What light should I buy for the veg growth ? - which will be replaced by a son t 1000w for flowering. I was thinking of a 200w cfl. Have I got the power ratio right here ? ie, 200w for veg then the 1000w hps for flower ? I don't want to veg with the 1000w as I think this may be over kill and theres the lack of blue spectrum.

I've gone for a 250w mh/hps changable lamp.

I veg under CFLS I have various 2 bulb 40w areas. you can grow a pretty big plant under cfls in veg you would be suprised and with small pots too. I have a 400 and 600 for flower and by the time I veg them under the cfls and flower them under the HPSs they are a good 3.5 4 foot bushes
