does this help?

yes it does, but it seems like i will end up with a shit load of lights if i use the 2 cfls for each plant. so assuming i will pay more for the hps or mh, what would be sufficient for flowering 20 plants in the above space i mentioned?

you need a 1000 watt hps light for that space and number of plants

for 20 plants id suggest 2 1000w mh if u have the room, for best yeild

just make sure u have proper ventilation usin hps or mh cause of the intese heat they give off

mh cost way to much they are a thing of the past this is the light you can buy both light spectrums for 118 you cant go wrong

yep.. for 20 plants you want 1000 HPS setup or something more extreme. I have 2 plants and use a $70 150W HPS system that puts out 16,000 Lumens .. Ill need to upgrade this to 400W HPS that puts out 60,000 Lumens so that my plants can have full chance of growing.
