Hello all, my last grow, my first actually, wasn't very much a success. I yielded about 15-20 grams... I was hoping for 4-6 ounces so you can see my disappointment. I think I gave her way too much nitrogen as some of her leaves felt really leathery and turned a dark green. Anyways to the point, I was using CFLs, and I've heard these are not the best when it comes to growing herb but everytime I look at the local hydroponic shops around here HPS setups are anywhere from 260-320$ and I really don't have that. I know you have to spend money to get good shit but are there any online sites with better deals or anyone selling used ones? I'm looking for a 1000watt HPS and MH. My roomate is hopefully going to be aquiring a grow card, which means we can grow up to 12 plants. I figured eventually I'd need two setups but for now I'll just get one and grow 6 plants. A 1000watt HPS and MH should be very efficient for 6 plants correct? And the MH and HPS can both be used in the same ballast and everything? Thank you for any help, it's much appreciated. Also, in our basement there are 40 watt ecolux lights, are these T12's or something? And if so would they be better than the CFLs for growing? Thanks you and please excuse my lack of knowledge, you gotta' start somewhere.
