Lighting Question quick feedback +rep

Hey there,

was wondering: what is the best single bulb system i could get for growing just one plant (Nirvana PPP) in a dwc system?

thanks!

depends how much your trien to spend and how big your grow space is

What size room?

If you mean "what is the best type of bulb to grow a plant from start to finish using 1?" then I would say CMH.
Otherwise, be more specific please.

what is cmh? ; google didnt work. ---- i've got some cfls, could i use those for veg and then do hps....

the point is, I cant afford to buy a MH and a HPS

im not trying to spend a whole lot and my grow space is a small closet.

I use cfls but I use soils.

yea you can use cfl's and switch to a hps for budding you can use cfls the hole time you"ll get less yield but can still use them

a 250 to 400 watt system works well in most closet situations of a rough space of 2'x4',as long as you can ventilate the light,which is another consideration,as my fan cost me 180 beans...

do you have any knowledge as to what the yield difference would be?

and

if i were to go the solely cfl route, do you think that something as simple as this:

might work?

you could also use a HPS/MH switchable system,since you only have the one plant,and just switch between the bulbs,increasing the size and the yield,by going MH to veg and HPS to flower.

thst cfl is a nice one and if your closets like 2ft by 3ft or sumthin close it'll be good for the whole thing from seed to budding i dont know the difference it would be but there is a difference but i wouldnt worry about it

bitrate,how much you lookin to get?Obviously as much as possible,please be specific as possible

cool yall i think ima gwan a go wit the cfl system because it will prove to be significantly cheapa - thanks!


jah guide

yea cfl's are great. i got a current cfl grow my self and is doing me good.

but if you was to go with a single bulb setup it would have to be a 400w hps because the hps is great for flowering, as to the mh is good for veg but not as good for flowering like hps

hps can also do a great job for veg as well so you really cant go wrong with the hps ya know?

hope i helped.

that rep would be appreciated lol.
