I am not a member of the "CFLs are just as good as HPS" school of thought, I was just thinking you could use them as a last resort if you're unable to use HPS for whatever reason.
If you're saying that you'll use more kWh with the CFL's in general, then I respectfully apologize and bow down to your knowledge.
Mostly, I'm not interested in arguing with you, just understanding the whole CFL thing, and I know it's a hot topic, but how would you sum up your opinion on it??

you got it with the cfls
and the summe of this all:
cfl: great for vegging cheap and almost as good as MH (cfl up to 100Lum/W, MH 120lum/W)
MH: top notch to veg with but not cheap and trick since it deveops a shitload of heat (
but big cfls get damn warm too!!)
HPS: still the way to go for flowering (there are even special bubls that can be used for veg which are heavier on the blue side but the sale for up to 3 times the price of normal flowering HPS bulbs!)
