I've never grown using a hydroponics system. just about everyone says not to use fluorescent, but they've worked for me. I was thinking if anyone has tried using fluorescent lighting during all the stages of growth. i know it might bring in a smaller yield, but will it work?
personaly i would not bother flowering a plant under florecents ya gonna get no yield and what you do get will be chit weed
YES... the answer is YES, CFL's or HPS will work for either hydro or soil. Think of the plant like a car... if you put premium(hydro) or regular (soil) in the gas tank, will the car move forward. The answer is obviously YES.
