I have grown Nirvana's Chrystal once...it is easy to grow, but I like Nirvana's NL and White Widow better.
I have never used CFLs. I used MH and HPS.
I grew it in amended ProMixBX (soilless mix)
Moderate odor.
Nice Buzz.
There are too many other strains that I prefer so it has only been grown out once by me.
