cfls make buds... why do people under estimate CFLS i dont understand. YES cfls will grow your plants and make buds as nice and juicy as hps. ive see nthis guy grow 1 massive monster yeilding over 3 ounces from cfls and love. lol
cfl's will absolutely grow a plant through flowering. Unfortunately there has been COUNTLESS tests, and journals written to confirm that they will NOT grow buds "as nice and juicy" as HID lighting.

go 400watt digitanl hps from lumatek with hortilux bulb

then pick up a stanley blower fan from Walmart @ 39.99 rated at ~ 2200 cfm to expel nearly all the heat

I'm sticking to my original opinion. For a 3x3 space a 250w light is IDEAL. Heat becomes too much of an issue with a 400w. I would say that under 10sq ft. you don't get much use out of 400 vs. a 200. I will try my next grow with my 400w and let you know how much of a pain in the ass the heat is and if I get more yield. I will have to try to find the same clones at the store though to make it fair.

3 X 3, 600 watt HPS, BALLAST OUTSIDE the room. pulled 1 lb off it.

I thin k if you max out your lumens you can get bud that you CAN compare to HID lighting... 1-2 ounce a plant is possible from little plants under cfl's :bigjoint:

Everything is possible, you just gotta look over the bounderies. i also have see nshitty bud compared to HID from cfls...unfourtunatley they wer'nt good growers..
