Hey everybody.
Ive reached a bit of a fork in the road of my planning process for a small/personal hydro grow cabinet. The cab itself is about 3x3x6 and has shelves if needed. For lighting Im going with a 400w Sunleaves Pulsar Two-Way Mini that includes both a metal halide and high pressure sodium bulb all for $200.
With this in mind, however, I was attracted to the broader spectrum of the Son-Agro 430w HPS bulb, so the distributor said hed be willing to either give me the setup with ONLY a 430w son-agro for the same price, or the son-agro and the standard metal halide for $20 more.
Heres what Im trying to decide whether or not to do:
I was thinking I could go with both bulbs included and use the halide for veg. and switch to the HPS for flower, or for another $20 do the same thing only with the better HPS bulb (the son-agro).
On the other hand, I would get just the son-agro for the same price and split my cabinet in half, upper half using the HID for flower and lower half doing a cfl setup for clones/ veg.
I dont want huge-ass plants, just nice bushy ladies. Also, if I do the latter setup with the cfls, I could do a perpetual grow whereas the former setup would be a longer process.
I know that was just a lot of info, but all and any help would be MUCH appreciated. I will try to post pics as the build goes down.
Thanks a bunch
