lighting, is this good?

i have 2 plants about 5 "tall.im useing one 15 w led ,two t8 3100k plant/aquareum lights, four 1750 luman cfl.. do i have enough?

You are asking, so I think you already know the answer.... Here it is for you: NO !!!..................




You can not have too many CFL’s/Fluorescents …


If I said: “Every 20 watt 6500 K CFL you add will give you another bud [hence another bowl load]”…. How many would you add?

maybe for veg....you will need more lights for flower

Why is everyone scared to use HPS lighting? Yeah I understand the budget is a factor but as with most things...what you put in is what you get out. Even home depot sells HPS lighting and are very affordable now. CFLs and flouros are good for veg but if you want good yield you gotta go with HPS. They have 150s, 250s all the way up to 1000 watts. Do it once...do it right and you won't regret it!

i really want to go to hps im just reading up first. i was gonna add this to what i allready have? is this any good? is it worth my time Hydrofarm SBM150S 150-Watt Mini Sunburst with HPS Lamp

Depends, are you running air conditioner already? If not then yeah the 150w isn't bad option and is ok price, but if you are already running a/c in that room or plan to eventually, 400ws are only 120ish$ for cheaper 3 year warrantied setups and you will get that much more bud potential. I've seen some 150w grows though here this thread linked is 150w hps club, I had decided to purchase based on the growers there, but eventually went with 400w and use the 150w as supplemental.

Can also just get dimmable 400w, and power it down to 50, or 75%.

edit:

i see your using t8 already ect, the hps should be good addition and not increase ambient temps too much compared to higher wattages, gl.

Good price for what it is.... Good Luck man... add this to your other lights and now, you have something...

Do I need a hood and every thing or can I just buy a HPS and put it in my grow room?

A hood will increase your light's useable grow area. You may not need a cooled hood if your grow space is large enough & cool enough. If you're growing in a 2x2 tent in your attic then you might. I grow in my basement with just a gull wing. Even so, you'll want to pick up a couple of fans to move the air around. Air movement will keep your plants happy and will also strengthen their stems.

im growing in a 2'w x 2'L 1/2 x 8'H. my temp is around 75f. lights on 24/0... once i add a hps will my temp go up

yes your temp will go up. also you will probably have to run a ballast for your hps
