I am about to start 2 autoflowers. It will be a small closet grow. I am not sure if I should grow in soil or a hempy bucket grow yet. I was thinking of using CFLs for the grow. I also seen a 150w hps light. Would a 150w hps and some CFLs for side lighting be enough light coverage for 2 autoflowers?
 
Instead of using the CFL get a 250W MH/HPS and use that. It will give you a better yield generally.
 
I'm not sure if my eyes were playing tricks on me but was that lumigrow650 nearly $1600?'dont think alot of ppl have that kinda coin..
The 150w hps with cfls should be sufficient for 2 autos pending your closets size. If you can grab a 250 you would be alot happier with results. GL
 
How much for the Lumigrow650? $1600 does that come with a small Columbian child to harvest the crop or what???

:bigjoint:
 
150w should be fine for your setup... I would go with a coco or perlite/vermiculite hempy bucket. Faster growth and less chance of bugs/pests.

wow that unit looks really expensive, is 650 the wattage? and whats the spectrum it justs says red/blue from what I can see and red/blue only lights are really not that great, you want something with a 6 band spectrum or more, or at least one that has full spectrum leds mixed in.
Im sorry but I think u overpaid

and to the OP 150 is about the bare minimum id want for 2 plants
