Cant afford HPS, what CFL use in flowering?

Hey guys im hoping to get some help from some pros...I am vegging my plant with 4 100w cfl's, but im thinking of flowering her. I would like to keep the setup i have, so as you can see im going to need 4 new bulbs for flowering or if you guys think its ok to just leave what i got which are 4 bright white flor.

Thanks for the help.

High Tech Garden Supply Here's one complete...even a small hps will do ya better than cfls....I too resisted and am glad I caved. With shipping it came to about 90 dollars....just take it out, put on reflectors and plug it in. Otherwise if you're completely resistant get some warm white cfls with a 2700k color temp.

Absolutely gorgeous! How long has she been in veg for? You can leave the bulbs you have, but will likely see a reduced yield as compared to any HID. Changing the bulbs to soft white or 2700K cfl's may slightly increase the yield, but as to the extent of increase i am unsure. She looks great though keep up the good work!

Warm White all the way. Switch to 100% warm white bulbs and u will be laughing!

Yh she looks Sw33t .. Um keep the 6400k's in there as you will need them and just buy 4 2700k

yep, worm light!

Alright just got back from the store, bought four 150w 2700K CFLs and am going to start 12-12, ill make a picture diary for you guys. She is about 3 feet tall now and very bushy, WISH ME LUCK!

PS. purchased everything for under $40!!

you sure they are 150watters not 42 watters ..?

yea 42 watts used, is that how i should say it, not 150w output?

yh coz the 150w one is Incandescent Equal

The 150W cfls are huge bulbs comare to 42W ..
G.luck with her .. looks really good

Post up some pictures of it budding It looks like a beautiful plant, very vibrant green.
