I second that - I've grown Nice, Resinous Buds under CFL's. I've never been disappointed with bud grown under 100+ watts /sq ft. of CFL light. As always with indoor, you must provide adequate Lumens to get good results. This is also true for any other lighting source used.And don't let anyone tell you that you can't grow with fluoros...
Anyone who says you can't is a shitty grower or hasn't tried it...

Yeah, it all goes to show you CAN get a nice crop using only CFLs They are actually Nearly as efficient as MH/HPS lamps, but not quite, as they lack the intensity. I've used 130w / sq. ft and yielded very good buds. The trick is keeping all those bulbs close to the canopy at all times. The plants respond better if the light comes from 1 powerful source, rather than many weaker ones. We recently got a 400w light system for that reason. If I were still using CFL's, I'd invest in the highest wattage possible an try to give them 100w/sq footSick vid....?
Post some pics of the plants you have in flower right now.aka people who know what they are doing...
Actually, CFL's can work quite well, IF you're a smart grower. Obviously, what I said about lumens per sq/ft flew way over your head. If you were a smart grower you would stop talking about HPS because you would Know that potency /resin production is directly related to intense blue and violet wavelengths NOT present in any HPS spectrum. Can you guess which lamp is best for optimal potency and resin production>? Bet you can't...CFL is for people who are dumb, don't know that you can buy a 150 hps for 30 bucks, or think cfl growing exists in production growing. aka. professionals. aka people who know what they are doing...
Huh dude .. what? Go to bed. wtf vwavelength shit wtf man I grow weed. Its like asking a formula one driver what the ratios are in his gearbox....

LoL- You really don't know shit about growing, do you ? It clearly shows - You're too fucking stupid to grow weed.Huh dude .. what? Go to bed. wtf vwavelength shit wtf man I grow weed. Its like asking a formula one driver what the ratios are in his gearbox.... Fuck your dumb.
K yokel, fine. One sec. wait right here. Then will you go outside and take a break from your computer! Jeez...
Do you also have a time machine that lets you photograph the past? Cuz that pic is from August. Which makes me wonder why you never posted pics of anything you harvested. How'd that harvest go by the way? Did it ever happen?I cant believe im doing this for you.View attachment 3309329
That lighting probably costs more then you make in a quarter Yokel.
***I'm now taking a personal shot at you. At pissing on your poor ass and your pitiful embarrassing family who's probably just as poor and taught you to cry to all the wealthy people about their cfl trouble.
It only takes a few posts to figure those types out.LoL- You really don't know shit about growing, do you ? It clearly shows - You're too fucking stupid to grow weed.
No. 100% guaranteed he comes back and says something like "Those are the only pics I have in flower. I don't have any budding at the moment."Do you also have a time machine that lets you photograph the past? Cuz that pic is from August.

Not using HID because it's too hot in the desert during the summer and not being able to afford them are two different things there, bud.I cant believe im doing this for you.

How are you going to grow with an LED but not know what a wavelength is? That only leaves two options. #1 - You don't own an LED. Or #2 - You really are a shit grower. Which label would you prefer?Huh dude .. what? Go to bed. wtf vwavelength shit wtf man I grow weed. Its like asking a formula one driver what the ratios are in his gearbox.... Fuck your dumb.
I'm retired. What else am I going to do? See the thing is... Good, Experienced growers... we don't come here for advice. We come here to hang out, read, and post pics with a community. I don't need this forum's advice. I have nothing better to do on here than to follow posts by fake growers or people that give bad information.K yokel, fine. One sec. wait right here.

Even though the pic clearly shows a 3 stage perpetual going.
https://www.rollitup.org/t/is-this-the-grouchiest-angry-group-of-people-around-or-what.852874/page-2B. Your amazing comeback is completely timing based. I have zero in flower right now.
I wouldn't consider you an experienced grower based on your posts.I'm retired. What else am I going to do? See the thing is... Good, Experienced growers... we don't come here for advice.

You want to talk about money but can't show a bud you've harvested. I bet I make more in clones every month than your entire harvest of Loch Ness nuggets. Gotta love growing legally...
Having your first indoor grow since college and not knowing how to grow are two completely different things, there buddy. You've seen my results in other threads.I wouldn't consider you an experienced grower based on your posts.

This isn't a garden run by a good, experienced grower. It's a noob garden. You have no business busting someones balls with those skills. Lol.
And I wasn't bashing anyone's grows.I wouldn't consider you an experienced grower based on your posts.
