So I'm upgrading lights, but I'm conflicted. I've seen how well some people on here grow under CFLs, but it's usually like 1 or 2 plants. I was originally thinking 2-3 plants under CFLs would be fine, but I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better off just getting one 400W HPS and doing 12/12's. I have space, but not a lot of resources, and I'm just growing for my own personal use. I plan to continue growing in some sort of soil or soil-like mix, obviously smaller plants going 12/12 from the start. I'm considering 12/12 from the start because I do use it for health reasons and would like to be able to supply myself without having to purchase from outside sources. I currently use 2 zips a month.
So, folks, what do you think? I'll break it back down for the tl;dr crowd:
1. CFLs or 400W HPS for 4 plants?
2. Would 4 plants grown 12/12 from seed yield enough to accomplish my goals of keeping myself from having to buy? (2 zips a month useage)
