I used to grow with nothing but cfls
i was always happy with my buds
as far as being nice and dense.
I'm no expert, nor do i have a major
grow op. I started growing for one reason
so i never had to deal with buying weed again.
That being said, it seemed like i always
had to buy weed between harvests.
My cfl grown plants never had the overall
weight to get me from harvest to harvest.
As i said, my op is very small. For a lot of
reasons, i only flower 2 plants at any one
time under T5s and 42w cfls. I'd get decent grows,
but nothing over 2oz/plant.
More like 2-2.5oz between 2 plants.
I decided to try to go perpetual.
I figured the fastest way to get there was to flower with hps.
I still veg with T5/cfls but i set up a new flower room
with a 250w hps to flower under.
That one change, albeit a big change
took me from 2-2.5oz per grow, to anywhere
from 5-7oz per grow.
This is in no way a knock on cfls, as i still use them for veg,
and thinking of using a few in flowering.
I'm sure with a few changes, i could of
gotten better weight results with cfls, but with hps, basically,
if you've got a few cfl grows under
your belt, and have an idea of what you're
doing, without much trouble, you can
really increase your yields.
Density also will never again be an issue for me.
Peace
Decided to start again and keep it 'simple' just a couple of plants under CFL's.
