What kind of lights should I get I'm only gonna have 4 girls. What is a cheep and effective way to approach this??

Get a Digital 250watt HPS. The digital ballast adds 20-30% more lumens. If you get a 400w HPS then you might start to worry about heat with the space your in

I used to used a shop light for clone , seedlings, and some veggin. My expedience is that the inter nodal spacing on em gets a little large by the time they get to flowering. Keep it as close as possible, making sure not to burn the ladies, and you should be good. That MH should be cool once they have like 4 true node sections, just careful not to put it to close as heat stress can be a pain in the ass

I have 3 ladies in a tent right now under a 250 watt hps. They seem to be doing alright but im kinda wishin i woulda just spent a little mroe for a 400 watter. You can never have too much light. For the most part at least. You can hit the link for some pictures of what my 250 watt looks like in the ten if youd like

Are Cfl's that much more effecient when it comes to the electricity bill?

^Watt for watt, they are less efficient than HPS lights.

are cfl's cheaper all in all?
