I think the trick with cfl is small plants so you can keep them close to the light. LST training with indicas worked for me.

I have a question for yahs. I recently just finished my first harvest. I did Nirvana Short Rider under a 250 and my buds are fluffy and not the hard nuggets I was hoping for. What would cause it to be fluffy? Is it genetics, did I harvest too early or do I need a bigger light? I am very pleased with the high and the taste, don't get me wrong but I just want them hard nuggets I usually get from my guy. Do you guys get the hard nuggets with the 250? I am hoping it is genetics. heh

frosted like that i wouldnt care nah haha it can be alot of reason why your getting fluffy buds most likely strain you gotta remember you got to have that light as close as possible i stay within 4-7 inches due to heat issues.. try running some cfl's along your hps and some more light could help a bit.. or look for rock hard bud strains there tons out there...hydro can help with that too lol.. but ive ran soil all my 250w grows have my experience with fluffy buds still so with such a small light your gonna get it "anything more than 12 inches away from light IMO with a 250 should be lollipopped this is what i do to increaase my yield in the the top parts of my plants with better light penetration i will take off w/e doesnt look like it will do anything below"..

just my 2 cetns works for me..:mrgreen:

She was grown in an aerogarden. I have a few plants still going in soil and they're LSTd and much smaller. I hope they come out better.

Think its gonna be a winner this time. Got 2.5 gallon water jugs for pots, 6 plants, think Im gonna havta throw a few more in too, having a hard time picking a pheno! Little less then a 2x2 foot box. Gonna flip the lights at about 10 inches tall. Had a hard time getting everybody the same height cus they were different ages. Some have had alot of topping. Some only pinched once. Its like a SCROG without the screen. I let the LA confidential get way taller then others, now I regret it cus I was just guessing it wont stretch from what Ive read, and I wanna make sure I get as much of it as I can cus I think its my best strain.

I also am growing a cut I was given of Orange Crush, and I have White Widow, a purple indica (actually 3 phenos I still needa choose one) a seedling of Green Crack I dont think is gonna make the cut but Im givving one more chance and Super Skunk that turned purple last time.

This is my scrog... this is my second attempt and that was a disaster too...
Im nearly 9 weeks but my temp have been super low..
I thinking of adding another 250w under the same reflector and have mh and hps running at the same time...
Anyone try this yet...?
