    How low does CFL make your yield

    I wouldn't get your expectations because its better to set a low goal and surpass it than set a high goal and not reach it up. Minimum plan for like an oz a plant but if all goes well I don't see why you couldn't be getting like 2 or 3oz a plant, maybe even more. Going year round has the...

    first time indoor grow with cfls looking for advice

    Light is just one of many variables that will determine yield. There are many things you can do to increase yield. Longer veg will increase yield so will LST/topping, large pots, more lights etc. There are a ton of things you can do to get that number up. Your strain will also play a part in how...

    How low does CFL make your yield

    Your yield should be decent especially because of lst and and topping. If you are not going all year round then a mother clone setup does not really carry too many advantages. When using cfls remember to keep the lights close. As for figuring out how much light you need read purpdaddy's post the...

    first time indoor grow with cfls looking for advice

    Don't quote me on any of this since I am not that experienced(still in first grow). Well its hard to say when to flower exactly in terms of time. Remember plants can double and even triple in size during flowering. So wait till your plants are a 1/3 to 1/2 of your max size allowance and then...

    Its been 32 hours or so since I began germination, none of the seeds have 'popped' but all have starting opening up a hole on one end so I am hopeful that they will all germinate.

    Converting 6 light fixture to 4 light

    Hey, I have a bathroom vanity fixture(6 lights long). This was perfect for my original plan but things have changed. I want to convert it to a 4 light fixture. If I cut off the 2 end lights and just cap the loose white and black wires will the other 4 lights still work?

    Nice journal so far, looking good. As for making fem seeds there are a couple tutorials on here about making your own silver from old coins using an electrical current(I forget the term for this process-learned it a long time ago in high school chemistry). Seeems pretty simple though.

    CFL Auto Closet Budget Grow

    Well right now I only have six lights up and running. I started germ today using paper towel method so we will see! Out of curiosity, as I will eventually need to construct a grow box. If I put an intake/outake in my closet door would that work? Essentially using my closet as the box?

    Percentage of people who end up with some type of bug problem

    Definitely, my original question is like asking, percentage of people who ride a bicycle end up with a flat tire, if you ride a bike long enough eventually you will get one. I was just curious because was not sure if it was one of those problem that just seems more frequent than it really...

Or maybe a 6 lighter on the...
