hey yes tou will still probably need more light
get yourself a couple more 150 watters of the 2700k spectrum and you should have sufficient lighting that powerful cfl should be for your top buds and then throw in a few more around it for side lighting

for flowering a HPS or a NMH are the best to get...I've seen a few threads around here that you get the ballist a 250 hps for like $80... that's your best bet....

I went from doing full on flouros to a 400watt HPS... man... the bud doesn't even compare..... huge huge difference in bud density.... definately worth the extra cash for the HPS.

I realize some ppl cant afford to spring $100-$150 for a new MH/HPS system, but by the time you get all of the CFL's that you need, dont they end up spending just as much, if not more?

BTW... I found my MH/HPS switchable 400w on Craigslist. Got it for $100.
