SCROG With CFLs?

Hey guys my plant is about 9 inches tall inside the cabinet i have (signature link) and i built a SCROG that i want to place over it at 8 inches (bring higher nodes under) and start on 12/12. I would say my Veg time has been 3-4 weeks. I was curious due to CFLs not having good penetration, is SCROG a good idea or should i just buy a 150W HPS for the 2x1 ft area im growing in. I have a 1000w in the house but can not run it due to not needing that amount of light and 160 dollars in difference for electric bill.

How long is your veg time by the way?

I only grow with CFLs and scrog from start to finish. I have never had a problem with light

what height is your screen at, what do you use. I have PVC pipe screwed to side of cabinet at 8 inches above pot

I would love to see pictures of both of your scrog setups!

Thanks!

here is some pics of my SCROG, i just implemented this today and it is at 9 inches only two shoots penetrating. Im gonna switch to 12/12 when half is full

Thanks for posting, I am really trying to nail down my grow chamber size and I think that this space wil be pretty close to what I will be building. Possibley 48 x 48 x 18 deep. Just not sure yet.
