what light should i use?

iv currently got cfl cos iv got a small setup...like 2.5ft by 1.5ft but i wanna use better light,what should i do?will hps get way too hot?if i got another cfl would that make them grow better or would it not make any difference?.....

oo gee thanx for all the replies people

You have no room in such a small space for a light and reflector and plants and air. If you are to go with all CFL's get the right spectrum, heat and color. (6500k)
And get a shitload of them.

im gona grow with a 70w hps in a box half the size as yours, id get a 150w hps if i were you. just have good ventilation

editk my box is about same as yours now that i read properly, get a 70w hps and keep the cfls if u need them.

i say get this Light Bank...........SH Hydroponics, Inc. > Multi Spectrum 315 Watt CFL Light Bank

look into T5's

im usin 1 250w cfl at the moment like i did with my last two grows,just wonderin if another cfl wud make a difference?

the pic below is of my first grow with just one cfl,they had there main colas chopped off on both pics cos they were ready first.

what you all think?

lookin back now i do think the light should have been closer,i had a different strain of plant in there that grew taller than the other afghan so i had to bend it and higher the lights slightly

hell yea adding another CFL... would make a hella of a difference

so another 250w?

would the heat be double?

what is your temp right now with that one bulb???

70-75 ,60 when its off

i dont think adding another 250 watter will spike it up that much over 85 i dont think im sure u got a fan on in there
