South Aus would be great place to be.
I would live there except that I have kids in Brisbane, and I am in a hurry to get back in that direction.
I've always used a 4oo water son t., but I'm not lookin foward to the electricity bill down here.
It's 14 cents a kilo hour.
I have only been here few months, and am having a go at dutch passion's "orange bud"
I always flower under fluoros, I reckon u getter better branching 'cause u can keep the light on the tops of the plants.
It seems to take a week or two longer to reach a flowering hight of around 30 cm. But the amount of branchs makes it worth it.
In fact, I usually get to the point where I get sick of waiting for the hight, and start to raise the hight of the fluoros to make them race up a bit.
I reckon if u kept an eye on them, and kept the light right on the tips, u could almost keep a plant under 30 cm nearly forever, but wow!, the branching is great.
Internodes so close together u wouldn't measure them.
I have 4x 4 ft fluoros screwed into a hood I made, with a hinged side, the sides are about 20 cm high, so the plants get heaps of light in the little home made chamber.
It's been so long since I veged plants with a HID I have forgotten what they grow lIke LOL.
But that's the truth.
Maybe I'll have to do it again one day, but it'll be when I move away from Tas., to somewhere that the power is a bit cheaper.
