You should start a new thread instead of asking for help in a lighting tutorial.

I agree with akunuka.

mind if i ask the strain and if those are 2x125 or 2x200w red or blues etc, asking to determine what i would like,. hella nice results bro grats on that

2 125's. Can't remember the strain. Sorry, MJ causes short term memory loss and age causes CRS syndrome so I'm pretty much fucked

yea i suffer from crs all the effin time, i just bought 12 23w warm and 2 27w daylight, hope those will be sufficient for 1 plant through all stages, again its just for love of growing and the exp. with it, i have outdoor for actualy crop/smoke...i gotta say out of all the MJ pics and everything ive seen, thats my favorite picture of all, im being completely honest too! ok so you bought a 1000w hps / mh system and grew 2 1/2 lbs on 1 plant great! but you with 2 125 fluros grew that? now thats fuckin impressive! i was wondering if u had more pics of this or ur current grow? sorry but i took that pic and made it my background too! heh anyway great job bro i really hope to see more of ur work!

Time has taught me that multiple smaller lights cover any area better than one larger light. This is true of all lamps, but especially fluoros because they don't penetrate very far. Vertically hung bulbs at varying heights produces more compact and prolific growth than overhead lighting alone, in my experience.

iam new at the whole indoor growing i have a few diffrent lights at my finger tips. what would be the better ones to use? fluorscent luminaries 4-4x54 54watt 4100 or 40watt fluorscent grow lux.any ideas would be great.

avoid tubes, they're only good for cloning. You want CFLs a combination of warm and cool 26 watters is the cheapest way to go as the bulbs are the most popular.
