I expected nothing but an argument with no back up from you, and I have not been disappointed.
I know they grow plants and might even say sometimes they grow plants well....But like that first plant in your pics ..they grow small plants..dont they?
jm420,
My answers are not "knee-jerk" responses to blindly support my view. They are an open minded search for a better grow.
Keep this point of view in mind and you will be well served.

treefrog,
Thanks for your kind words.
I have been growing cannabis literally since 1968 and have long since forgotten the trials and tribulations of the learning curve. But all and all it is a hardy plant with a strong will to survive.
If someone has a preference for HID or fluorescent or any other lighting I have no problem with that. But when someone states that cultivation under this or that type of lighting is impossible I feel I must at least show them that it is, if indeed that is the truth. Looking at only one type of lighting to the exclusion of all others is sophomoric thinking. And that thinker is literally a wise fool. Technical bigotry is just as ugly as any other type of bigotry.
The whole point is that lighting is just a tool and a good craftsman chooses his tool according to the task at hand.
It is as simple as that.
Thanks again,
H.G.
not so my friend, i've seen 400watt HPS bulbs for more
than $100.00 and ATL sells 400watt CMH bulbs for $52.00
so half the price not twice the price.
ok guys, i need some advice.
