short plants too, loool. I grow with HPS and everything bud, that not are attached to principal branch, i remove it (popcorn). i just let the tops of the secondary branches.
My bulb was only £35 with reflector as far as I k know a hid would cost me 80 or more with ballast and reflector, I have used them before just need to know if it can be done with cfl and if I should get a couple more bulbs for the sides our plants.
You will be MUCH better with an HID. I would go the extra mile and get one.
In stoners calculation the 45 pounds difference should be more than covered by the extra yield you'll get if it will be over ~4 grams. And I honestly believe it will.
