Anybody using supplemental lighting outdoors to keep their plants in veg longer without dragging them into a grow room at night. I'm using an automatic dusk timer set at 4 hours past sunset. I have three 100w equivalent CFL's. They work well for small plants but don't have enough coverage when the plants get about 1.5'-2' or so.
I got talked into trying this soil. I decided to do a side by side comparison. The one on the left with the blue tape is this eco garbage and the one on the right is my soil mix, sunshine 4 with roots organic dry nutes mixed in. These are from the same batch of clones and planted at the same time.
I dumped the rest of the bag out. Just a heads up if you think about using this stuff, it is not good for cannabis. Aloha!

I bought a bag from Home Depot to use in the veggie garden and it smelled like straight up shit inside. It is made from grocery stores expired produce and basically should be treated like compost and further amended for best results.

Here's what I found. Whiteflies ingest plant juices and in turn produce a sticky substance known as honeydew. Honeydew left on its own can cause fungal diseases to form on leaves. Plants will become extremely weak and may be unable to carry out photosynthesis. Leaves may dry out and turn yellow, and growth will be stunted. Check undersides of leaves around the veins for flies, even if they aren’t visible, feel leaf surfaces for honeydew.Eggs are also laid on the undersides of leaves.
Adult females can produce up to 400 eggs, which can hatch anytime between one week and a month. They are usually laid in a circular patter
Treatment:
-Spray with insecticidal soap. Follow up twice or three times.
-Try this homemade mixture from the Almanac to control and deter whiteflies: In a 32-ounce spray bottle mix 2 parts rubbing alcohol, 5 parts water, and 1 tablespoon liquid soap. Spray the mixture on the foliage of garden plants that are susceptible to these pests.

HPS. Some people do MH for flower but I've read that it is pretty strain specific to get good results with just MH.
The newish Hortilux Blue bulbs are supposed to have a more complete spectrum and do super well for both veg and flower, but they cost a lot more and i've read they dont last as long. I think it only works with electronic ballasts and not digital or magnetic ballasts, so maybe thats why it craps out on some people early.

I just ordered this one, it comes with both types of bulbs. Getting the 1000 watt one, how many plants can this cover?

Kind of depends on your hood and growing style. I have a 400w in a 3.5"x3.5"x6.5" tent and I think a 400w is the bare minimum for that size. I fit 4 plants in 5 gal's that are all LST'd and spread out wide. There's definite sweet spots under the light, so I just rotate them around every so often to give everyone a fair chance.
With a higher wattage, you don't need to worry about light penetration as much and don't need to spread out your plants as wide, so you can fit more and still have good light reaching the bottom of your plant.
I also got a bag from Home Depot for potted herbs (oregano, parsley, etc.). All of them grew either hardened dark green or yellow leaves. Thanks Dyna Ryda and kaloconnection for the reports. I was thinking of using the leftovers in a mmj grow by mixing it into other soil, but am going to get rid of it.
