how many wats u running? for now im just using a cfls 4 interupt the dark period so my girls keep growing but def need to upgrade
if you're talking about "shop lights". I highly suggest going with either T-8's or T-12 setups for vegging. Do not waste the extra money on a T-5 setup. They are not worth the extra money. I find that my T-8s & T-12's work just as good, and run a lot cooler too. T-5 's with all their hype. The end results don't really impress me at all. Especially, never use T-5's for flowering, that is unless you want "pop corn" buds!?
As for watts. I wouldn't really worry about how many using. I'd just keep my eyes on your meter on the side of your house. I use just two 600 HPS lights on tracks. My monthly bill runs me around betwen $350.00 & $ 400.00 every month. This is without running an AC or CO2!?!? What do we pay on BI for our electricity,..roughly 38 cents per kill-o-watt. I believe we are the highest in the nation,bar none!!!

For what it's worth, I'll agree w/ you, Puna. I've got a HO T5, and my results look just the same as everyone else who is just using cfls to veg with, which makes me very tempted to switch over. I hear if you mix the blue and yellow cfls if works pretty well.

Aloha Bruddah's. I agree with not going with the T5's. I built me two Super charged T8's. You can do that for about 44 bux at Wal mart. That is just the fixtures. I use it to Veg and it is just as bright as a T5. You can find the info on Youtube. Supercharging T8's. My 2 fixtures blast 110 watts per strip. The lights actually give you a glare ache( as I call it) because it is way brighter than what a stock T8 is. You also have to choose the right colors(5000-6500k) for veg and (2700-3000k) for flowering. Either way the fixture + bulbs end up being way cheaper than buying a 4 strip T5, and it burns the same wattage. I prefer to Veg for 2 months and put outdoors to flower with our beautiful HI sun. Oh yeah. Got to love our 'Aina. Aloha ame Malama i ka Pakalolo.....

I might have to crack my express seed... can. not. resist. You're tempting me!
Peace, hawaiian growers. Time to go get some work done
outstanding medical qualitybrah just go Home Depot and get yourself a four ft. shop light setup . Either T-8 or T-12. Just make sure you have soft & cool bulbs on your final fixture setup. Don't let sale's rep talk you into buying aquarime bulbs either. Just remember soft & cool,..soft & cool,soft & cool, and you're good to go!

Here' a few shot of my "Silver Haze"(Sensi Seeds) and "Papaya"(Nirvana). Early on the Papaya had mutated leaves but the mutation went away after a month of vegen. The Silver Haze is sturdy and uniform I love this strain early on. I took some cutting of both plants last week the papaya cutting are showing roots, I should start to see roots from the SH cuttings any day now (cuttings are in jiffy pellets, used the cheapy Root Tone powder) the papaya is on the left and they just started to flower, The SH is to the right about it's about month into flowering

Yo Dr. G.,
seems your island Kauai is up to their old tricks once again. What's wrong with the police there? This was taken from Star bulletin today:
Anti-pot rally targets bills in Legislature
The Kauai Police Department, Kauai Anti-Drug Program, Office of the Prosecuting Attorney and community organizations will hold an anti-drug rally at 4 p.m. Thursday in front of the County Building on Rice Street.
The organizations are holding the rally because of legislation that seeks to decriminalize marijuana possession and distribution, legalize marijuana cultivation and commercial dispensaries, and eliminate the Board of Education's reporting requirements for students possessing marijuana, said a Kauai County news release.
"If passed, these measures will result in increased violent crime, economic crisis and a rise in marijuana usage among our children," said Prosecuting Attorney Shaylene Iseri-Carvalho.
