I think you should ditch the CFL's and get a proper light in, CFL's produce shite in yield and quality, they're not even worth the electric bill to run em unless it's for a few clones/mothers.
You can get 600w magnetic ballasts for around £40 (400w are about £25-£30), bulbs are £12-£15 and a reflector for about another £12-£15.

Intake filter was a wise move but you need to raise it off that floor, it's manky.

The cheap filter is fine for the intake but no good for extraction, you'll pay more in the long run changing the cheap one every other run cos the charcoal is crap and doesn't do the job properly.

Can get professional 5" filters that will last a few years for £50 ish.

There's an old saying......"You've got to speculate to accumulate"......and it's true.


A proper set up grows plants far bigger and faster than with a cheap half arsed CFL set up.
If you're gonna risk your liberty growing weed then you may as well do it right rather than producing popcorn.


My 2 pence worth.
The filter is not on the floor it's on a tray raised of the ground and I haven't done to bad to be honest and it's been top notch smoke

Splitting hairs ffs.

It's close enough to the ground to suck in shit loads of bacteria, the most bacteria and contaminants in a rooms air is in the bottom 2 feet of air space, the higher you go the cleaner it gets.

But that set up looks to be in a filthy cellar, you've got contaminant odds stacked against you.

I haven't done to bad to be honest
Haven't done too bad by what standards? And haven't done too bad considering what parameters?

It looks like exactly what it is, the cheapest/poorest quality set up around.

it's been top notch smoke
No, no it hasn't.
CFL's do not produce top notch smoke, in yield or in quality.

I don't know where the mentality comes from I really don't, especially from the young noobs.
This self entitled "I grow weed and it's fucking awesome cos I think it is" attitude.

It's that mentality coupled with a grow shop on every street corner that's has the market flooded with overpriced shite gear.



Like that cunt the other week with his defoliated first grow, burnt to fuck, wanna-be cola.
Put the facts in front of him and he still swears blind for 3 days that it isn't what we say it is and he's rocking the best shit around.

Scared of a knock to the ego and to learn a thing or two that will set em straight forever more they are.



What they're looking for is folk to blow smoke up their arse and tell em how brilliant they are and that their shit is top notch.

Lust like the mentality that has Mummy and Daddy telling those "gender neutral" kids what special snowflakes they are and that they can be whatever they want to be.

And I'll help.

I'm honest and tell it how it is, I don't sugar coat anything.

I feel bad for you and your scoring situation if it's that terrible.

That's the state of affairs though, everybody thinks they can grow and everybody thinks they can grow quality and that's it's worth whatever they want to charge for it (£200+ per oz mostly).

It's a fucking joke man.

iv got other posts on here sayin this is my last cfl grow.
I know, I saw it.

I love it, I really do.

I fucking love it when 6-7 weeks 12/12 under 1800w looks like 2 weeks under 400w. :roll:
