cfl is crap compared to hps, i started off with cfl now use hps n ill never go back

 

[tellno1]

I would recommend doing a test with the lights on and take some temps after 6 hours.. to make sure its not too hot , you didnt mention a fan?

happy growin

 

[pinkmohawkpunkgurl]

Yea hps lights or even hid lights would be nice but can't afford the cost of lights or the electricity. Ill work with cfl a couple times and gotten good results. Potent buds and fairly good amount. I usually grow 1 to 2 plants. A small grow for me and my girl to smoke. And thanx tellno1 for reminding me about the fan. I was high when I wrote the original post. It does get hot in the closet but I have a small desk fan hanging of the light and I am thinking about getting another one for the other side. I am also planing to use homemade carbon dioxide tutorial. I found which consist of a small bottle with water + yeast and sugar for co2.

You are going to need some extraction. Blowing hot air around doesn't help.
You sound in a similar situation to me. Just grow for me and g/f, total stealth in a small space.
I'm running a 250w (29000 lumens hps flower , 20000 MH veg) u-scrog in a 4wx2dx3h. Pulled over 6 oz dry from the last lot, single plant. The trick is definately good extraction and scrog.
P.s. I was lucky. The light is a security lamp I found in a skip!

Yes, HID is better. We all know that. Is this the CFL section or the CFL Bashing section? Reported this post because you're supposed to be a mod, not a troll.

Reporting should be used responsibly. I run HPS and no CFL. clf IS crap compared to HPS. Report me too.

OK, you win. CFL is crap. We're all idiots for using it. Might as well shut this section down.

Fuck this noise.

1 1000w would toast that.

This has nothing to do with which is the better light. We all know that.

However, this is the CFL section - for discussing CFL lights for those of us that, for whatever reason, don't use HID/LED/whatever.

To come in here and just say "cfl is crap" is trolling. And if moderators are also trolls then fuck this shit.

go look at xP0c journal. Also Concord Dawn..Ipif u wanna see why CFLs DO THE JOB!

Ppl have issues man...idk why they comment when what they're saying is irrelevant..
Its fucking annoying bu you gotta realize some ppl get off in being that way haha..cool out and reach out to the ppl you think would be good to have on your corner! Everyone other than those ppl will soon become irrelevant to me..
everybody and here to learn lol. Some ppl have nothing better to do I guess..
Well i got vagina to my left...weed growing a couple paces away.....and the ambition to become a master...
so I aint t worried about what someone I do t even give one about has to say...

think about it..

its your life haha. You got this

i hate ppl who come here promoting their HPS. well no shit an HPS would be better. a 400w HPS thows out about 50000 lumens, how many 23w cfls at 1600 lumens each is that? a shit ton. when are u guys gonna learn, ppl dont use cfls because theyre the best, or give massive yields. they use them because it accomodates to there situation at that time(mostly space issues). And hey, if u can grow a fair amount of bud with them for your head stash, why not? And dumbasses advising a 1000w HPS. its a 4 sq ft room, your gonna have major heating issues, and fried plants, another reason hps bulbs arent always ideal for the situation

 

[Sincerely420]

Wtf u talking about? I asked homeboy if he had a bad day. You got problem, my pm box is availabe.

Btw: cfl sux, get a damn clue. noob.

Word. U no longer exist to me....and u not worth a pm.

good luck Pink...don't wanna clutter ur thread with irrelevant posts..I'll be around!
i know for a FACT that you got enough CFLs to do some DAMAGE. It's all about the placement bro,
keep them withing 2-3 inches at ALL TIMES around ALL levels of the plants.
also utilize some LST TO KEEP THEM SHORT. CFLs are a no go for tall plants

lets not ruin this thread becuase of one troubled MFer

CFL suxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Give up. The HPS wins.

CFL have advantages (cost & heat) but I don't think anyone would deny that HPS are more effective...so it's not about which one "wins", it's all about growing with what you have, even if they are only 23watt bulbs.

We have this CFL section for those of us who use them for whatever reason we choose....so if you hate CFL's so much, why do you troll in this section?

My guess is that krons is also that type of guy that would troll gay sites trying to convince the boys that pussy is better.
