I ran my first two grows with cfl. I'm glad I did it gave me a chance to learn the plant a little before adding all the heat and vetilation that comes with the 1000watt. I've also got similar yields with both, but I probably haven't used the GPS to its full potential yet

Are you going to be transplanting into bigger pots, or are you gonna stay with the one gallons?

It all depends on size and shape of your plant. When using cfl they don't have much coverage so they have to be alot closer. The rule is you don't want any part of the plant in a shadow. If you see a dark spot add more light
