next grow i was gonna grow 4 instead of 1 which i am doin now.. i say a 150 hps for 50 bucks..can i use this from the begging 24/0 for two weeks then go into veggin for 3 or 4 weeks at 18/6 then go into flowering 12/12 for 8 weeks. is the 150watt hps enough light for 4 plants or is it too much light? please let me know thanks

the hps is great for flowering....... but I would start your veg with daylight cfl's at 18/6, then flower with the hps... you should have some nice results that way.

would 12 26watt daylight cfl 6500k for 4 plants be enough for veggin? or should i grab a couple more.. or could i get like 5 cool blue specturm 100 watt cfls

Yes... and Yes =]

Actually you can start with just one 26w cfl per plant at the biggening, and add cfl's as they grow. Keep the cfl's close to the plants at all times.. about 2' away.

Or..

You can start all 4 plants, under one 100w cfl... and add another 100wcfl as they grow and so on.
