I've been using HID light systems since the beginning. I know alot of members on these boards like to use fluorescents for various reasons. For instance, they are cheaper to buy, cheaper to run and produce much less heat. Fluorescent technology has come a long way in the past few years. They now even have Compact fluorescent bulbs which can replace any incadescent bulb. Let's just say the amount of people using fuorescents with pretty good results on these forums has peeked my interest. I'm not saying I'm gonna replace my HID's, I still think they are the best type of light for growing. But I do wanna learn more about fluorescents and possibly use them instead of my 400 watt MH I currently use for my mothers. I'm starting to do alot of research on the internet and am trying to learn everything I can about fluorescents. What types to use and when. As I go along I will keep this thread updated with different information. In the mean time I hope experienced fluorescent growers chime in with there knowledge and experiences as well.
