5000k will dramatically slow the growth of flowering, actually, compared to say 3000 or 3500k.
Should I get an led light?

No, but I have plenty of experience with cree cx cobs. Which is what it uses. So yes. It'll be your best bet. Unless you can up to $300 then get a kit from timbergrowlights.com

Why give up? I grew a couple very good plants using cfl's, it just takes longer but the taste and high is great.

So you think I should get the one you have. The one you get on amazon for 150.

So what are your questions about getting an led? They are not equal to hps lights unless you get like a $1500 black dog led. Im running a 14 plant scrog under 1800watts led so if you have any questions just pm me its easier then going back and forth of the thread

I think it's a good option. I don't think you should do anything with your cash you would rather not do.

I'm set on that Tasty for the end of this month, I think. For my single plant home grow. One of my two 450s is overtop of other plants a location I will leave undisclosed, and when the COB comes, my other Vipar willl join the first one.

Depends on the black dog. you can get away with off brand led units depending on what there running for leds and what your style of growing is.

IMO Lolipoping is a must for led growing.

Ya I think so too. I think it will grow my plants faster than using cfl's and thats what I really want.
I just don't know what kind to get.

Just getting a 600watt for like $150-180 and you should be going allot faster then most cfls setups for pretty cheap. i can link you one if you would like?

Nah bro they are all shit specs are the reason. Unless you like to pay a high cost for a low output then go for it. High end cobs are the only thing thats worth it over HPS DE HPS and LEC.

You can still make a good one for under.. just less efficient.

If were speaking about efficiency then thats a whole other thing. but true.

Efficiency, spread, penetration, and light output... HPS is still better.

You can go back and forth about it all day but it depends on your situation.

Facts are not dependent on situation. But people can spend their money on what ever they like

For that size space with that budget, I'd be trying to swing a CMH, that's for sure. No idea why you think 2x4 is small.
