dude, dont go cfl for veg when u have a 600 watt HID system, if anything use T5 tubes but cfls u have to keep them right on the plants like 4 inches away anywhere u want any considerable growth, believe me...plus for 3-6 plants ur gonna need like 30 bulbs, have u looked into just getting a conversion metal halide bulb that you can use in the hps ballast???..thats how i veg and they kick ass...u dont wanna pay for two separete set ups...
How many watt bulb do you think id need for a MH bulb during vegging stage? Id much rather do what youre saying and not have 2 different set ups but wont using CFLs be more cost officiant rather than running an MH bulb for 18hrs a day? Also.. how much would a MH converter even cost?
