Anyone growing with fluorescent bulbs?

Just curious if anyone is using only fluorescent bulbs to grow and what kind of luck you are having? What wattage are the bulbs how many are you using etc. I am currently using 5 compact fluorescents and I'm not sure if I would call my luck good but I got something growing that resembles weed!

Intrested to hear and if you got pics post em!

Dude have you read any grow guides or anything? I think you should do some research.

LOL.. I didn't want to be the first one to say it... but bud, you have asked 4 questions all related to this, and you have been told, more lights closer. Check out CFL grow journals, or at least the CFL forum.. you'll find out very quickly about the 3 way light bulb thingy and what most people are using.

I'm using two 4' 40 Watt 5600K T12 tubes... It seems you are using 5600K CFLs in that pic. I would recomend using at least 2 more lights but make them 2700K or 3000K. Get them closer too

doesnt look like any light is getting to the plants
