I've seen great MH grows. I've seen great HPS grows. I've seen great CFL grows.
All the lights work, each has pros and cons.
I've seen experienced CFL growers pull higher quality, higher weight yields with less watts using CFLs properly. I trust you will too if you actually LOOK. There's so many prime examples! I wouldn't want to offend anyone here by non-inclusion because I probably haven't seen the best they can do.
Take every '1st/2nd/3rd timer' etc notion and dismiss it. Having a more powerful light isn't going to vastly improve any novices' success. Expecting perfection on your first try with anything is probably not a good idea.
I think it's a much more friendly introduction to growing. You can get the lights anywhere, they're affordable, replaceable, friendly(just plug them in!), and they perform excellently when used in conjunction with good practices and adapt to small & medium applications extremely well.
