Looking very good girldatgrows, that is just awesome work! I am really surprised with the results of CFL's. Just goes to show that if you have enough light, you can grow anything;)

Aurora Indica From Nirvana, Vegged for 5 weeks, flowered for 9.5, just blazing it down now tho, its all curing and enjoying its place in my lungs also, and the lungs of many a friend.
12 Bulbs, 10 at hot times, with 2 42 watt cfls, and 10 26 watt cfls, total of approx 344 actual wattage and just under 30000 lumens pumpin thru this box



Throughout whole grow had to move my lights around my box to fit the plants, not gonna show that itll take you years to read
Plant 1 (Purple Phenotype, main cola)

Plant 2 (Orange Pheno, Fatter Buds and Fruitier Smell)(Plant 2 is on the right, plant 1 on left)

This pic ^^^^ was like 30 days into flowering i think>? maybe 40? cant remember, but you can see one of the sockets has no light (cause it gets hot up here in souther ontario summers boy can i tell you)

No Relector, Unless mylar counts, in which case i used 2 mm reg hydro mylar, (30$ for 25 x 3 sq F, total of 75 sq feet)
(inside of top box)
Yeah i know my box is probably the ugliest thing ever, and who gives a shit? wait till you see this picture, it proves aesthetics don't mean shit, although i do believe in a clean ass grow, but who cares about ugly haggard makshift shit? not me thats for sure. I do now, im making a PURE stealth hps and cfl grow in a gigantic stealth cabinet, cant wait.

Heres the yield boys, Total dry weight = 287 Grams, Or 10.1 Ounces, From 2 plants, in a 4 foot high rubbermaid grow, with 12 cfls on at the most. and mad fans
i wont go into my nutes but im a heavy fan of molasses, indoors of course.

Thats Plant 2(left),Plant 1 (Right) and the rest of plant 2 is hanging here

And the king bud, weighed 125 wet, turned out to be 39.2 dry, not bad.

(That scale is 6'' x 6'')
The only hand gesture that can come close to describing my feelings.

That was just the second plant harvested, heres the first

Plant 1 at like 48 days flowering,

I got a "clean grow" goin right now from seed to flower usin cfls but im gonna do like the last 2 or 3 weeks under a HPS bulb cuz im gettin all kindsa sweet shit in the next couple days. But if you wanna see some pics....they are about 2 n a half weeks into flower in these pics so bare with me here..
















almost 3 wks into flowering, 2 unidentified indica females, with a setup of almost 500w of CFL over top of them - a mix of the blue daylight CFLs and mostly a bunch of orange glow sunlight CFLs right now. Also have a couple 4ft walmart plant n aquarium bulbs happenin, but they dont do much.

Guys, it's lovely when you post pics, but please remember to include the information for the contest. Comon nemad, I mean those are some dank looking nugs of nugs, you gotta let us know how you did it!!!!!
whell i have nothing much to say. im growing with 40w + 20w + 20w 2700k CFLs on top on top and 20w 2700k CFL on side.

im using reflectors. thats very important.

i were flowering smallest bud about ~2 months (bit less) and biggest bud about 20 days more.

as you can see im growing in soil. soil had flowering nutes in it.

i were adding 10-57-10 blooming nutes for all plants, but the biggest plant got molasses for about 20 days. that really helped to increase yeild.

3-5 inches away using both lights to veg and flower
my bad maybe its 65 watt
65 watt 6500K - 500 watt eqivelent
42 watt 2700K - 150 watt eqivelent

just finished and don't have a scale but its probably around 1 oz dry? Maybe less? personal so don't care cause its good smoke! First Hydro grow so I will be switching it up for my second with a home made DWC.

I'll jump in on this when I can get pictures.

I've got my first CFL grow going right now. From seed to plant. Biggest is about 3.5-4 inches tall.

I'm using 4x 25watt CFLs and 2x 18watt CFLs.


lol Shredder has 420 post count...!

So, you just kept the lights on top of the plant or did you leave one on the side? What was your photoperiod for veg.??? I am friggen' impressed!!! Haha, I didn't even notice the 420 count. I swear that whenever I look to see the time, randomly, it's usually exactly 4:20. This has happened to me at least 6 times. I have to break the silence though, funny stuff.

Correct I just had the 6500k on top and the 2700k on one side and just kept rotating the plant 90 degrees every 2 days. I honestly think that using the 6500k really helped "fillout" the buds when flowering with cfls. In my opinion if you want a short plant fast veg for 18-6 so that it is just a little spaced out nodes wise until 7". If you plan to veg for a while use a 24-0 cycle. I only veged for 4 weeks total including the 2 weeks it took for the clone to root.

baz i like that sativa under the cfls, it looks like its doing quite well, and to many a suprise (even my own) that was my honest first time growing, the only other time i grew my mom killed my plant i had in a windowsill as a joke, it was like 6 inches tall, now she doesnt care about it, shit i gave her some shes down with the crown now, she understands its value and has gotten over everything else, and thanks for all the comments and compliments to the grow, i love smoking it, it feels so good to smoke your child of 4 months.

I love cfls but i know what i could do with an hps so im gonna mix em up next grow with a big stealth cab,
The only reason i would say i yielded so much is i was patient enough to learn every aspect of basic growing and most of advanced shit for 2 years, just reading and studying up and waiting till i had the balls, and i finally did it, and it looks like knowledge pays off. All of my friends are gettin me to teach them to grow its quite funny, i never thought id ever be blowing clouds of such quality that are my own like i am.
