Was gona throw aquarium/plant fluro bulbs into my 4shoplights mixed with like 4-5 CFL's(40 or 65 watters) to flower a 4foot by 4foot are or so

would this even be worth it or should I just save for a hps?

I heard aqurium lights are shit even tho id have 12 of them. I heard they have no color temp or something (wtb clairfication)

basicly id have to save like 2months to get enough for a 400w and my shits rdy to flower now :s so I could have bud in 2months from now or just be starting

thx in advance
 
Hps Hps Hps Hps Hps Hps Hps Hps Hps Hps Hps Hps Hps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But for now a bunch of the 42W 2700K warm white cfl's will do just fine.

You could always top you plant to save space, and then keep it to grow more cola's...and then when the time comes for you to buy your HPS...your plant should fairly wide and bushy and not too tall...and you will get a much better yield.
 
try to get some funds from family or friends, HPS is the only way forward, plus your extra yeld will pay off the loan .... HPS everytime
 
a bunch as in like 15-20 or I guess many as I can afford is way to go'

well orginally I was growing this crop for me and my best freind so we can get good bud w/o having to buy the shit (good bud rare here and price is retarded) and I payed upfront for everything even tho it came way over what it was sapost to and he was sapost to buy the light come bud time now hes being a peice of shit and lieing about when he gets his paychecks and bs (like I give a fuck if u dont wana buy it just say) and still says hes gona buy it even tho its been like 2months since I told him its time to order it. so at this point im like fuck it gona buy it myself and fuck him hes not getting any of it.
 
If you just have 1 plant...i would say about 10 of them should be fine. You might not need to use them all at first...but you will later for sure when your plant becomes a giant man eating bud plant...lol.
 
ive got like 25 plants lol

edit u think I coudl throw like 20 CFL's mixed in with shop lights (mix blue and red light I duno maybe half aquarium bulbs half daylight or all red) top all my plants and flower them like that till I get hps

allthough guess ure limited by flowering to 8-12weeks or when the plants are rdy not when u r
 
You arent going to flower 25 plants with anything butt a 1000w hps. And you'd probally need 2. How tall are they? If you did sea of green, you might get away with one 1000w
 
I have a question about the MH conversion bulbs. Do they work on any hps growlight? Or do I have to get the expensive mh and hps conversion systems?
