CFL, because you wouldn’t start a thread with a title like this if it was anything modern.

No offense those look pretty small. Good but small...

They look about as dense and leafy as what I used to get from the first generation of blurple grow LEDs in about 2012?

Oh I see the OP made another post it's his first grow with cfl. Kudos. It's better looking than my first ever grow was. Nice and frosty just needed more light and it would have been spectacular.

I agree. I think OP would be shocked by how much denser and how much volume they would get with better lights. They did great for a first grow.

Yeah. More light brings a lot more challenge though- Humidity, nutrients, heat, etc... Lot of small grows turn out like this- low weight but good quality because its almost hard to fuck up.

Appreciate all the comments, positive or negative. As some pointed out, was CFLs... I know other lights will produce better bud, but for my first grow, CFLs were the affordable and economic choice for me to start with. I will say that after everything I read here and other forums about CFLs my expectations were set extremely low, so perhaps this is why I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of bud I ended up with, even though as some of you pointed out, isn't anything to be proud of.

Are you insinuating they weren't ready to harvest? 20% trichomes were Amber...they were a day past 9 weeks..maybe you know something I don't? Please explain

You did a lot better than most people on their first try. HPS lights are actually pretty damn cheap especially if you buy a used ballast/hood and put a new bulb in. Or those cute little 150W for 77$ on amazon look like they would be perfect for micro grows.
