Have a 1000w MH plantmax for veg. Should I go with this 200w 5000k natural daylight CFL or look for a 600w? I was thinking 2 for flowering I'm only flowering 4 Thanks guys
That MH light could be used to veg like 12 plants, why go from 250w a plant to 25w? You would be better off trying to flower with the MH. I veg with a 400w MH and flower with a 1000w HPS.
I'm only growing 4 plants but I see what you mean how much did you spend on an HPS and ballast. Cost is the only reason why I want a CFL because they are cheaper. Sent from my Z750C using Grasscity Forum mobile app
I paid about $280 for my 1000w HPS and ballast. If you have a digital ballast you could just buy a 1000w HPS bulb.
The yields you're going to be achieving won't even be comparable. You'll grow enough to pay the extra electricity plus more with the 1000w.
