1 month into flowering and relatively small buds. Help?

[Kaendar]

im thinkin about using 3 or 4 26 watt cfls. Im guessing that shud be sufficient for my bonzai plants just judging from other ppls grow boxes here. And anybody got anything particular to tell me about my plants? I have one Alien OG which is the one this thread is concerning, its been flowering for the longest. I also have an Alien Bubba and a G13 x Amnesia Haze.

Sorry dude but that cfl is actual wattage = 105 watts, now if you twist the maths and use non plant specific lightspectrums yer you could say it may have the equivelent light output as a 500watt incandescant.

Ok so lets test this far out claim!!! Put a 500watt incandecant into the mains and blam, your blinded by the light, now put that supposed 500actual wattage!lol! real wattage 105watts in the mains and guess what, it still sucks even for 105watts.

I grow with 2x250watt cfls in red and blue and its barely equivelant to 250watts of hps so go figure??? Those cfl ratings are make believe and involve one inch of penetration let alone a plants worth. If your gona quote that here there are those that are gona say BS!!!!

4x26watt cfls will do but expected yeild would be in the region of 15 to 30 grams max of one plant. Peace

I have a Alien OG ready to finish in a week.... It was flipped when it was just a little bit larger than yours and will probably give an ounce dried.... I can post a pick of where it is at if you would like.. Problem is that it is under 1000w HPS so results may be a little different...

ha! a little different fo sure

15 to 30 grams a plant is fine with me its just personal use

Yer thats if you were lucky, ive seen grows pull under 10grams with cfls dry weight. Personally cfls are crap but will give you growing experience not yeild, we dont all grow for yeild but in the end that will be our ultimate goal.

Make sure cfls are the right rating, colour temp/spectrum and made by a decent company like philips etc crap cheap cfls are not as bright as the exspensive ones and with cfl were talking like a very small cost difference between cheap and quality. Peace
