Absolutely amazing.

So you had 250 watts of CFL total? (I am guessing that is actual, not the equivalent in regular bulbs like they always put on CLF packages)

Do they produce any more heat than regular CFLs?

This is so cool

Hi melodious fellow,
yeah the 250 is actual watts, the sunleaves catalog claims around 10000 lumens a piece but ive seen different outputs for different makers of the 125 watt cfl's. the heat question is yes, they do produce some heat especially around the ballast, but i have an exhaust fan that is at the same level as the bulbs so it keeps the heat down quite a bit. at one point i had the bulbs closer together on an adjustable board and i had the main cola grow right up inside the two and at that time the bulbs had about 6 inches of space between them and never one sign of burning. I guess the heat issue of them would have to be worked out for ones individual needs, but they are working well for me in my cab. Thanks again!

Thanks adam59600,
I did look into the 250 watt hps lighting, but i never found a setup for $50 so I am definately going to look into the site, thanks for that. There were many factors in why i chose the cfl's. Some reasons seem to have paid off and some not so much, but its my first grow (that lasted this long), and I am happy with the results so far, I really couldnt have asked for much more. I will post the results and more pics from time to time. Thanks for everyones input!:jointsmile:
