16,000 lumens of CFLs v. HPS (cost comparison)

60 bucks can make you a much bigger box and a couple of fans. IMHO

I couldn't agree more. Instead of trying to make the MJ grow in a shoebox, build yourself a real grow area and grow it right.

4 ft tall isn't enough room to do the job right.

One 65 watt cfl with 4200 lumens (65 lumens per watt) is $24.95... a 95 watt cfl with 8900 lumens (94 lumens per watt) is $50.54... a 125 watt cfl with 9500 lumens (76 lumens per watt) 52.00 on ebay. 200 watt cfl's are out there, but I've never used them...

I just found all these on google...B
