Adding cheap lighting for flowering?

[Bomber420]

Hi all , I'm about 2 weeks away from flowering and enjoying my new hobby to the fullest ,, here's my situation I have a 11'x10'x7'tall grow room and two 1k watt lights with 20 plants and I'm wondering if by adding a bunch of CFl's or fluorescent would help yield any more ??

If ur canopy is crowded and light is limited underneath U only have 2 real choices

1. remove all lower limb buds[popcorn buds] and stick with HPS

or

2. Add CFL for a Bit more yield from those popcorn buds, as the cfl wont really be helping the main colas much.

I would definatly go with this Idea.
I assume the 1000ks are hps so a few mh raze will help much better than cfls
just MHO

I use both led & cfl's to increase square feet of my hps/mh..cfl are great for veg at 5500k+ too.
