And now I'm buying a 400w hps/mh dual ballast. Adjusting these damn things daily, the slow growth, argh. They got me to where I am in veg, slowly but surely, and I'm grateful for that, but shit...

No way in hell I want to try and flower with these damn things and 3' plants all over my grow space. Constantly buying more splitters and sockets and cords, omg where does it end? How about I hook just one light up and be done, all I do is adjust height.

Yeah I set out to be a hardcore CFL'er, but now I've seen the light. Love ya CFL peeps but peace out.

lol agreed. i see 400 watt metal halide lights with ballasts and reflectors on craigslist for 40 bucks....

yea once i get some dough im going into a 400 watt hps.. its the way to go if you want a good yeild

Well worth the money...... billions of wires suck ass.

yea they do suck ass
my power bar is full and so is my outlet lol

could have used enviros to keep it low heat and small

I tried the cfl thing.works great for veg an clones. when I was ready to flower I added up the wattage looked at the lumen and bought a 150 hps to flower. less wattage than I needed in cfl's and buds are tighter. I should've bought a 400 my girls out grew the 150 and I just bought it in december. so my wife is going to be a little pissed when the 400 gets here but when she see the quality diff. in the buds. I'm sure she'll change her mind or the buds will do that for her.

yeah guess i would have done the same if i had room, check out my albums though i think you will be surprised at what you can doi with an enviro,
