Best light for mother plants?

[bigganjabud]

Hi everyone,
Basically im thinking of getting a few mother plants going ive got a spare dr120 and a cool tube that is now redundant so im hoping i can get rid on the bay or using it in this new mummy tent idea

So im thinking of a massive cfl but im a bit baffled what watt i should get

Duel spec or not?

If im going with a straight blue spectrum would it just be easyer to get a mh instead?

Whats the best veg/mother lamps available?

Cfl vs mh pros cons?

Help me out please my mind is racing through ideas and possibilitys

I think a 250w MH would be decent in that tent for Moms. 400w might be more ideal for aggressive vegging, but if you're just wanting to keep some Moms and clones, I still think you could get away with the 250w and be plenty happy with it. You can get a 250w MH for around $120, pretty cheap.

I wouldn't bother with a single CFL bulb in that space. Not enough light spread.
