Amount of CFL vs Higher Wattage.

[invision]

[quote=orange_cloud]so I have seven 42W CFL's 2700K in my
I dunno how many lumens 300W HPS would provide (it's gonna be more of course, but not too much I guess)

a single 250watt hps bulb produces 32,000 lumens that almost twice the amount and 50watts less of power and can penetrate 1 foot into the canopy

invision Reviewed by invision on 09-26-2006. Amount of CFL vs Higher Wattage. Is it worth it to drop the extra money on the big CFLS (105-125 watt 30-50$ a light) Or use multiple low wattage? What do you guys with experience think, because I'm considering using all CFLs to save money but still would like to attempt a sea of green grow in a 4X4 organic soil bed (for 16 clone SOG). Rating: 5
