Hey so I'm nearing the harvest time for my first grow, and I sort of went into it without knowing a bunch. did some research on here, but i am limited by my grow room size (2'x2'x5') and also I am moving soon so I wanted a temp. setup.
Anyways, I ghetto-rigged a hardware store setup and got the strongest CFLs I could from there. So I have 2 plants under 3 100w CFLs. Unfortunately, I think they say that use 18w with an equivalency of a regular 100w bulb. Reading other posts, it seems you guys are using CFLs that are actually 100w of usage, meaning that their output is much greater right? like around 600w output?
I threw away the boxes for the lights, so I don't know the lumen output, is there any way to estimate or compare to other peoples' setups?
All that being said, my plants are looking pretty good, but I think the yield will not be what I expected. In any case, I am supposed to be harvesting around the end of the month. Is there anything I can do towards the end here to increase yield a bit? I will post pics ASAP.
