THE CFG CLUB(the club for growing under compact fluors!!!)

[bobburn]

Probably not--what are the wattages? If you just want to grow the main colas on each you might be able to use 2 lights per plant..but I'd recommend 3-42w per plants minimum, however 1x105w and 2x42w (or even better, 2x85w) per plant will yield better results.

But you'll likely lose one or two of them during sexing (males/hermies), so you might end up with adequate lighting.

yeah if not 3 lol.... last time they were both males GRR!!!!!!! 8x 23 watts 1600 lumens each.

im all about the cfl's for a lot of reasons. i am about a month into flower on my first grow using nothing but cfl's all the way through. and id say my plant looks damn good for cfl's and even better for a first time grow haha. but yeah i have a total of 5 right now a 42w cool a 42w warm and 3 23w warms my plant loves them. hps just produce too much heat for my little grow space. everyone check out my journel and tell me what u think

 

[bobburn]

8x23w...those will be alright for side lighting but for flowering you want a single point (one bulb) per plant with at least 6k lumens (a 105w bulb) to help shape those colas. 23w bulbs will give you airy, small, popcorn buds.

Do yourself a favor, go to 1000-Bulbs and pick up 2 85w red spectrum (2700-3000k) bulbs for $21 each (they don't have any 105w+..you can go to SH Hydroponics and buy a couple 105w 2700k lights, but they over charge @$39 per light)

I'm in, i only have 2 CFL's right now since my buget is nonexistent. I only have two plants, one small, and one just planted so it works for right now.

Hey, guys looking for some input here, I was at costco the today and I bought some CFL, I'm using an aero garden, i'm looking to add some side lights when I get to vegging. I bought 1600 lumens 100w mercury based lights... would this work... I don't see anything on the box about white vs warm light... For all I know these might just be the wrong ones... I got them to switch out in my house. But thought I would see if they were usable with my AG

 

[kushmonster]

what good wit ya all??? Strictly CFL grower here, How do I get a memberhip???lol just harvested my 1 plant, other 1 still has a few weeks left

 

[Kindbuds262]

for a CFL club i dont see enough pics of prize buds..

 

[RedEyeJedi87]

dude use an hps it will take only 1 week to get your 10" plants so you can flower, your making a club for a light bulb?

its just like making a club for those old ass floppy disks and using them when everyone else is burnin rubber using cd's

HAHA... or the members only club

 

[boricuaboi]

dude its basically a support group u that guest can be quite ur a hole hps vegging is a bad ideal it fucking stunts growth be quiet learn something white your here

 

[swak one]

Hey guy, i really like this idea of a club, especially since im on a tight budget and thinking bout buying CFL's. It would be great if someone could help me tho. Im growing i skunk plant. Its looking healthy in a pot and growing outside. Shes just 3 weeks old. However i wanna bring her inside when she starts to bud cuz i know ppl gonna be picking off my tree where i live. Can she still produce nice sticky buds with CFLs and what wattage and how many do I need?

 

[RedEyeJedi87]

cfl's actually do work good for veg.. but not that great for flowering

 

[boricuaboi]

Thats not ture anyways this thread has been hacked its for cfl growers

posts and pic's not for false flaggers and people who hate on cfls

 

[Shredder111]

C.f.l's will produce looser buds than hps or metal halide. It's just simple science, not hate.

 

[boricuaboi]

dude thats not true! i have both i think u need to look at some cfl heros

 

[jskrill]

cfls are great for replaceing my home light bulbs so i can use my hps lights to do real growing

yessir he,s right ha haaaaaaaaaa
