i have one like that, but thats a lot to pay for it. theyre good for vegging, if you want to flower with one, get the 2700k coolwhite version. and stick your 8 40w cfls in as well!

those plus your others around the side would be good for a few small plants. nearly 2x the lumens/watt as HID<~~~~~~~serious bullshit. won't get near as many lumens/watt as an HID (notice they don't specify the lumen output) you can expect to get about 10,000 lumens. don't get me wrong, it is a quality bulb, but after your plant gets just over a foot tall, lower leaves will start dying off from lack of light. that is where your other cfls will come into play.

I'm a week into flowering 2 plants with a 125w red cfl. They're quite happy with it, having vegged under 5 26w blues.
