ive done the cfl thing, then i went to hps. I wont be back cfl if my grow depended on it. my frist hps was 400w. now im running 1000w mh for veg, and 2x1000w hps for flower. all i got to say is if your running cfls or anything else other the mh/hps then your wasting your time. you say your grow cost like a little over $100. well the rule is " Go cheap, Grow cheap" you got guys in here (that have $1000's in their grows) telling you wasting time and if you order seeds then wasting time and good seeds. and yet you dont listen. if your not going to listen then why ask. we are here to more. but that my two cents if you dont like it, sorry . but good luck anyway.
