Has anybody flowered using CFL?? post any pics if so.

[marijuano1]

Im trying to save money and power so im trying to get CFL for flowering. If youve grown a good yield with a certain type of CFL please let me know or recommended CFL's...I know most of you would buy HPS< or MH lights but im broke and thats all i can get. If anybody has any pictures of plants growing buds using CFL please post.

Check out the cfl grow journals my dude. Roseman's got a particularly enlightening thread all about cfls with pics of course.

cfl's will flower ok but not to the full potential, it might take a week or two longer to reach its full trichrome potential

here are some plants that were just some bagseed, this is week five of flowering. this was a couple of grows ago for me. not that big of buds, but good for personal. i have seen some monsters grown with cfl's. but they are far and few between. a good starter set-up though, because there are no reall heat issues and the lights can be right up on the plants so height is a little less of an issue. good luck

the more cfl the better keep them 1-3 inches away and you can only grow small plants with them i start to flower 2 weeks after the first true leaves

I agree, you cant have too many cfls.
One thing fish, if you would let your plants veg a little longer maybe you wouldnt grow such small plants. Add enough cfls and they will get big.​

what r the true leavs

 

[Bnuts1380]

I just finished using CFL's 2,700k for flower get as many as u can

 

[txhomegrown]

The ones that look jagged like MJ leaves, not the first little round ones.

 

[kho20]

the first set of leaves after the cytoldens ( the lil leaves from seed)

 

[hardroc]

the "true" leafs are the second set of leafs, not the first rounded ones, but the second.

 

[SzechwanChicken]

the ones that start looking like "normal" marijuana leaves. typically around the 4th set of leaves you see. i think this is what he means. But that is truly way too early to start flowering on a typical plant. it can depend on how large you want the plant to be...more veg time=bigger plant. Ive done 3 CFL grows successfully so far, and i typically veg for a month (1foot to 1.5feet tall) then begin flowering stage. and it produced killer buds. 1 small J and it mind f*cks me.

 

[Bnuts1380]

Has any1 been successful with cfl's growing seed to harvest skipping the vegg cycle altogether???

 

[kho20]

yep search for 12/12 from seed

 

[candylime12]

i tryrd it and my results sucked ass, my plant were soo small i got one bud from each plant. it wasent much but um wow my plants no shit stood no more than 8 inches tall. But it was some nasty tasteing stuff but man of man was it strong. ummmmm good luck
peace

This is a Diesel Ryder I flowered under CFLs. I think it wold have turned out even better if I had been able to use CFLs the entire time instead of keeping it on my hot and badly lit balcony for a couple of the weeks.

 

[josh b]

yes people produce 1gram per wat using hid's.

also alot of people have used 12/12 from seed and got 1lb per plant.
mind u its best to do this with bagseed or sativa strains.

i am doing 12/12 from 2 weeks veg at 7" and hopeing to get an oz+ per plant using clf's.

I am expanding, and I need to supplement light rather than just use my one HPS. I have been accused of being overpowered on light as I only use one HPS for 2 flowering plants at a time. I veg under CFLs just fine. I was thinking of trying to use only CFLs in a grow room that is 6x8. I am worried about my yield being not what it should though, or if it will be as nice as my HPS light. But like you, I want to save energy costs and not overload my circuit either.

I dunno, I think I will head over and check out the CFL journals as well.
