300 watt cfls are available in my area of the U.S. , even at Home Depot. I don't use the big ones because my set up requires a very flat light area due to lack of space, and the smaller flouros can tuck up real nicely without having to worry about heat.

No, i dont think you will get results close to a 400 watt and 600 watt hps, but some might disagree I guess.

Also try to break up your sentences man, your post was less than easy to read

well do you know how many lumens a 300w cfl puts out? because all you would have to do is figure out if that is close to the number of lumens a 400w hps puts out etc.
