Hey Hempie... know you loved my assassinate bush thread... Nice plant... How many Watts are the CFL... I count 7 are there more on top?
Im growing with CFL's and when I left my plant like 1 inch away from the light it looked exactly like your picture entitled "What?"

You know how many lumens each or what the wattage equiveltcy blabla to an incondesent... you know how the package says real big what it looks like and than small what it is... which is what it is but not the one I want... is this understandable bbabble?

She is a beauty....I am starting to be surprised of the type of plants that are being produced by CFLs...I have been told numerous times that this is a bad method. I guess not eh?:joint:

Did you get that N Deficiency worked out or is it still spreading? From what I've seen N deficiency's like that DO harm bud production. Just a thought, could maybe not be so much an N Deficiency as a lack of rootspace. That fugger is big. Nice job.

276 total watts and if the lumens added up like you are asking it would be 19,200.

im sure she would be bigger if i used an hps but so would the light bill

I'm not so sure about that. If you used a 250W HPS light, you'd spend slightly less on electricity and end up with more lumens (~25,000).

A tradeoff, of course, is that you wouldn't have the current luxury of engulfing your lovely lady with light.

if i were to invest in a hps it would have to be 400w + anything less is pissing in the wind

what way does the buds end up fromm cfls

Do they be soft or hard buds or are they loose or compact id guess the buds would be soft and loose rather than tight an compact i was thinking of tryeing it myself only by the time u add all them cfls up you could just use 1 400w hps
