Those clamp lights are pretty handy eh? I just picked up two today, but did wiring for the rest of my lights- bit of a pain. Looks like a nice setup.
Happy growing!

There will be more lights for flowering... I have a few more 85W and 42W bulbs for them as they get bigger... they're all plugged into a surge protector, but it's easier to move them around if they aren't all connected together, so I have them draping up into a zip tie so I can adjust the slack as I move the board... I think they'll be fine, there are 3 plants and 425W right now...seriosly are you aiming to flower with those lights,switch or just add more? it might work for you and you might get good buds but its just not working for me so fare with almost the same amount of watts as you have everytime one of my plants gets about six inches tall the leaves start drooping and i believe it might be from not enough light. i moved some of my plants aoutside today to see if theey would perk up in the sun.
Not really... my plan was really to use the CFLs for the savings in heat and power consumption...$26 each? Ouch. I was going to buy 4 of the 6500k, but for $100 the wiser plan would be to just get another ballast + a MH bulb. You find yours somewhere cheaper?
How much more heat are you seeing from the HPS, versus the lumens you're getting?ive allready invested enough cash into my cfl grow that i could of had a low wattage hps grow for the same price. next wek i should be getting two 70w hps lights from home depot.i will use my 2 42w cfls for side lighting.

Here's my new setup... right now I have this setup hanging over top of 2-blueberry and 1-green spirit...
3-85W 6500K
2-85W 2700K
4-26W 6500K
