From what i've seen, cfl's seem to work best when placed all around the plants as far as yield goes. plus I heard that the high watt cfl's tend to burn out quicker and its cheaper to get a bunch of 26-68w bulbs. Do what you think will work best for your situation though. I am finally happy with the amount of light and placement of my lights for my box. Good luck
I totally agree with this. I would much rather have the coverage and the longevity of 26-68w. My local grow shop said that 150-250w go out on average of 3-4 months!!! $$$$15-$20 a pop can add up.

I should tell u how glad i am to hear that those were just the male root balls!!
My heart sank when i first saw the pic. Your setup looks great by the way.
