First off I have only read and watched countless vids and I have no experience growing. I can tell you a little bit about what the lights do and that may assist u in your decision. The hps hits better parts of the light spextrum and produces more chlorophyll with the plant (by far). Although there many successfull setups that use cfl. Watt to watt the HPS puts out far more Lumens. As far as 1 or 2 plants, that depends on the strain, but I would try to just do one real nice one instead of two midees
for lighting. you can also use cfl's figure about 50-75w per plant.
you olny use molasses during the 'flowering' stage to help produce fatter, sweeter tasting, and smelling buds (in theory, I've seen both sides of the arguement here). I am into my 13th day of flowering and am using a yeast/sugar setup and molasses. I use molasses every third watering, stopping the last two weeks of flowering so I can flush
p.s. I am also using tubed flouros! six cool whites no less! (it's all I have, being unemployed and broke!
