I'm trying to convert this old freezer of mine into a grow box. Not that hard, really, but I had one question in mind.
400w HPS in an outlet socket adapter, does that scream "Accident waiting to happen"?

Is it necessary to use an HPS for flowering, or can I flower under a 42w CFL?
I don't have room, or money to buy an HPS or a ballast.

CFL's don't have much output and depth penetration. They will flower based on the 12/12 light schedule but the buds will not be as good as growing under an HPS or direct sunlight for that matter.
