Operation: Smoke in the Closet

Any hydro store should have them...if not really any online store that sells lights for growing or mainly they like to use them for aquarium lighting...but the set up im talking about is like 22" by 24" and puts out i've read about 16,000 to 20,000 lumens sometimes more depending on the combination of light color you might be working with...the only real problem is they cost just a little bit i think that one is like 250 (which isnt to different if you wanted to go with HPS of MH with ventilation set up) but as of recently i've just read about the purple spectrum...they have new flourecense out that put out a purple spectrum (like what the new 500-900 dollar leds are doing. With almost no heat put off.) and that spectrum is more usuable by the plant...as soon as i get these first couple of plants off thats what im investing in.

ok I dont think I have any of those stores around where I live lol. I live in missouri and not much around here. live about an Hour away from St Louis. I need like a wal mart or lowes setup haha.

Can anybody help me? I got a limited amount on budget right now to.

I guess cfls are going to be the way to go then...If you could have some exhaust system i would suggest a site called e-conolights and they sell 150 watt hps set ups(that you would have to do a little work on like removing the outer casing so you can put the ballast somewhere where the light is not) but originally they were selling these set ups for like 20 bucks but i think they went up a bit...but it seems like you are trying to keep it simple so i would. Just remeber the bare minimum is 3000 lumens a...what i do is get four light sockets and get Y attachments so i can get two bulbs to a socket and i get the highest rated daylight cfl they have which are usually those 100 watt conversions(27watt) wich put out about 1600 a piece depending on how big the plants r ill elect to put to more cfls on the side walls just to make sure im getting at least but not probably 16,000 lumens....Im just telling you right now you can grow it and some may say you might not be able to flower but you can they are just going to be significantly smaller than expected...it seems like a long time to wait to get not a whole lot which is why you can veg with the cfls but do try and get a 150 hps atleast for flowering...you'll thank yourself in the end
