Has anybody ever used fluorescent bulbs all the way through vegetation and flowering? If so, what were the results? Were you satisfied? Would you do again or try MH or HPS???

I tried it on 1 grow and wouldn't do it again. I may have used too few, the wrong kind, etc.... but the l'il darlins didn't produce nearly as well for me as they did under mh & hps.

Did you use mh during veg. and then hps during flowering?

flur is fine for veg and it help saves money too, use the HPS for flowering.

you wont produce crap under regular flourescents in the flowering stage unless u use compact fluor grow lights

hmmm. how many plants are you growing? is there any kind of regulation for the wattage to plant ratio for hps lamps? i mean would a 100w hps suffice for 3 plants? on the other hand, would using a 400 or even 600 watt hps hurt 3 plants, or make it yield even more?

I would not use floros to flower. You will be much happier with the results from hps. At least 400 watts 600 would be much better.

From what I've read the 400 is the most efficient hps light, and no it wont hurt yr 3 plants, they'll love it. yes, you'll yeild more with this light vs the 100 watt. Besides the cost diff has to be very little, you can pick up a 400 watt hps for about $100.00

$100?!?!? you can get a 400hps light for $25 here: HPS Lamps

That is great if you want just the bulb, but you need ballast , socket, and reflector to.

Check Ebay for some good deals on lights
