HPS lights

    I've read that HPS lights are great during flowering, but is it good to use them through the whole process -- seed to bud? Also, where can I get some without having to order them? and what size: length, wattage lumens should I buy? It'll only be for 2 plants.

    fyi, HID (hps/mh) lights require a balast as well as the bulb and fixture as they can not be used without all three. That said, I use a 400hps/mh switchable, its the only way to go.

    Thanks for the advice, I found a hps/mh switchable at a local store made by sunleaves offered in both 250W and 400W models. Is there a noticeable difference between the 250W and 400W if I'm only going to need it for a few plants at most? btw, how much are some cheap CFL's and where do I get them?

    thanks
