Lightbulb Growing with CFL? A must read for you then...
K the items below are links to sites that might help you if you are looking for better higher wattage CFL bulbs.

Links are below.
(The first link.. is my favorite. They have CFL bulbs that are equal to 250watts and above i think. I know they have 250watters because I have some from this company. They work great!)

For my grows, I currently use 4 bulbs total.

all 4 bulbs are 250watts a peice or well equal to 250watt output.

I have two 2600k 250wtt CFL's for my flowering.. (mixed with one 6500k 40watt CFL) and then my other two bulbs are 250watt CFL 6500k for vegetative cycle. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Those are equivalent wattages for 42 and 55w cfls. I also like 42s and think they give the best watt per dollar. Here is the best buy on 2700k 42w, only $5 each shipped! They also have 6500k but not as cheap

I picked up 12 2700K 100w equivalents at Home Depot for $21. They've got "contractor" boxes of lights. Look for those, best value. I've got five in my setup right now, three 6500K 42w. Need some more 6500K to swap out some of the 2700K and save those for flowering, but at least I'm burning them in now to get full luminosity during flowering!
