Hi,

I've been here for a few months and probably never seen this post. I can't afford a HPS System at the moment, can i flower with a MH system? Or am I asking for trouble? All I have is 450w CFLs and 400w MH setup.

Thanks,

not if you have a good way of cooling you want to have it as close as you can without burning just like cfl

never cooled my cfls. Just moved them when needed. Ill just dangle the mh bulb from the ceiling. My setup for the mh bulb is from the dinosaur age.
