5 small plants.

For 5 big plants you need like a 1000w HPS, you'll be way better off than CFLs though. Don't get hung up on the bulb color temperature

What you read on the internet, well isn't always people telling you the truth. If a well know member who is actively
growing on this site suggests that CFL's won't work, than they won't.
High Pressure Sodium Light's now I know they work, but cost more to both purchase and run ugh.
Anyway brother good luck you are on the trac, no question is what ever they say lol.:peace:

With the HPS, really all you should be concerned with is the ballast, wattage (your choice), and digital. The rest
reflector, and socket can be made adhock, I have seen some mega grow rooms, only photo's that had just the
bulb hanging in the socket, so that can keep your cost down. The damn bulbs! They are the not thought of killer
I think, but everyone has there opinion on this issue that Hortulux has the best.
You will have to shop the Grow shops, Amazon, Ebay for the best current pricing on the ballast.
In any case with indoor growing "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" really applies.
Also RM3 is a great member to ask questions, me not so much, and again good luck, you will do great.:bigjoint:
