i'm starting a grow which will include 4 to 6 plants and am shopping for a light. i know that hps is prefered for flowering. I also know that they use alot of power and keeping the cost of the electric bill down is a concern. so i was thinking of using a T5 fixture but will a large 4ft 4xx watt fixture use much more electricity than say a 250 watt hps? if the hps wont use much more power and will produce better end product then it's worth it but if the difference is great then i'll probley go with the T5. if anyone can reccomend which kind of light to use it would be a big help
