For a grow bed of 4' x 8' x 1', jammed to the max with vegs, every six inches, for home use only, and in the basement, for year round growing, I am totally at a loss as to which lights, how many, brand name, power, etc. Of course I am looking for the most economical thing to do. I certainly do not want an extra $200 per month in electrical bills, or sticker shock at setup costs. I just want enough to keep the vegs alive, and not looking for the super duper grow-em as fast as I can. I figure aquaponics will grow plenty fast for me.
Anyone know a good setup? Thx, Bill.
