hey reaper, props to u for replying respect that man!

This is actually my first cfl grow, I've borrowed these 125 watters from a friend because my 400 watt grolux generated too much damn concentrated heat! I have discovered CFL's to be perfect because of the fact they can be spread over a large area and hung at different positions..

I'm actually already aware that HID lights generate greater lumens at a more efficient rate which is why they are recommended for flowering growth for canopy penetration. The way i see it though, given my disagreements with heat, and especially since im still in veg, CFL would make sense!

I'm happy to do that, when $500 comes along soon lets hope heheh))

I'm also confident that sensible positioning of the plants and the CFL's at different heights should reduce those problems. I'm actually thinking 50 x 20W here, to get 1000Watt, so thats enough for 20Watts to each bud site, so hmm 1300 lumens or so each? Still sound soppy?

Thanks for your feedback and thoughts man much appreciated

Peace,
Denial
