HPS vs. cfl question

[trutattoo13]

would it be cheaper to run 6 27w CFLs 12 hrs a day or a 250w HPS 12 hrs a day

You'll want the hps spectrum for flower

c'mon do the math..... 6x27=162 yeah it will use less power
but i'm guessing you will have less light

 

[polo the don]

would it be cheaper to run 6 27w CFLs 12 hrs a day or a 250w HPS 12 hrs a day

27x6=162
250x1=250

The cfl's will use less watts therefore cheaper to use.

But

You will gain SOOO much more using hps than you will save using 88 less watts by using cfl's.
