so i have a question about choosing some veg/flowring lights... I want some lights that will be good for both flowering and veg. I was thinking about getting some florecent tubes for vegging then maybe overdrive my flourecent tubes for budding, but I wanna know how often do you have to change bulbs if you overdrive them about 3 times or maybe once... I was thinking about getting a 4 slot HO lamp for itbut it might be too coslty cause i live in an apt... so if they look at out energy consumption its gonna be questionable, but what if i use LED, i knw its a new not really played around with growing method but it seems cheeper and might be interesting to use. and then theres the bulbs with sodium, or whatever kinds they have. the only thing I'm worried about is how much energy they would eat up if i were to use one... on all the time or even just at night time to bacicly force feed my plants. just till I decide to flower.

go with the sodium they are best and not as expensive to run as people think thats if you want decent weed, too much messing with flouesant lighting moving all time dont care wat other people say go with sodium and you wont be dissapointed nothing less than 400w the grolux bulbs are good they have extra blue light better 4 vegin than standard sodium bulb and good for flowering

hid lights are the best

this foul in this book is known world wide for growing dank. it says a combanation of hid and hps lights together for frowering will give you the dankest shit

also said 1000 watt lights are best. and more light per square feet eaquels better results and yield

Hps is good for the whole growth, but you can also do mh for the veg cycle since it has more blue. They have combo hps/mh bulbs. That should do you well.
