It depends on how much space you have to work with and money to work with.
if you have a small grow space then i would go with CFLs.
if you have a lot of space then go with hps and mh lights.

Well i originally wanted four in my closet. I figured half or more would be male so i wouldnt need a whole lot of space. Im using cfls now one cool white and one warm and they're in 4inche pots and a box on my dresser lol i managed to come across a light relflector that holds those tube lights. It goes to 1000w. But like i said i only really want four. So im wondering if i can use lower watt tubed instead of 1000w ...or is that still needed? I got a pretty big budget not crazy big but im willing to put in the money needed to have some good smoking buds later = ) also im wondering where i can buy some kind of plastic reflector tape to line my closet with? Sorry so many dumb questions i just really want to get this right the right way the first time around. Thanks so much for the help
