Have to give Tortured Soul some reps for the schooling... but I can't until I spread the love... but I suspect educating some is about the same as Sysiphus rolling the rock back up the hill.
Having just switched from about 600 watts of CFLs to a 600 watt HPS... I feel I can comment on the topic... it is about twice as bright, and has most definitely caused the plants to fill out.
My plants did great in veg under the CFLs, lots of branching - maybe because I was able to hang the CFLs all around them... but once flowering time came, things were really slow until the 600 HPS came on line.
I've seen a few good CFL grows on here, and one really good T-5 grow, but most just seem to have airy buds that don't really fill out.
