veg lights

Not only is it not a bad idea, it's a very good idea. Find vendor's on eBay selling 'Feliz' cfl bulbs.. they come in 125, 200 and 250 watt sizes and in both veg and flower (2700 and 6500 kelvin) models. The do require a large Mogul socket, but the vendor that lists them also lists a socket cord combo for a good price. I've been using these since the first of the year for veg and actually plan on using one of them for 'early flower' for their first couple weeks of 12/12 then move them under the 600 watt hps. Further down the road, I plan on replacing my 600 hps with 4 of the 250 cfls.. they are that good.

i olny use floro for veg all hid are for flowering my opinion
thnx guys. ive been using hid lights for veg cause that's all i had they worked so good i never stopped but i think i might be in the minority.but i'm gonna expand and electricity is a concern. i also get the feeling that the HID's are overkill for vegging, iwas checking into 125w cfls what do you think?are t5's better, or both?

Any will work. T5 hoods offer a nice even light coverage. CFL blubs are point source lights

Vegging with t5 allows me ultimate assurance. My plants grow slower under a t5 compared to a halide, plus I don't have to worry about high temperatures. This allows me to focus 100% on bloom.
Best of luck.
