you might want to think about investing in some..
Keep it green man/enjoy!
