Will CFL's and a T5 work just like a HPS?

You could, but the satisfaction of your results will greatly depend on your expectations. If you are looking for a QP then you will probably be disappointed IMO, but if you just want to enjoy the experience of growing your own smoke then anything will work. Like Stinky said, having the lights as close as possible will give you the best results, like 1 inch, just make sure you have a fan blowing between the lights and the plants and check on them every day because they can grow into the bulb over night.

so a lot of CFL's and two T5's wont give me as good of a yield as a 400w hps lamp. :rastasmoke:
