    I only have one plant so it's nothing big. I already have 2x26w cfl's, but im sure that isn't enough. Any help would be appreciated.

    Get 2 more of those 26watts and you'll be set!

    I would recommend using MH for vegging and two weeks into bud, then bring in a HPS. Use both until the last two weeks when it's flush time and then finish out with the HPS. MH makes your buds fluffy and the HPS makes them harden up!!! Good luck and happy token;)

    Thanks for all the help. I will mount a couple more lights and see what happens.

    Lighting is everything in a grow, It all depends on your set up as to how much and what type you will use.
    If heat is a problem then you have to cool things off by going with cfl's I use the T-5 lights and yes it works but not as well as the HID or HPS.
    My yield will not be as good as someone using those systems, however I am restricted to what I have.
    There are as many variations in lighting systems as there are buds on your plants.
