I had a similar experience. CFL is for supplementation. I have used them, but I have used them properly. You people are trying to hammer a nail in with a screwdriver. I started looking for an HPS/MH from the time I plugged that light in. Having 8, 4' T-12s, a 22" reptile UV bulb, and 6 23 watt CFL (for supplementation of lower growth), I was pushing almost 600 watts as well, but it's a shady day compared to the HPS that is in there now. Oh, and it's a whole lot easier to move, and deal with the heat too than the big old floro.

u can see him burning all his plants with his CFL contraption lmao.
I am guessing you don't know much about how CFLs work. That contraption is actually quite genius and well made.
hope that isn't mylar you used? if so not smart mylar is flammable.

It's still flammable. And it's a poor choice for your purposes.

I disagree....hold a lighter under it and it melts, shrinks away.....according to Dupont..its stable up to around 300 degrees..well read the thing..farther back is more
My bulbs are about 100degrees.. I can comfortably grab one
I would also say that "contraption" sucks as well..looks like it puts out very little light, couldn't imagine flowering under that..I have 750 watts in 20x26" cab and as I said. I pull a lb....growing landrace sativas....if you know what your doing you can get weight. I pull slightly less than my 600cooltube..including ballast they about use the sane amount....but the bud out of cfl is better and the plants are healthier..I've been doing this a long time, something like 11 years..I still run my cfl setup even with the slightly lower yield because of the bud.. I do have an hps to compare to and I'm not comparing my newb grows to my experienced late grows using different lights like y'all
I have an hps and I still choose to keep my cfl setup along side...you don't think there's a reason? Lol yea you probly did get poor results using those long tubes and very little lumens..
