Bushy seedlings. What sort of light are you using?

You too. It looks like you're using CFLs for lights?

Suh-weet. I think you've read I'm down to a single 2' GE t5 because of two that gave approximately 2500 hours of light. I wish I could recall the name brand so I can continue my debasement of their poopy products. I should have three new GE's come Saturday. There's consideration to put three t5's over my veg plants but I'm not sure if I can handle much more growth in my tent. Maybe just two like I had near the beginning.
On a side note, my spell check recognizes 'poopy' but not 'poopie'. I disagree with spell check. But should I question spell check? I won a spelling bee in my third grade class with 'envelope' so if any sentient being knows spelling, you're looking at him.
Granted. I was going to Riyadh International Community School in the mid-to late 70's. My competition were a smattering of third graders from different countries. My teacher was American so chose English words. Well, see, 'envelope' begins with an 'e' and is pronounced differently in different places. Even in good old American English and bordering predominantly English speaking countries who harbor us no ill will. Four kids ahead of me guessed, in some order, 'envelope' began with an a, i, o, or u. Although I knew how to spell the word, the only letter left was 'e'. I never did get my box of coloring pencil prize.
Another scar is not getting my ice cream after being run over by the ice cream man in Irving.
What were we talking about? Dabs? No thanks. I'm two dabs over the line.

Out of view is a 600w Metal Halide. I will switch to a 600w High Pressure Sodium when I defoliate (~ 2.5 weeks into 12/12 flip)
I have the 12 CFLs in the room mostly for the seedling stage and I move them to the edges and hang them from the rails as you see in that pic just to add overall lumens (and I feel like the hood and the 600w lights don't reach the walls and corners).
Honestly I am not sure if they help or not vs the electricity cost. Would love any feedback.

Confidential wreck shatter.
An update to last night. I got my three new bulbs. Installed and plugged them in. One didn't work. I tried another bulb. Didn't work. In the end it seems as if one of the ballasts went out at the same time the bulbs went dark. I rarely bad mouth products because things happen and bum products are pretty easily replaced. With two early bulb burn outs, one ballast was put together so poorly the bulb kept falling out, one ballast burn out, a 2' t5 light is more like 2'-4" when power is plugged in, I will roll up my sleeves and say Sun Blaze is a horrible product. No matter the customer support at Hydrobuilder, fool me once...
So I'm back to a single t5 until I turn on the flower chamber and pull the photograph only t5 I have in there. Yeah, Sun Blaze can vape my bong water.

I can't comment on good vs. evil (except Sun Blaze is evil) because I have only grown one way. I don't know from efficiency and junk. My 'lectric has gone up about $20 a month with my setup.
