You don't have to lol there is led lights but I don't know anything best thing to do is put your full setup and your budget what you have. I use mh for veg and start of flip after week 3 I switch to my hps I also use one ballast that ranges from250 -600 . I want to change to led thats why I'm on here nowadays.
Makes sense I won’t make a change in a hurry then how long will my plants be okay for under these cfls will these last until my switch as that is when I’d want to invest in a full spectrum maybe led like you say

Hps will work and are inexpensive. Using through the whole cycle can work but for veg is not ideal but again can work. Personally I prefer leds but they definitely cost more initially.
Sounds great so let’s say I get my other 3 under the 125 and have 3 under the cfl and I was to veg for like 5 weeks then switch to either an led or hps for flower would this work also with a ballast will the hps fit in my lumii light fixtures which currently run my cfl sorry for all the questions hope you don’t mind I just wanna make sure what I’m doing is working

Yes vegging with those lights then switching will work just fine. And no a hps bulb will not work in the cfl fixture it will need its own ballast, socket assembly, lamp chord, and reflector.

Sounds good so I can comfortably fit 6 under my 2 cfls ( if get too shaded will add another cfl to see me to end of veg) then switch to hps how long would you say to veg them for before switching
