New grower lighting question

[newguysteve]

Hi guys, So I am new to growing but ie done a ton of research and I think I am ready to go out and get my first lights
I just want to make sure I am not screwing up because I dont have a lot of money so i need to be sure to get good results

after researching here and a couple other places it seems cfl and leds work well together, but i cant afford both, would i be better of with an led light, or like 10 50w cfl blubs?

If you guys could chime in with which is better cfl or leds and guide me to sucess it would be tons of good karma for your spirit

If you can squeeze the money for a LED I would do that. Great sponsors here.

Have to do the maths I'm baked

 

[newguysteve]

leds are way better than cfl than if i can get 800 grams off 400 watts

im going to go to home depot right now and get them !

A good grow light is probably the most important purchase,besides seeds, in growing

It can be done with light bulbs, but usually by seasoned growers

Spend the $$$ now on a light

even though they looked like they did better from pictures online but you just cant trust people sometimes I guess
