Yea but for the big 125W bulbs they usually don't come with a ballast built in like small CFLs do so you might need a ballast to run the bigger CFLs along with a mogul socket.

You can use the same size bulb 125w but just a different spectrum. So you would want to look for a 125W that says 2700k, for flowering instead of 6500k. You still want it to be 125W though just a dif spectrum of light

You need a bigger socket for the larger CFLs. I have 2 250w (actual wattage) CFLs. One for veg and one for flower...Turns out 250w of CFL isn't enough to grow a couple of plants, the way I imagined the plants growing.
