If heard switching lights duiring the flowering stage can greatly improve yield. Can anyone reccomend a light? Will be using 4 of them with basic reflectors. Also Is it benificial to place one of the light on the side to reach some underleaves? Sorry about multiple questions

Using 3 150 watt energy saver bulbs at the moment.(due to low budget) Very impressed with just 4 weeks of veg but since switching to 12-12 i feel like it could be neccessary for an upgrade. looking for any lights adaptable with basic plug and socket...

well next time be a lil more descriptive. r u talking about HID lighting, CFL's or wat??

yes it will yield more if u go to an HID set-up, FER SURE.

YES side lighting WILL help fatten the bottom and side buds up.

BUT switching to wat lights tho???? HPS, MH, CMH, CFL, FLORO?????

that piks old, but a 150 wattHPS will do u well.
or even a 250 watt.
i use a 400 watt (with no cooling hood) and its a 120 volt socket??

Using the spiral lights. I believe they are cfl? i could be wrong. have the 150 watt hps as well but still saving up for the whole setup for next harvest.
