I gotcha, yeah i would go with a hid because from what i understand the pros of cfl's really diminish once you get to many

In HID a 600w should do, since it's just veg a 400w could prolly cut it too but i think they're both basically similiar pricing so really depends on your worry on heat

I only do indoor so I can't really say on how that will work bringing it outdoor. But indoor when vegging the typical is 18 lights on/6 lights off or you can go 20/4 or 24/0(for veg, when you flower you got to 12/12). While indoor just dont let it get to 12/12
