I like to hang a 65 watt gro flood light above each plant. I'm just wondering, what kind of flood light would be best for the flowering stage?

Most floodlights i'm familiar with have those tiny bulbs. These types of lights put off to much direct heat Im pretty sure they are not very efficient for growing.

Compact fluorescent bulbs are very inexpensive and don't put off that much heat. If you just starting out i would suggest using those.

You have to find the bulbs with low kelvin ratings 5000 or lower for flowering. I use a compact flourescent flood light I bought from Home Depot for cloning, it is 100w 6500k so it wouldnt work to good for flowering. Look for "warm" bulbs or better yet use HPS.
