the way i look at it. the real person issues with cfls are. fire is my main concern. now in theory, if i have 10 lights plugged in, at 10 watts, or 1 at 100 watts, i think the higher number of plugs, cables, and just plain statistics should say its more dangerous, so instead of 1 risk, you have 10 risks. 10 cables to worry about plugging, splicing, moving, touching things and burning, falling breaking. and then theres the more technical theory of lights loose energy. the loss of energy i think would be higher due to the 10 different circuits. i mean that could be nothing, maybe theory, but this is 2 reasons on top of the other 100 to get hps.

well it aint true 900 watts, its the equivelant of 900 watts, each bulb is a 150 watt equivelant so 150 x 6 bulbs = 900. its fuckin bright i kno that much.

Cfls cannot compete with a hps in any way shape or form,i know this from experience.
The bud from a hps lamp though and mixed fluro lighting of any kind is very good:blsmoke:

i dont think so either. i just think people try to justify, flo's cos its all they have, there about as good as fem seeds for 12/12.
like i always say flos are great for vegg, and even to add to a hps grow when flowering, " loads of sockets wires ect.." not for me.
and plus there isnt many growers that get good buds from just flos. just flos. i mite be wrong but ive not seen hardly any. just a few die hard growers.lol

Ive grown with fluros for years previously and i am saying this from my own experience and not from any bias.
To be completely honest any fluro light tubes,cfls etc. suck when you compare the quality of the final bud,but if you combine cfls,fluros and hps this gives great results.:blsmoke:

Dont get me wrong if they are all you can get your hands on you can still grow yourself some smokable weed,but the quality and tightness of a hps bud is most definitely better.
I have nothing against cfls but trust me the buds from a hps are so much better.
Once you've tried a hps you'll never go back to cfls:mrgreen:
