Indoor $100 lighting budget??

[hitman_64]

Surf is correct cfl and t5s have their hold. They are of course on the more expensive side. You already have all these bulbs buy ya some seeds and see what you can do with what you got. If you're still not satisfied with the results then take the 100 maybe buy ya a used 400 or 600w hps. By then maybe you'll have another 50 or so and can buy you a conversion bulb.then use your lights that you already have for underneath lighting and bust a nut watching your yield go up.

Yea it's a big grow space but I only grow 2 or 3 at a time I'm not looking for a ocean of bud just yet I have to get the hang of wading a stream first, but those are the equivalent watts listed on the package by the way

When you're talking CFLs its good to use actual watts in your math, not equivalents... Whatcha got?

2 68s warm 4 20s and 2 23s cool

I would bulk up with either an HPS combo or a large CFL or T5 panel... Probably just over 100 bucks if you shop around...

Warms or cools

red spectrum is most important and most used light for auto. they like blue spectrum for the first 3 weeks but then they need red mostly

I just picked up a 400 watt MH/HPS combo on ebay for $103.95 US shipped.
The trick with buying on Ebay, is to be patient, set your max price, be sure and pay attention to shipping cost when setting max price, and never get caught up in the auction fever. If you don't win at first, don't worry, an identical item will be listed soon. It only took me 2 days of bidding, to get this deal.
