I have a plant that is currently outside and its starting to bud, however it is getting way to cold outside so I am going to uproot it and bring it inside. What kind of light can I use that is affordable and will work well? Please help!! I dont want my baby to die!!

for just one plant thats already half done you may just want to get 3-4 100watt equalilent cfls they will work but not the best. If you plan to continue to grow indoors then go with a h.i.d. if you only want a couple of plants a 250 watt hid will do you good, the more plants you want the higher wattage the hid you need.

u need cfl's energy saving light bulbs anything over 27w. but u will need like 4 or 5 of them.plus you want to get the right color temperature or kelvin. and that is from 2700k-4000k-6500k.

no matter what if you can afford it and have the grow space get a 400 + watt MH / HPS lamp. it is the best and will give you the best results. go to google search insidesun its a company that sells refurbished lights u can get them shipped with both bulbs ( bulbs are new ) for 125 for a 400 watt and 150 or so for 1000 watt. the hoods are a little ghetto but your saving around 200 $ and f it the hoods not growing your plants. so spend the money its like the cost ofa good quarter of bud and you will get alot more then that out of it

You have to open the link twice to get the right page.

The other day a guy got free shipping because online ordering didn't work and because he was a new customer. If you call that might happen for you or might not. Either way yea they're $20 and lots of folks are using them on here now.

But this guy is talking about an outdoor plant. How BIG is the plant sir?

What kind of crack are you smoking? 150w equivalent flouro's put put out ~2600 lumens. A 150w hps puts out ~15,000 lumens.

Did you miss the potential for free shipping too?

It's not a contest, hps always wins.
