cfl lights for veg???

Just me, and I use and like CFLs. If I had a 400w HPS, this is what I would use for both. Maybe add a couple of daylight CFLs to add some blues if you wanted, but dewd... you have a 400 watts HPS and apparently a place where you can use it!

so your saying that the hps will work for veg just add a few daylight CFLs to add some blue?

IMHO, yes... The HPS will produce a huge amount of light compared to the CFLs. The CFLs (6500k) should add the required (??) blues. To be honest, I do a resonable job at growing with CFLs. However, before spending the money wait for baby_gro or one of the other more senior members to reply.

Well this isn't my first grow. I got six plants going right now. One is on the 12th day of flowering, the other 5 are in the veg. Thanks for all the help...

Abalaze, if you ahve a veg space and a flowering space, by all means use CFL for veg. You can tell from my avatar it works well.

Yeah I read your grow journal. You did a good job on the grow. Yeah I have both.

Anybody knows anything about lights? Need help here.

Mate i would say get the lights,, cool light CFL's 45W... like 5 of them... at walmart, there are double socket attachments, so get 6 of em mate. depending on how many plants.
