What kind of light should I use?

Id like to see how she's does under 2700k CFL 23w for the flowering phase. I now veg my (12) girls under 18 - 5000k CFLs for 10 weeks n (12) girls under (2) 1000w hps for 10 weeks flower. keeping cycle approx every 10 weeks. So I'm curious to know the difference if I went with 18 CFLs in flower!

Anyone ever compared?

Wrong. I have vegged with HPS many times. My plants were so short and bushy I moved the light up.
You must be basing this on what you have read, not witnessed.

How do you know that LEDs are "garbage"? Have you use them?

Myself and many other people get great quality using HPS during flowering.
You must be doing it wrong.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Step away from the computer and stop giving advice about that which you know nothing.

There are tons of examples of LED vegging/flowering plants and doing a great job.

I'm worried about quality. I am not a drug dealer.

You would save money on electricity if you used led.
