exactly, the difference in resin production and density of bud with a HPS is alot more serious. CFL's are great to start with tho to get your hands dirty. You will be so happy with hps results in th future. good growwell , if u got these results with the cfls, ull do really well with the mh/hps
hate to break this to you both but lumes don't add up. your just spreading the lumes over a wider space.you can use some of your bulbs to get light to the lower branches. the more foilage that gets light the better with cfls. cfls don't have the penatrating power that hids do. its a common mistake most new growers make.uhh hold up, lemme go find out... ight juss added it all up and i got approx 16,350 lumens and im thinkin once they get out of that one month seedling stage i have a 62 watt 4400k thats 4200 lumens and a couple 2 20 watters that are 1000 lumen each dont know the kelvin of those but light is light... but once they get out of that stage and get a lil taller ill add those to cover more of the foilage wich will put me at like 22,000 lumens pretty close to urs
