im not well enough to not tell you what i meant.whats this no mh needed stuff??...guys cmon now
All very great info bro, only thing I can't agree with is when you say people use T5's for the entire grow and you can't go wrong with any of em really. Honestly I have seen people grow veg+bloom with floros and it's ugly, weak, stetchy plants and tiny, fluffy buds. For veg T5's are great, but when it comes to flowering HPS is the #1 choice, hands down. You get big, tight, dense, heavy buds with HPS I have never seen that with CFL or T5's. I'm not talking shit bro, just tryin to help people out. peace :)
You missed the point, people do very well with cfl/t5's...just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it hasn't been done. and i'm not dissing hps.
hps #1 choice for flowering...Your opinion...ok cool. actually the sun is.
I never said you were talking shit bro. and why so defensive?
I wasn't even replying to you, I believe toone was the one with the question.
as I was only trying to help.
whats this no mh needed stuff??...guys cmon now
hehe me show off..thanks buddy, but im on no level to b called a show off.im not well enough to not tell you what i meant.
imo hes starting new with cfls and twhatever. and then what everybody else said.
im not trying to screw anybody over dude im very insightful in a spooky way
jah bless you you showoff.:eek:
I veg with hps. I've used everything available over the years cuz I'm one them old suckkas who was first to try hps indoors from converted street lights way back! LOL
those thing got hot as hell..Ha! We used to jack street lights from parking garages in college. They were 150w HPS. Grew some dank bagseed with those things! Converted?

HPS #1 choice for flowering is NOT my opinion it is a fact due to years of growers experimenting with different grow lights. Of course the sun is the best but we are talking about man-made grow lights. I have seen people grow with T5's plenty of times and they are very good lights for veg or as supplemental lighting during flowering, but they will not produce what HPS does as a primary light source during flowering. Do some research thats a fact not my opinion. I'm not getting defensive I didn't want you to think I was trying to start an argument but I guess you took it that way :confused:[/quote
I've been growing 20 plus years, the fact is hps are used the most...i agree. i use em for flowering too. All i said was i seen the results, i know of growers who use just mh. or cfl/t5s and had stellar results... If you know your grow you can achieve a very good harvest. I did not say that the cfl/t5s or the MH were better than hps. and i did not say to use either one as a primary.
Hps rule! that better?
But as I stated before, the mixed spectrum of different lights is what I prefer.
ok? i isn't arguing, just putting my 2 cents out there.
your right, You rule... your the fact master... go to Youtube.com and search for cfl grows...or t5s' better yet........
These are just a few of 1,000's of peeps that can get awesome results...if you're uber good...then uber harvest.
At the beginning... I said," cant go wrong with any of em really"if it all ya got or can do...then its all good!
the more the better if the grower is getting a great harvest and is happy, who are you to say Not!
This is a forum of peeps just helping one another and not contradicting other peoples post. You don't know me or what i know and seen.
If you haven't seen any good results from cfls or T5s...I believe you. but I have... sorry you suck at it...:eek:
