Hey im about to start 6 white widow feminized seeds and was in a dilema about what lights to use, mainly for potency and yeild. I can either use a 600w or 400w hps or mh. Would it be better to also use some cfls along with the mainlight or is it just overkill? Also should i buy a mh for veg or just use the hps through both cycles? What amount of soil should i use per plant for a decent yeild? Any help would be appreciated thanks!:leaf:

400 MH for veg 600 HPS for flower. complimenting lights with cfls is optional but more light is always best. no such thing as 2 much unless you burn your plants

the 600

cfl's on the side can get light to the lower branches to help bud production below the canopy

get a conversion bulb that is mh/hps

1 gal pot per 1 foot of growth - lots of people use 3 gal pots though

Thanks for the replies! I was also wondering a good soil mix to start these in I've seen some people using 100% pearlite with great results but I've also been told to add humus, and sponge rock. Any suggestions? I also need a good fertilizer too! thanks!
