You know guys I seriously do and am reconsidering the whole growing thing nothing has ever made me happier in my life however I just don't think its fair to the plants to be neglected... I have no time for anything in life and pains me I hurt them )they feel too) ;) good thing I don't have kids and am single!

I've actually found, that CFL (or normal flouro) and MH aren't all that different. In fact, CFL and flouro's in the proper temp (6500°K)* easier then you can get a MH bulb @ that temp. I've found that most standard MH grow bulbs (unless they are specialty, and those can run you up to 60 bux a bulb) are 5500°K, or 5000°K. Although, i've heard of MH bulbs in the 7000°K - 7500°K range. But i'm getting off topic. I'm running 17x 23 W CFL's, each putting out 1600 Lumens each. Giving me roughly 30,000 Lumens @ just over 400W's. Yes, with MH I could be getting an extra 5000 Lumens or so, but the temp isn't always as good as it is in flouro's and CFL's. Good luck rene, i'm keepin an eye.

Fab ncg I know I need to do this shit not a lack of knowing how but please someone tell me when they can find me time in my 6am to 10pm schedule (some nights later) reading my own thread and seeing how awful the procrastination is makes me sad :( I go through ups and downs with the grow I'm truly a perfectionist so when things aren't done as I like I drive myself crazy till I abandon whatever the task may be I'd have given up long time ago if it wasn't for all you here on riu! And a bit of tough love from lime lol thank you all!!! And kmk that was just awesome cracked up! Oh and balzac thanks for stopping by sweetie I know you are busy but don't be a stranger :)

lol. I write it all down too. I keep an actual grow journal in a comp book I had, and keep a picture/video log of each watering. Most likely over kill. But I forget things constantly and without this, i'd NEVER remember when the last time I watered was ;-)

im a big fan of CFL's...im also an even bigger fan of many small (23w) cfl's over the single big wattage cfl's. Ive always like it that way because like you said, you can pull a shit load of lumens. im not doubting you but i find it very hard to believe that 17 cfl's put off the same heat as a 400? mh..
my first grow was with 10 23w's and now i only use 7 and my temps are outta control. do you use an inline fan or something? my temps in my cab are ALWAYS atleast 10 degrees hotter then the rest of my house... not doubting you bro, just find it hard to believe
