just another bit of advice, i know a lot of people on here use flouros, but in my opinion they are just noy worth the hastle if total secrecy isnt an issue.
ive grown with flouros before and in my opinion its just not worth the hastle of adjusting them and wiring them all up, and by the time you purchase enough bulbs and spend a few hours putting it all together to get satisfactory results, you would have spent enough money and labour to buy a good hps system anyway, which you simply plug and play.
im not saying it cant be done with flouros, but the end result speaks for itself.
400whps, 6 plants, 14ish days into flowering

Heh, CFLs are no hassle. WalMart sells for a buck or two adapters that let you plug the light directly into a socket, and 1-to-2 socket adapters. In three minutes, for about $5 or $10 (not counting bulbs), you can have the 'wiring' done for 8, 12, 16 bulbs, whatever you want. That ain't much hassle. If you don't have 3 minutes to devote to the task, you probably don't have enough time to grow anything anyway. It took me longer to install my HPS light than it did eight CFLs.
