Dam it!! Thanks a Lot guys. You put a Gun to my head and made me buy a 400 watt High Pressure Sodium light today..:hump: Now I have (3) 27 watt (100 watt) daylight cfls, (1) 46 watt (150 watt) soft white cfl, and (1) 48" T-5 light, and my 400 watt HPS light. I would think these lights should do great now. I put the HPS light about 2' above my plants for right now until I find out just how hot this thing gets.

i am using mixed cfls i have 2 [ 18 inch T8 fouro tubes] 2[ 23 watt soft whites] and 2 [26 watt 6500k] all providing for my 3 lil ones, i think the wide spectrum will help out alot any suggestions send a message to me but ya i think you should mix up the bulbs from what ive read it helps alot, they call it "old school" CFL growing haha i also just ordered

1 x Sunlite 45W CFL Bulb: 6500K (Vegetative) Standard Base
1 x LED FAR Red 660nm Grow Light 1W - Standard Base 120V

im gunna mix those in also i think it will work out nice
