Hey slow down I'm still trying to figure out how to get coffee.
Ok check out my site below and you will see I use T-5s in veg. They can be used for flowering too. They are inexpensive 4 foot 4 bulb (cool blue) $ 170.0o and not much heat at all. Warm red bulbs for flowering are only 17.00 each to replace veg lights. Last issue of high times did a article on fluorencents and said they really make the bud coated with trichomes, just smaller.

Yeah t5's rule for the first month of veg... i would get the a 400hps for flowering though....you can get one for about 150 dollars on htg supply...at the hydro store, for the new technology your lookig at about 300 dollars for a whole light system w/ a good reflecter, ballast, and bulbs....i didnt have the luxury of getting one yet...but i am gonna get one.... if you want you could just get the t5's(that what i have) and suppliment them with at least 4 cfl's for side lighting....
