Depends what you want to do with it

I'd guess full spectrum for veg growth and then a different bulb for 12/12.

My last dabble with lights was 2000 - I went for a SON-T Agro, which fulfils both veg & 12/12 - but that was 9 years ago and I expect things have moved on since then.

I reckon Boner might know...

Either would be good for lighting a hallway. If you want to grow weed then go with HPS.

i'm getting quite reasonable results with 200w 2700 k warm white envirolites...,self ballasted...so a pure plug n play set up if thats any help to you ...it's a 2 bulb rig...plants can touch the bulbs without any real worries either....5/6 plants at a time,nice closet grow for personal amusement

HPS is the way to go but they're not suitable for everyone for whatever reason, I've seen grows using those sort of bulbs over at ICMag and they can be quite successful, the thing is you wont get the light density that a HPS will give you which will in turn give you lighter fluffier buds.

Thanx guys!

for HPS light they cost too much and im living already in a box and if my hydro jump to high theyll know what im up too.just last year we add 2 air cond and fans working and we got a visit from hydro once they saw was only fans air con was all okay but told us we should cut down so our bill wouldnt be a big diffrents.well to my surprise my monthly bill of 40$ turned out to be for that month 120$ for 2fans and 2 aircon working 24/7 for a month!! so i know if my bill goes over the 60$ ill be getting a visit or something was thinking of unplugging a bunch of stuff for the time like all tvs in the house 1of the 2 friges stop using dryer... and use CFL lights for 2or plants in a 4x4x4 spot!?

just think eco wise...just switch off all unnecessary stuff when running the lights etc,like power packs,fone chargers,switch house lights off when not in the room.....with a little thought it is workable without your electric consumption jumping when growing good luck and happy growing
