Ron, I love your site. I built the 11 Plant Garden and transplanted a NorthernLight/Skunk breed into the the system about one month ago. Everything looks good so far. I am using 8 48" cool white
bulbs, producing approx. 24,000 lumens, and white posterboard for reflection. The lighting arrangement looks like the top half of a tanning bed. I know I would be better off with a 250w
hps, but I cannot afford one at this point. Am I wasting my time completely or just some. Thanks, Brandon
