how much does a cfl light go for, and how many would someone need to grow 5 foot plants. i talked to someone who said they were gonna veg till 4 or 5 feet. he thought hed do it using 2 cfls. i told him its probably not gonna happen. if your gonna buy 15 bulbs when they are around 5 bucks each right? thats 75 bucks wouldnt you just be better off buying a 150 or a 250 hps for like a hundred bucks?
i got my sun supply 10 for 200 and its a 600 hps. so it couldnt cost that much for a 150hps or a 250 right?
the whole reason i waited on buying a hps lamp is i thought it was gonna be a lot more expensive and would be a lot harder to get set up than it was.

they are quite cheap accually i paid 50 bucks for 6x42watts and 4x26watt lights.
Not sure how old this post is but if your vegging for 8 weeks thats a long time, with cfl's you should only be vegging for about 16 days. You can have a crop in 68 days. Sex them about two weeks after you switch to 12 12. Your plants shouldn't get much taller then 2 feet because cfls don't have enough light for bigger grows.

real beauties you ahve there. Looks like pretty close node spacing - those buds should be fat and dense. Good grow!
