Hey guys I was wondering what size light I should use to keep 3 or 4 mothers? Should I run it 18/6 or 24/0?

Thanks

Well, to save yourself 25% in electric costs, ust the 18/6 for sure.

What kind of lights to use depends on so many factors. At minimum, a couple of shop lights would do it if you kept em small

I use a 250mh on 4 off 4 continously, with flurs on during the off times saves juice and maintains veg. This is only 12 hours of 250 lite per day with 160 watts of flurs doing the rest. When I want more growth I run 20/4 with all the lites 250mh and 4-40 flurs.
