Closet Grow, 1 Autoflowering

[nube40]

Here is my question, what type of light should I use? It is a closet grow so I was going to use CFL, but some are very large and there is a large variety. Because this is an autoflowering Lowrider, is CFL even a good choice?

Ill be doing the exact same grow pretty soon so Im interested in what people say. Ill probaly be using a 105 Watt full spectrum cfl that they sell at the hydroponic shops..

Here is my question, what type of light should I use?

The 105 Watt full spectrum cfl would probably work very good for the veg cycle, but if you want big fat juicy buds dripping with resin then you should spend the extra $ and get at least a 400w hps. I think (if my memory serves me correctly) Advanced Nutrients did a test using different wattages and determined that the 600w hps was the best light to use for flowering.

I've taken the advice and ordered a 400W hps (switchable) with an electronic ballast. It should arrive with 3 or 4 weeks of flowering left. Oh, and I ordered a Hortilux bulb. Let's see how it goes.

Thanks Again Everyone
