just wondering how long does it take for buds to start showing with 13 watt cfls over it. The 2 females are starting to show white pistols now they both have been flowering for about 2 weeks

if you have about 15 of them for each plant you could probably see flowers in a few weeks.i used 5 13 watters last year to veg one plant and it worked but was slow.

its not,he pulling your leg.maybe 3 43 watters,but the 13 only put out 850 lumens so that 2500 lumens,and that is not close to enough,or else he used the sun as well or he had something else.

no when i bought my 13 watters they were 1250 lumens each man??? is that make a diff

 

[JDawg701]

u seem to no ur shit so how much lumens would do the trick using cfls??

 

[trapper]

ive never seen any 13 watters in the right spectrum more then 900,but maybe they are out their,10,000 lumens i find is the least amount you want for flowering,but i find the intencity given out by 10,000 hps lumens and 10,000 cfl lumens to be differant,but i wouldnt go less then 10,000 even a little more.

how many of them are you using?

 

[JDawg701]

im using actually 4 13 watters the bigger ones

 

[mastakoosh]

if you can get a couple of 42 watters. that will help a little.

wow that is not nearly enough,by the time you bye 15 13 watters per plant and sockets and keep moveing them around you would be better off getting the 42 watter or at least the 27.

I really dont know why somone would use 13 watt CFL's When Home Depot sells 42 watt CFL's in both spectrums. And they will produce far better yields than 13 watt. But if your looking for topline CFL's try these 85watt Spectrum ll for this link. I use 3 for grow & bud in a 4x8x6 room with 10 plants. I have use these lights for almost 2 years now with A+ results.
