What are they just CFLs?

no they are regular t12 40 watt flos that are spectrum asjusted to simulate real sunlight. from what ive heard they have really updated the flos and cfls for growing. they still are on the weak side for flowering but they are getting better for over all growth. they used to just coat them to get on the blue end of the spectrum ,but they have now did some adjustments to make them more sun simulated. nothing beats hid and hps.
