Default Re: Lighting?

In my grow room the only thing I use over the winter is fluorescent fixtures. I use blue spectrum bulbs 6500Kelvin and it's either 2800 or 3200 lumins I can't remember. Just look for the tubes marked daylite, daylite deluxe, or maybe full spectrum. HID/MH lights are great if you are doing production for a nursery but probably more expensive than the average homeowner would want to pay. If your are a hardcore hobbists maybe, but fluorescent is much cheaper.
