Advantage V. disadvantage CFL's

...Tanuvan, I thought I was making it clear that the buds were good with cfl, so not sure why your panties are wadded up so tight. Never said the technology was poor eighther so not sure how you got that. I don't think there is anything at all wrong with floros, but I will not rule out one of two small hps lamps when it can be cooled along side a 42 watt cfl np.

I don't recall quoting you...why the personal attack? That statement was a general statement to those who post in this thread and other threads who continually dispute the fact that you can get a few ounces per plant from CFL even though there is a BOOK out on how to go about it. And to those who complain that CFL buds are airy.

Apparently if the shoe fits... but I wasn't singling out any one individual...if I was, it would be quoted like I have done here.

Tanuvan, sorry for the misread. Lastfrontier, I think it's a cool hood and results speak for themselves. You don't strike me as a dumb ass and I am not trying to be overcritical of your setup. Good luck with your grows and like others here would like to see some pictures of your harvest. If you post up a start to finish then I will too, with my 2 70 watt hps and cfls. I am glad to find a replacement forum for overgrow RIP. We are all here for the same purpose, right? My main comment is that small hps lamps in the range of 50 to 150 watts should not be ruled out of a micro grow. A 70 watt hps has an 8 inch penetration, so I position the hps to the middle of screen and surround the outer paremeter with cfl.

Like so.

i am getting ready to grow 2 plants right now ak47 and a polio strand both mild producers but great and potent for my self i like the polio it creats clumpy buds a single stock plant tho it seems to do better if i dont pinch it i will post some pics when i move because i want to do a 10 plant grow i do like your pics it is a nice set up my plants are not under the light right now they are on my computer stand i am wating i like to keep strands i just cut and clone as needed with very little light grown as a house plant they slow way down currently i have 12 live strands i will start again when i move my freezer is full right now so there is no need soon i will post some pics

Hey lastfrontier I am looking forward to pics from you, you can see my brand new from scratch dirt moms/hempy clones CFL grow here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/69259-my-hempy-top-44-cfl.html

would love to hear your comments

Peace

if you goto icmag.com/ic and goto micro section, there is this amazing
guy named Dr.greenbudgenes. he had this small kitchen cabinet with buncha soda bottles ( not 2liter, but the small bottle) and he ahd like 200 sumthing watts and he pulls like 3oz every week. if u r interested

check this thread out: International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - Compact SOG with CFL's

and his most recent work: International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - ***DrBud Takes CFL SOG to the Next Level***
im using 1000watt hps and all the electric and heat is an constant issue to keep in mind, so i was thinking about setting up sumthing similar to that CFL box.

I also think hps is definately superior to CFL's but CFL's do produce amazing buds. If you were growing many big plants, CFL is a nono, but a small sog with realistic numbers for people who is looking for personal smoke with "few extra" zips, i think CFL would be your best bet. i dunno, that massive kief bong hit just got me madddddd baked lol.

wow i just read this entire thread! Very informative since I am growing using cfl's. rock on!

i guess he still doesn't like periods or double spaces or any thing. What ever.

how may grams should I expect for every watt of CFL ?

I only plan on doing 6-10 plants for my first grow....positive thinking lets say I get to a harvest on my 1st run, can I use the 4ft 8 bulb T5 threw the whole grow? I thought I would do the 6500k for veging and swap to the 3000k for floring........I am not slanging the shit so i thought the t5 would yield me plenty....sorry about the tangent, thanks for advice

why does hps need ballast ????

can any 1 help im thinking of growing using 2 black waste bins one on top of the other upside down im not sure how many cfls to use or how many watts they should be im thinking of growing 2 or 3 plants

cfls all the way

ok. i finally got the perfect space to set up for grow.....i just bought a new house with a basement and i am really REALLY fucking excited...but this is going to be my very first growe ever and i am a bit naieve to this whole thing. I kind of want to do the "I GROW CHRONIC" set up that is posted on you-tube, but is that a ligitament set up or what???? also .......my base ment, which is at ground level, has a window that is some what secluded that opens and shuts and locks very well..... but here is the thing. this window is the ONLY inside/outside ventilation that the basement has...the washer and dryer are also down there and the dryer hose is not leading outside...instead, the lint from the dryer is just basically being blown into a freakin bucket...... so what are my options if i want to seal off the window completely from the outside world which would only then limit my options for any free flowing air i might want or need in order for my plant to live......right???? WHAT DO I DO????

Yeah On3tim3OnLy they suck so bad no-one shud use them at all. There should not even be a CFL forum. We are all wasting our time. Only you know how to grow weeds. We will never have a harvest using cfls...darn.

If you're not going to be helpful SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
All you do is criticize people.

Wow lol you still trying to get the work out FAGGOT GO MAKE THAT THREAD

just do what works for you... i think some of yall needa focus more on smokin trees than growing them.

whoa... well, im doing a cfl grow.. for personal use.. bout 8plants going in a rubbermaid.. i don't except alot, but i will post my results.
