This one is mixed with cfls & led bulbs, just some random crap i had lying around.

Not sure if i mentioned it already but I've been growing under a 1000w hid for the past 2 maybe 3 years just for personal use, I've decided im sick of the electricity cost and took down my setup and will probably be replacing it with an led board (hlg550 in mind).

This small grow should hold me off untill i get settled in, fun and will hopefully keep me sharp lol.

I like the idea of the blend of the two. CFL give off a very nice ball light effect, while led bulbs give off the directional lighting effect. I know cfl us slowly die off in the open markets, led is the new path of sorts. I think and it could be wrong about this, but when using leds I think its the combination of the k values that's could be the trick...next grow I guess for me.

as of lady night, watering day is today...

big bitch is covered with 2 cfls with 2700k and 2 cfls with 6500k. She also has 2 led bulbs that 3000k at the top.

the little that sits next to her, is covered on one side with 2 cfls at 6500k and 1 cfl with 6500k and 1 with 2700k it also helps with big bitch, at the top it has 1 led bulb at 5000k which is about 6" from the top
