what the fuck? what helped? is that as confusing to you as it is me or am i missing something? I dont know much about that helping but i cant see where it would hurt so go for it, some extra cfls would probably be more beneficial though.

you could just use a MH light. i bought one from a local hydro store, its only a 250watt but it will work for a 2x2 space which is all i need for one plant only $200 bucks with the bulb and everything. but you could get a 400watt for.....hold on im looking in the sales guide they gave me.....$225 bucks. that covers a four by four area then you wrap up some mylar, kick on the fans and wait a month. lol

Yeah if your going to make a bigger area your either going to want those huge cfl grow bulbs, or a HPS. When you start using alot of the smaller cfls(23-40w) it does actually just get cheaper to buy a hps. A 250w Mh runs about 30000lumens, where 12 23w cfls run @a total of 276w and only produce 19.8k lumens.....see wat i'm saying, i recently made the switch myself and the heat was easily controllable. And 400w set ups only run for like another $100 and are good for a 3x3area(do a scrog).

With using a hps for the grow you can veg and flower(use a mh for veg if u make a veg box), the hps will produce much denser and bigger nugs then cfls, you'll really notice and love the difference.
