That would be an efficient alternative. I'm gonna have to look into that. It's weird for me. My room stays about 65-80 degrees but my tent never drops to lower then 75. Even with the temps getting down to 65 it stills stays warm. I currently have a 6" booster for fresh and a 6" vortex on a speed controller for exhaust. Any ideas in how to keep it cooler? I have a 6 bulb t5 fixture with two 2' 4 bulb t5 fixtures. Totaling in at about 540 actuAl watts.

Depends in the sq ft if your area, how much actual watts you have of cfls and also how close you keep them. Quality wise you will be good but you do lose some density.

I guess I should of said that differently. Maybe not density but overall size. My cfl grows came out awesome. But compared to this hps they are quite a lot smaller. Like you though, I have nothing bad to say about cfls.

I'm sorry to hear that. Seeing your last indoor grow you should have no problems. Itsucks growing outdoors because you are dependent in the weather. I can't wait to see what you do with that big light.
