My name is Andrew Creech, AKA "Humboldt" I`m originally from Humboldt County California. Born and raised. I now reside in central Oregon.
I came to Rollitup years ago in the hopes to learn how to grow marijuana. (boy did I learn) I was short on money so I pursued a CFL grow as it was much cheaper than the High Pressure Sodium (HPS) or Metal (HID) ]and found that it`s much easier to control the environment.
Also I was able to start out small and expand as I did. I took CFL growing to a whole new level. Dubbed: "The King of CFL`S". I was the one who initiated the category "CFL / Fluorescent Lighting" I was also encouraged to write a book about cfl grows, however my health had gotten worse and was AFK for a long while.
In any case somebody had beat me to it, if I remember correctly, the person who wrote a book concerning CFL`s was set on HPS/HID and had dissed those who grew using cfl`s, that is until he read my journal and finally realized that one can have great success with cfl`s with some creativity and is willing to put some effort into it.
For some reason, some images and links are no longer showing/working, however there`s still a lot of useful information and some inspiring images.
I know LED`s are getting very popular these days but can still be quite expensive as far as the equipment goes but still lighter on the electricity bill.
