So I'm curious to know where the heck you got a 600 digitial ballast for $119. You tell me where and I'm in the MH/HPS business within the week.
If anyone is growing with CFL's and is worried about growth...

18 CFLs, 1 cord, 1 plug, no need for a surge strip.
draws less amperage than a 400watt hps ballast I'm sure

And to that I say good job you did that setup correctly.Now if people would show more of that setup then the fire hazard thing would be mute.I compliment you on taking the time and inlining the sockets and using caps.Very well done I say

This is 3 plants at 4 wks flower. I think I'm running 12 of the 18 total light capacity. The plants have been pulled down to almost fill the width of a small room (26"x53"). The results are not impressive, but at the same time not too bad. These lights raise the temp in my room by 3 degrees f.
The same noobs that complain about their cabinets getting hot are probably the same ones trying to ventilate with a small cpu fan. The CFM on those types of fans are not accurate.

I never saw anyone tell someone to go buy 20 CFLs. I use 6 43 watt cfls and a t-5 for my veg cycle, and then a 400 HPS and my 6 43 watters for the flower cycle. I do this to cut down on elect usage during veg cycle. My plants grow bushy and strong. I love the CFLs. But you will get better buds of course with more powerful lights.
But Filthy Fletch, just because you do not like something does not mean that others can not. Some people like to be on top, some people like to be on the bottom. Who is correct?
Check out Major Tokes CFL grow journal, and then tell me that CFLs will only grow shit buds.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but the plants are nearly pulled horizontal. At the very bottom the light is not so great. The top 2/3 of the plant, where most of the buds are get pretty good light. CFLs are only going to penetrate 6" or so I Top/FIM and LST to get as much of the plant directly under the lights.
