WOW! this may be an old thread but reading Monkz dumbass ignorant posts makes me fuckin laugh. You have no fuckin idea what you are talking about. In actuality, CFLs are the best lighting you can have spectrum wise, it is just not as powerful. And happygrowing is right, having a mix of light sources is way better. You're right, there is PLENTY of info on this website. So before you go calling someone a noob based on posts, you go check out their grow pics. HappyGrowing happens to have some crazy looking plants, way better than your stunted mutant lookin plants in your wack ass setup
