That depends on your definition of "satisfying results".
I am personally satisfied with 1 - 1 1/2'ish ounce per plant for an indoor stealth grow and can be obtained with CFL's.
However, that is comical for an outside grow.

Why dont you look throught the cfl grows and decide for your self dont let otehr people opinions guide you when you can see results your self.
in the end its just your prefrence giant plants full of massive buds will be harder to achive with cfls but small plants trained right can produce decent amounts of killer bud using cfls

I have a 600 watt HPS/MH and a T8 8 bulb setup and a smaller t8 6 bulb setup. The 600 puts out crazy light but the 4ft T8 8 bulb setup puts out a little less. I have also used cfl's and i think the T8's blow cfl's away and less heat. But DarthD3vil is right, check out peoples grow journals and the pics of different grows using the lights your considering getting.

View attachment 1199789View attachment 1199790View attachment 1199791 I'm growing with 10 assorted CFL bulbs and Y splitters. Yes, you can grow with CFL bulbs but you need more to surround the plant to compensate for the minuscule light penetration they provide compared to HPS or MH.
