If you're going to grow you might as well do it well. With cfl lights you're just not going to produce what you could with an HPS. Weight wise & potency wise a cfl just can't stack to what an hps can. Like the other man said, you can get an hps for a good price and $170 isn't too bad.

If it has trichs on it yeah, if not there's no point in bothering. Congrats on the harvest, sometimes quality is more important than quantity, but boy when quantity comes with the quality.... oh happy day happy days!!
The words best and cheap don't really go together with growing, you get what you put into it.
CFL'a can yield results, but they are too much a pain in the ass and in my opinion are better when used with a HID light like HPS or MH. Like I said it does get results, but there is a difference between results and good results. As far as wattage, you're pretty much going to be using the same amount as a HID to get results. So might as well save some money and time and just put in a good amount of funds into your grow from the start.
If you are going to use CFL's they're good for clones or small veg cabs, but at the same point T5's are better. I tried the CFL route and wasn't impressed, so now they are used as supplemental lighting.

Yea I hate bad info bro. I'm glad u didn't take that the wrong way. Now they may get more hollow when they're almost done, I can't say that's wrong, but idk how anyone could tell/check its more hollow. That's why we all love HUGE stems. The bigger the stem, the bigger that hole to deliver water/nutes to the plant easier and faster.

Those are some excellent plants Green Grower 14. So are they a certain strain or bag seed or ...? Oh and Natureal Finest. I don't even know how you can read any of that on the deficiency Calender. It all seems like a blur to me.

Oh .. my .. that is some fine bud, indeed. Jack Herer heh? That just looks fabulous. The bud structure is just perfect. Big ... puffy .. trich covered buds, just the way every bud should be.

Could be a deficiency, but more likely heat issues or lockout. If it's happening to only to the tops that are under the light most it's probably heat. Keep us updated.

yea im thinking its a heat prob i kinda maxed out my grow space when the bubba stretch 18 inches when i flipped it to 12/12. but its wierd the colas that are the furthest from the lamp are the ones with the rust colored spot if u look at my post its in pic 4 that cola is probably a good 6 to 8 inches from the lamp lol but i dont think imma worry about it im gonna be flushing soon anyway its day 50 and from what ive seen people harvest the kush around 56 to 60.
