CFLS are good for Mini SoG, Clones, Small plants, seedlings, and for lighting spots where the HPS doesn't reach. I wouldn't consider CFL only flowering... Requires too many lights and too much work to maintain.

Thank you for making it simple and thorough, lighting is the one thing i just have trouble understanding, and this helps me and others alot.

i was just wondering if the cfl lights being turned on all day/night would it be a huge expense on ur hydro bill. will u notice a huge amount of difference or no.

i changed every bulb in my house to cfl and i use 24 - 23watters with no difference in my elect bill. the rest of the house being lit by cfl cancels them out!
