should i get a 150w hps flood light from home depot or like 4 cfls? this will be for 2 plants... thanks

For two plants 400 watt hps minimum. Reflective coatings on sides, side lighting cfl's, ph kit, how are you going to control the temp. that hps is going to put off some heat?

what if i wanna grow in my basement which is fairly cold, prob around 68ish F give or take. will i still have heat problems?

I'm growing in a basement in Northeast USA and I have found I need to keep a heater set to 74 degrees to keep the temps up. I have small room closed off with 4 CFLS running. Once I go to HPS the temps will rise. At night I hear the heater kick on A LOT so you might have problems with cold temps.

aight yea cuz i am too. that helps alot thanks
