A bunch of CFLs vs. 1 HPS?

  1. Hey guys,

    I'm starting a small grow (1-3 plants at a time) in my cabinet in my room as soon as the seeds come in the mail from herbies. I'll be growing humboldt blue dream and cookies Kush from barney's farm (didn't know about all the bad reviews until I already ordered). I'm wondering if I'll be better off getting a 300w/600w hps light (not sure on the wattage I want just yet) or a bunch of cfls. I know that the hps will definitely promote a higher yield but as far as the electric bill is concerned, will it be cheaper to have just one hps running a 18/6 veg cycle and 12/12 harvest or a bunch of cfls on the same light schedule? I only care because I have a roommate and the bill is in their name and they don't necessarily know about the little grow I'll have going on.

    Thanks in advance!
     
  2. Lmao they're gonna figure it out eventually man might as well give them the heads up.
    Can you closet handle that much heat? Do you have a good ventilation system?
