I'm growing out of a small Ebb n Flow system its callled Hydro Farm MegaGarden it 22" x 22"x 10" it holds 15 5.5"x5.5" inch square pots. What kind of light would be best to go with for the budget? and is there anything out there for carbon without have to by an expensive co2 set-up or do i really need that for this small hydro set-up. Can any and all recommend me some of the Highest yeild and best indica strains? I am currently looking at affliction seed bank and Nirvana Seeds Aurora Indica seem like a great choice and you get 10 seeds for $27.49 U.s.d. anyone got any opinions?

Thanks all they all sound great but im lookin for an indica rather than sativa due to a small grow space. I am really interested in Wonder Woman Fem. from Nirvana.

Oh yea, an HID that, is what? Maybe 35% efficient versus a 80% efficient CFL with nearly no IR radiation(compared to HID) and ability to put within INCHES of the plant(this is critical). 80/35= 2.3 times as much PAR light per watt. That's right, CFLs are 2 times as efficient for growing plants as HID. You can find 200 or 250 W CFL replacement bulbs for HPS/MH/MV mogul sockets. Simply disconnect the ballast from the socket and hook up current directly to the socket. They even come with conversion kits to help re-wire fixtures. Some guys(salesmen?) claim much higher numbers than I am here(like 100% PAR, 4-6 times more efficient).

At least your HID'er have lower winter electric bills... maybe. Hate to see your summer power bill! Ouch.
