How many total lumens/watts do you have?
I have 6 CFL bulbs.
(1) 23w ~ 1500 Lumens 2700k - 23 - 1500
(3) 30w ~ 2000 Lumens 3000k - 90 - 5100
(2) 42w ~ 2700 Lumens 2700k - 84 - 5400
------------------------------------------------------
So I have a total of =197w - 12,000 Lumens
It's working pretty well for me. I can't wait to see how much better HPS is though.

HPS sounds legit, to much money to go out and get one now  Next Grow I 'm gonna have to get some better supplies and lighting systems. I have a question about harvesting, some of the buds hairs are turing scarlet red and some brownish? But it seems way to early for this to happen. Is this normal or is there something wrong, I was thinking maybe some of the buds are rotting? Theres lots of air exchange and exactly 72 degrees all the time except night time where its upper 60's. What's the problem?

I am Currently doing a all CFL grow with DWC and all the plants are rocken. With CFL grow you start out with 42 watt Actual Daylight Bulb it has a kelvin of 6500k. This mimmics what a MH light doses. I ran them for 24 straight for 3 weeks the plants got to about 2 feet tall and not streched very bushy plants i am happy. Then i switch to flowering 12/12 light cycle and i went out and go Soft White Cfl also 42 Watts they have a kelvin of 2700k this is what a HPS Bulb puts out.
I have 4 plants going so i have bought 4 42 watt Daylight bulbs for Veg
I also have 4 42 watt Soft white bulbs this is the flowering part of growing. But as far as i can tell this CFL system works pretty well.
This is my grow journal/Blog

I have like 4,500+ lumens on one of the plants and there was alot of bud sproutings and hairs but there not getting any bigger, any way to speed things up? can the buds mature if there not growing? or do they just not get any bigger?
When you flower they stretch then stop vertical growth.
edit : just noticed this threads a year old.
