the grow shop near me is supposed to carry DM as the DM website shows, however the shops website and store does not have them. and they have all kinds of FF products, but they never seem to have hydro FFGB either. so i guess FloraNova or Age Old it is, ill just buy what seems best for the best price when i go.

Are they going to be in the same res? Oh yeah i would also get a ph and ppm wand. PH problems SUCK. I've heard those horilux bulbs are good. But i still wouldn't overlook flouros for veg (no offence to all the HID vegers) IMO the low heat and higher blue color spectrum are great on the flouros and plus u can make up for the lower lumen output with a closer light distance. But again that would all depend on # of plants and how tall they are.
done i think.
yeah. i might veg under fluros but you cant beat the deal on the light so idk yet. and also i have a pH test kit, and pH up and down. either way with that, i intend on buying an HPS light soon.
