hey yes tou will still probably need more light
get yourself a couple more 150 watters of the 2700k spectrum and you should have sufficient lighting that powerful cfl should be for your top buds and then throw in a few more around it for side lighting

for flowering a HPS or a NMH are the best to get...I've seen a few threads around here that you get the ballist a 250 hps for like $80... that's your best bet....

I went from doing full on flouros to a 400watt HPS... man... the bud doesn't even compare..... huge huge difference in bud density.... definately worth the extra cash for the HPS.

yes but you have to realize that some people cant afford it,

in my prefference i say hps all the way i have 3 400 watters a 600watter and a 1000watter
all switchable mh to hps ballast
as soon as i bought cfls i knew i wanted something bigger, and i went bigger

i deffeinetaly couldnt afford a hps at the min.

so that light with my 150 watt cfl, will my micro buds grow?

I realize some ppl cant afford to spring $100-$150 for a new MH/HPS system, but by the time you get all of the CFL's that you need, dont they end up spending just as much, if not more?

BTW... I found my MH/HPS switchable 400w on Craigslist. Got it for $100.
