Let it burn,have you done the math yet.All the bulbs you are using draw 26 watts each,that totals 910 watts.You could be running a 1000 watt hps or mh for the same money.You need to switch to 2 400w hps or mh.You will get better results and save some change.
I have grown with both cfl and hps.I used the big 250w cfl's and now use 2 150w hps.The difference in growth between the cfl and hps is very noticeable.I still use the cfl's but only for veggining for 4 weeks.OPH
