flows are better for veg because 1 they are also good for clones and 2 you can get them in 4 foot length and such and use few of them and still get good veg growth but for flowering you want to go with atleast CFLs to get a decent result

please are you using an hps to judge??i rooted clones with a 150 hps so u can root clones with a hps...i keep my 400hps wwithin 4 feet of my plants no burns and my growth from my plants will make your plants look like seedlings.

you can get a 250 watt hps and that would be more better than 2 250 watt cfls.and less energy
