check out ebay, you could get all you need for an hps for under 100 bucks if you look hard. like i said earlier, those petco lights are mostly for heat, they will put off usable UV but not over a wide area, youd be spending more if you bought as much of those as a hps would put off, plus youll need multiple and itll produce entirely too much heat if you want to be able to put them close enough so not so many lumens are lost, id just say get a 150w for cheap online. grow shops will charge more for an hps, id go to an industrial lighting store. those CFLs should be fine for veg, if you want get a hortilux compact cfl its about 60 dollars in all, i believe they're about 120w, they put off good spectrum. if not, a few 42w cfls should do the job, y splitters would help to get more light to one area.Originally Posted by Daf700

I got the clamp lights and 2 42 watt cfls it looks real good! That is about 4000 lumens on one plant went to the local grow shop that is what they recommended.the two fixtures the two bulbs and a bag of new soil 40 bucks,cant beat that! I will take pics in the future and document its growth.thanks for all the help,and keep tokin,peace.
sounds like you got a pretty good deal, hope the setups workin out pretty good have you tried training them yet?

Training? Hmm dont really know what that means (first grow)
Lol my first grow also and have had lighting issues fixed that problem but now my plants are really growing and i believe i am going to run out of room in my tent i wished i would have done some research on training my plants now.
sweet.... FL growers unite
training means altering the way they grow by tying them down, heres a few examples from a few of my grows. just pinch the stem lightly until the stem is flimsy and forgiving, then once you got em where you want em, tie them down with a twist tie(i use fishing line lol im just ghetto like that).
the main idea of it is to divide out energy evenly, whatever part of the plant is closest to its light source will get the most energy, so by doing this you keep them all level, scrog(screen of green) do this in a different way but its all for the same reason, equal division of energy.
