Yeah that's not uncommon in some form or another. CFL's do produce good bud, make sure you get a few different spectrums bulbs. Seems to help. Hell, even adding a few cheap fluorescent bulbs can make a plant sugar up on the side of the extra bulb. Drinking a little if this doesn't make sense. They God for spell check on fourescent...lol

It sounds like a waste of time. Half the wattage in PCBs would stomp all over what you're suggesting.

I know you didn't say it was the best lighting ever. It's actually one of the worst - incredibly outdated technology. A few bucks more will get you where you need to be.
Check QBs, Chill LED, or Photon Fantom. CFLs are a waste of time/money.
And BTW - If you're trying to budget this grow out, A19 bulbs from a hardware store with the diffusers removed will outperform CFLs.

"In the LED forums, somebody did an Apogee [umol/s meter] test on Cree led lightbulbs [9.5watt] versus a 26watt cfl. [Both 2700k and 5000k]
The led put out 400+umol/s @ 6" from the sides, the Cfl did about 200 umol/s while drawing nearly three times the power."
^ That's a post from 2014. LEDs have become even more efficient since then.
Why even suggest CFLs when you get better tech for the same money? It doesn't make sense.
