cfl's are fine for vegging, but you need a hps for flowering

CFLs are fine for vegging and flowering, but a HPS will yield better.

oh yes they do. metal halide i heard is better for veg but i still use HPS. conversion bulbs are expensive and all i have is the HPS ballast.

Here's the 150 watt HPS. They have no $20 ones any more, but the $25 ones are pretty much the same.

These lights are a great deal. It's just a shame that people in the UK (ie: me) can't get a decent deal like this on HPS lights.
