23w CFL = 1600 lumens = 69.6 lumens/watt
30w CFL = 2000 lumens = 66.7 lumens/watt
40w CFL = 2600 lumens = 66.3 lumens/watt
compared to
150w HPS = 14000 lumens = 93.3 lumens/watt
250w HPS = 28000 lumens = 112 lumens/watt
400w HPS = 50000 lumens = 125 lumens/watt
600w HPS = 90000 lumens = 150 lumens/watt
Found this in a sticky, so 400 HPS blows away the CFL'S, but the grow space would have something to do with it wouldnt it?:rasta:

LSY,
I know when I transfer plants from the CFL to the HPS or MH light things take off. But the CFL's are great for veg and lower operating cost.
Well Hemp thats why im with the CFL'S, but just keeping up on the educating. Seeing grows like yours as well as some iv seen makes me so eager to pick up what i can. I will be starting a thread here today. I have a set up now with a few pics, so its time to move:hippy::rasta:Quote:

Well thats my plan now. I have all CFL's on them. I never relized how bright they were. I only have 2 26w on them and there 2 weeks old, but there small, i mean really small. But i had them under 1 CFL for about a week and a half, now that iv put them under 2 theyve doubled in size in 4 days, but cant wait to get 4 of them on them on em. Il get a log going soon, cuz i have pics from start. We could compare notes? Oh and sorry about the double post, i tried to re word something and just noticed it happen:wtf:Quote:
