The benchmark for cfls is half a gram a watt per 4 week veg flower cycle. Hps is more like a gram a watt and leds probably like ten grams a watt if you believe all the hype :-)

Shorten the veg time and maximize your cfls :-)
i've actually done that, the new one is at 6 weeks veg till it showed its sex, then strait to the closet which is 12/12 already.WP_20170305_003[1].jpg

outside right before i put it in the closet, don't mind the bug it left, glad its a girl though makes for a nother beautiful plant

I'm a first time grower. I went through the basic rookies mistakes: over nuting and stupid watering. Heading into week 3 of flower, 6-23watt cfls on some bag seed. How bad is it? Any estimates on yield?

6 week veg (i think?) 200watts, 9 weeks flowering under 330w with just ocean forrest & big bloom lmao, I forgot the yield, something like 2-2.5 zips dry? Crazy defs and too much stretch for me lol. Never again
