So im in the final weeks of my last grow for the year taking the summer off to enjoy my harvest and work as much as possible. I'll be back after the summer with some new girls but i wanted to just give my experieences using cfl's for growing.

Pro's: low start up cost you can start a cfl grow with only 2 or 3 then buy more as the plant grows. also the light are much more versitile as in some if the pics you can have them hanging all around you plants with no worry of burning. When you start new plants you can use the extra bulbs to save on you house electric bill. Nce Sized Buds
Cons: In the end its more expensive I spent 40 dollars on just hte bulbs and for 60 i could of got a HID. There is no heat advantage when running 12 bulbs intead of one. Difficult to set up a lot of lights on the same cord and hang it.
