CFL vs 70w HPS vs 150w HPs vs 400w HPs

Is that with or without a cooltube?

No cooltube. Lumtek electronic ballast, $40 Sunleaves MH bulb, and a Sunleaves SunSpot hood with no lens or venting.

CFL vs 70w HPS vs 150w HPs vs 400w HPs sorry for the confusing title but this is a battle royal of lumens, if you will. i am in the planning stages of a new frank (for those of you not following the grows, frank is the name given to my pet project by my wife, a la frankenstein, a mix-mash pile of parts i put together). the dimensions of the new box are gonna be 45.5" x 21" x 24" (l x w x h). i was thinking about using two 6 bulb (~36", each bulb is ~1600 lumes.) light bars with Y splitters and 26w CFLs of the appropriate Rating: 5

I'm actually thinking of trying an all floro grow. Seems like cfl<floro<hps. But the advantage of the almost no heat floros could actually be a good fit for my situation.

Might seem like another half arse way to growing but I'm pretty sure if done right you can get a real good product out of it. Could be something you could try as well. The almost not heat benefit is huge for me and small cabs.

Just an idea. :stoned:
