My father in the early 90 was a huge grower in the metro Detroit area. I have no got all his lights that he had. But my question is are the lights any good? He had 2 kinds of bulbs they ar 48" fluorescents with two bulbs per light fixture I have about 4 fixture and hundreds of bulbs. My quest are the bulbs any good for growing now a days. There are type types the fist one is General electric; plat light gro and sho. 40 W F40PL ( this lite looks purpleish ) Duro lite power twist vita-lite 40 w Are these light two old or should I upgrade any help we be great Also any one got a nutrient list for a bubble bucket. First time with hydro. Thanks again
Hey neighbor!!..Huge grower from metro area..hmmmm. grower from the D here. Scrap those lights, go with MH/HPS..of course you didn't say how many plants you were growin', even so you can't get better results than HID. If going hydro..check out Rumple's thread on bubble buckets. And for nutrients general hydroponic works well. You can use the lucas formula. Good Luck
