you don't like it then don't reply

just want to know how normal fluoro lights shape up to the expensive uv ones

It's no where near the same. It's worth it in the longrun to invest and get yourself some proper HPS lights.

THe 2 don't emit the same kind of light, fluoros are good for seedlings, but then switch to HPS for vegetation and harvest
