Whats up RIU? I need some advice/info on lighting. So here it goes.
I'll be growing in a grow tent or fairly large closet, and I wanted to know some of the most cost effective lighting setups. I was thinking of running T5's for vegetative growth, and then a 600w HPS and CFL's for flowering. Now, the questions:
1. Are the CFL's a good addition to the HPS for flowering?
2. What would be a way for me to use only one ballast for a 600w MH and 600w HPS (not at the same time)? And is this a good way to go until I can upgrade?
3. Are lighting systems with a built in ballast any generally any good? (Specifically this one)
thanks for the help peeps!
