yup.
edit: i cannot grow in the backyard because it is landscaped and a vegetable garden would make it look ugly. i can only grow indoor but i do not have a room dedicated for it so i have to buy all this stuff.

Ahh, so that answers what was going to be my next question... why not outdoors! What about just small pots outdoors? off to the side. I know lots of friends who grow nice little gardens without an actual vegtable garden but using decorative pots.

not enough direct sunlight in my house cuz my mom's 40+ orchids already occupy all the window space. also, potted plants tend to get a lot of little critters. my tent doesnt have a single insect or bug.

In the era of compact fluorescent bulbs, that's a lot these days.

CFl's are great but they lose intensity very fast over short distances so the light still needs to be kept 2-3 inches above the plant and you still need multiple lights. ive done lots of research before purchasing my HPS and HPS/MH was still the best route.

the brightest 200watt CFL only has about 10,000 lumens. two of those bulbs will draw 400watts and emit 20,000 lumens while one single 400watt HPS has 50,000 lumens.
