I also use CFL with my hid and love the combo. You have better results with hid in my opinion.

Oki guys, here we go, first time trying indoors "low cost" grow under CFL's journal.
STRAIN: Fantasmo Express
LIGHT : CFL's 120W 6500K x 2 Philips , and 2 x 120W 2500K Osram.

Great!!!
We are growing together. I have two Fantasmo seedlings, a few days older growing under CFL.

Can you check the actual watts of your CFL lights, are they 120W "equivalent" or actual?
I think companies actually try to make it confusing.

I just check the lumens that seems to make more sense for me the whole watt thing I never know.

For what i have been reading about it, its all about lumens dankstyle J

Its the equivalent amigo.

Good, now I understand.
So each CFL is about 25 watts actual. Perfect for seedlings, and your seedling looks very healthy, I like the mirror, that is fun.

You have 4 CFLs so about 100 watts actual.
That will give about as much light as a 50 watt HPS.
You might want more when your Fantasmo gets bigger. I am using 250 watts actual of CFL, 10 bulbs like yours, and think I need more.

If I have misunderstood then I hope some of the experts will de-cloak from stealth mode and school me.

hahahahaha its all good amigo !!! and like i mention before , its accually more about lumens then watts ...... and for what i being readying over the net, the higher wattage wont nescessarie are the onces with more lumens ..... let me look for that info and ill post it over here to see what do you think ........
Still .... i cant find you Fantasmo Journal ... !
