That is one of the great things about CFL set ups. You can switch your spectrum with absolute ease. However, If you get the bug to buy a HID set up, take a look at the Lumatek electronic ballasts. Those ballasts will run HPS or MH without even having to flip a switch, just like any CFL set up.
I liked the stuff I grew with my CFLs, but all my CFL grow did was make me hungry for the next level.
I dig the CFLs though, they're a great way to limit spending while we learn the ropes. That's the path I walked.
I see you joined back in 2010. You have many grows under your belt?

Thank you good sir! Although I still haven't quite figured out what all the "rep" is about/for and who/why people can give it out lol.+ Rep ...
This is technically my 3rd grow. Grow number one I didn't really know what I was doing and turned to here when searching for bits of information. Here's the first grow:
I didn't want to fuck up my second grow so I got hardcore into this forum and produced this month old Male. I accidently had the light cycle set wrong so it showed quite early.
And now this grow you're reading about lol

Rollitup really is the cat's meow isn't it? I did nearly all of my homework here and still Google search the site for any information I'm seeking. Do you keep a calendar or a record of waterings, feedings, and other events that take place throughout the grow?
I've found that briefly recording my observations and actions have really helped from the first grow to this one. I find it helps one reflect on missteps and mistakes.
If you don't mind my asking, what is the purpose of your grow? Legal/Illegal Medicinal, Recreational, Hobby/Learning?
Hey Lime, you've got some nice stuff there. I'm perusing your threads as we speak.

Reputation ...is your green bar under your profile name...if someone gives you good advise or helps you with grow...add to rep,(sheriff star beside Journal this post).... if you add to someones rep it will go up
so more you help or pics you post more reputation you get...or visa versa.... or there is just a "like" button(bottom right) which is just if someone is being funny or you just like what they say or posted

I loosley keep all my records in this thread for watering. I'm not using any extra nutes besides what's in the MG soil as I'm afraid to burn them the way it is. I've though about getting a calander to keep in the room with everything on it
For personal use and experiance. There's just something cool about growing one for yourself
Only reason we have three is so we can get ONE female lol.

...Just for my own personal smoke...and I have a Passion for growing ....and like to keep it as Simple as i can 
Thanks i grow bag-seed in Mg soil , all of them.

I grow mine for recreational too and down the road I figure maybe I'll be able to reap the economic benefits of having this particular skill set (Once it's legal in my state of course). I wish my girl would toke with me though. She's cool with my growing and smoking, she just doesn't get down herself.
I order my seeds from Nirvana and I've found that ordering feminized seeds really is the way to go. In my first grow I started with ten regular seeds and ended up with four of five females, but having those males take up space with not knowing which plants to pay attention to was kind of a pain in the butt. I would say it is worth it to order feminized seeds so you can focus on growing your baby.
Things are working out a lot better now that my attention has been focused on growing instead of wondering.
Take a look at the grows I've linked in my signature if you haven't yet.

from my experience i will never scrog bagseed again, too much work for it to turn out male and have to rip it out of the screen, and once you flower it it stops growing at a good rate. if you want to try ScROG get a fem seed so you can vegg for a good amnt of time and fill that screen properly.
just my 2¢

that's why you use clones, cuttings from a definite female mother plant, to use for a scrog...then they are all female
none of my bag-seed turned out male? and i wanted one.

Haha thanks guys. I'm starting to fill out a calander for the grow closet with all the starting/watering times and whatnot on it so I can really keep track of my girls. If my math is correct they should be 3 weeks from starting tomorrow
ALMOST caught up to where I was before my last plant turned Male lol!

Alright, been pondering over how I'm going to go about the new setup when I replant them into larger pots this weekend and purchase a few more lights. I want to have 4 bulbs per plant using the lease amount of bulbs still as possible (8 vs 12).
I plan to use a total of 6 "Y" adapters to create two "clusters" of 4 bulbs such as pictured here:
And in order to line them up right and use the least amount of space/bulbs possible I drew up this crappy little diagram to show my plan. Needless to say I'm stoned and have had a lot of time on my hands this evening lol!!
