In my opinion - cfls are only good for seedlings and young veg. Plants grow slow as fuck under cfls. You already need to veg for a long time as is.
A 250w hps and an extractor fan would only run you about £5 per week.

yeh il sort it out then,
its a 45 litre post ive got so nrly a full sack of 50 litre coco is going in lmao hope its true the plants grows bigger the bigger the pot!
il veg under the 250 hps then flower under the 600
can i do autos the same way? veg the flower?
I have read somewhere that those plug-in readers are not very accurate when it comes to measuring HPS power, due to the way the lights work. I had it explained to me, but I was only half-listening lol. Something about "power factors" or something, i think.

the only thing putting me off with the 250 is that it s a big white box with mirrored reflectors in with ballast built in with a vent for cooling so its rather heavey and i dont fancy hanging it on yo yo from pulgs in a platerboard ceiling il have to get upto the attick hang rope round a rafter
cant belive im having to doo this im so fukin pissed off but if the worst happened 1 plant is fuk all int it

The grammar used would dictate that it is still vegging. That plant is heavily into flower
It is black sour bubble crossed with casey jones. I've no real idea how long it was vegged for, i just let it go until the flowering cab was empty

Thing with the cfls or blue cfls like i use, the plants dont strech atall really i veg for like 4-5 weeks with my big plants and they only get to like 12-14" tall but have like maybe 10-12 sets of nodes which means 20-24 side colas which means more bud, veg under a hps for 4-5 weeks your gunna end up with a huge plant with probs the same amount side colas just more streched out which means everythin low down on the streched out plant doesnt get as much light an you end up with popcorn. with the cfls veg once you flip the plant streches out and you end up with a nice xmas shape plant with a nice main cola. thats what i noticed anyway when i vegged with my 600 hps last grow was my worst yield the plants got big that quick you have to flip if you ant got space, but you havent got enough colas to yield good.
the g13 i did got 8oz 5week veg in 11L standed pot, and the Blues cheeses 5 an a 6oz of them with a 4week veg in a 10L airpot usin blue cfls, 90W per plant

Teehee. Thi forum so frequently give me hours of endless amusement. I've just been hcatting with some fellow who thinks he ears more as a janitor than growing weed and the only reason people grow weed is because their criminal record won't get them a normal job. Tell that to cheddar and his 80 ounces and trip to the sunshine
As much as we all hate em, imagine how dull the world would be without americans :

You're missing the point though. The fellow was insinuating that the vast majority of people who grow and sell cannabis aer doing it because it is their only option, not because it's damn easy money :d as i say, entertaining, damn, makes me want to go and up my criminal record just to limit me to growing weed

Rofl ttt i nearly pissed myself readin that bru i work dam hard and more than any of you s might think im on price work anf before the recession i could easily clear a g in 5 days but as soon as it kicked in it dwindled to half of that atleast ! Last year i did 2 months without a break and towards the end of the first month i did really wonder why i was doin it but tbf i love my job and could nt give it up and we as a company need to hit targets to be successful in this trade so gettin out of bed to keep your job is the only way forward i could easily hang up my tools and just grow i could quite easily fill houses for organised crime and sum big boys but thats another story ! The only reason i grow is because i enjoy and love watchin them grow and feeling at 1 with them its like a place were i can go chill on me tod and av peace and it makes me feel a live ! You ve probley heard or do yourself talk to your plants and believe me i like nothin more than sittin in a middle of a room full to the brim of cheese and talkin to my ladies knowin they aint gonna talk back bit listen as i tell them they are amazin but could do with growing a little more haha!!Teehee.
