When someone refers to the number of node pairs is that the number of stipule pairs which in time will produce (hopefully) pistil pairs? I now have 4 on a 3" plant 24 days old.Is this normal for T5s and would an HID
make a big dif. and about how much?

nodes are where the fan leaves & lateral branches grow off the main stem, & an hid puts out more lumens than a t5, so in therory the hid will be better, more light = faster growth.

I am growing ONE plant indoors and I am wondering exactly what I need for lighting.

If I am growing with CFLS,
how many do I need and what wattage?

If I am growing with MH,
how many do I need and what wattage?

If I am growing with HPS<
how many do I need and what wattage?

the rule of thumb is 50-100w or 3500-5000 lumens per plant.
cfls, youll need 1 105-150w full spectrum, or several 42w (6500k for veg, & 2700k for flower)
MH, u need just 1, a 175w will do. for veg
HPS, u need just 1, a 150-250w will do. for flowering
