I would say try the 250 hps first and see where the environment sits after a while. What do you have for air extraction? As long as the air can be drawn out should be fine. If the temps raise too much after 15 min, then cfl would be the way. Welcome to AFN by the way.

Look into cobs like the ones available at www.cobshop.net. Great lights. Small, easy to move. No noise. Low heat. Low electrical draw. Wonderfully efficient. They basically kick ass. I really like how healthy my plants are under cobs.

thank for the info i have a carbon filter and out take fan again never used but the plants are starting to smell too much for my liking due to the person next door its a no no if he got the smell i have place the tent in the place where my water tank is i have them on 18/6 off 6 during the day and when i know there in bed i can give them a lot more air in the past my plants would be showing more i think the led has to be changed to speed it up i have already lost a few hundred pounds worth of lights i need this to get by with everyday stuff and where i stay they want £25 a gram i refuse to pay that

25 quid a gram! where the hell are you? orkney or somethin lol. id try the hps and see how you get on mate. i use cfl for my seedlings but i wouldnt use them for growing past the first few weeks. theyre just not that great for it. leds dont need to be expensive though man. i use mars 600's (270w) and theyre wicked! only cost a hundred quid and about 40p a day to run : )

I was looking at the mars lights and I think a 600 would be perfect but what do you think of putting the other 300w in or get a good 600 and use and keep the 300 I have for the early stages or sell it and get a 600 that can be switched and would it be more power running 2 x 300 than a say a 600 like yours i don't want to have too many lights and extra stuff to be hit in the pocket again its a fucking joke this has to be done tike am growing something that will hurt someone as we all know it can do the opposite thanks for your time man respect
