HPS over CFL all the way.  Use the smaller fluoros to light the undergrowth though, so you can maximize the popcorns and yields.

IMO CFL's should ONLY be used as supplemental blooming, and for vegetative growth which they work GREAT for!  I'd never veg under my HPS, that would just be a waste.

You are going to have to set up some sort of self watering system or those plants will die after about 3 weeks with no added water!  Make some sort of home made drip system out of large soda bottles or something.  It has to happen or you will lose em.  How do you intend to raise the lights?  Just leave them high so they don't grow into it?  You will need to have it about 16-18 inches above your screen.

can't wait to make the switch with all your rave reviews invert.  I think I may buy a floodlight and rig it into a grow light over winter break if I got the extra $.




I found some nice 150w floodlights that have a glass enclosure for less than my Sun System!  I might be picking up one along with another Sun System setup in the future.

Here ya go!  I think it's a good deal! 

Nice, Cheap 150w HPS Floodlight!

Awesome man, rock on, and thank you.

Shhhhh, I do too!  Sometimes people just aren't motivated enough for me around here.  I really wish more people actively participated like you do and I try really hard as well. 

Thank you again.  I'll be posting in there shortly!
