from experience with 150's..........your gonna want more. im not trying to be a buzz kill. try and keep and even canopy using lst. and with any cfl throw them on the sides or under the canopy. if you can't step up to a bigger hps then just keep in mind that the 150 doesn't have great penetrating power. so utilize cfl's for hitting spots the 150 can't.

id grab some 42 watters at home depot or lowes

thats what im trying to do with the cfls i move them to diff spots the 150 cant hit ever 2 hours or so

and i also read that that you should have around 10000 lumen per plant during budding the 150 watt puts out 16000 lumens and the cfls put out about 2700 lumens each so thats 21400 lumens
