clean-up on isle 420I just cream-pied my pants
I am using 17 26 watt 2700k cfl's, and 3 26 watt 6500k cfl's for a total of 20 cfl's in a 5ft x 5ft tent with an a/c inside, and an 8" inline exhaust fan with a passive intake. The buds are pretty dense and solid, I don't understand why people get airy buds with cfl's, mine are almost as dense as what i would get at any good pharmacy. The main differences I see using cfl's over HID lamps are that the buds are not as big, and the light doesn't penetrate deep into the plant. But i have found that 2 harvests (top colas, then the undergrowth about 2 weeks later) solves the problem of having a bunch of popcorn buds. They thicken up and swell nice during that time.Very nice buds man. What cfl you using and is yours dense or airy?
Very nice setup bro and i know what you mean with the cfl's. The light pen on cfl do suck but i like to use T5's on the walls in my grow box to get a heavier harvest. Do you use soil or hydro? I personally use Hydro(DWC) and I have got beautiful results and very nice yields just with CFL's and DWC. It really all depends on the setup I think.I am using 17 26 watt 2700k cfl's, and 3 26 watt 6500k cfl's for a total of 20 cfl's in a 5ft x 5ft tent with an a/c inside, and an 8" inline exhaust fan with a passive intake.

I am growing in about 5 gal of Fox Farms Ocean Forest. My last grow stayed to wet, and I got root gnats, so this time i tried something different. I am using old plastic dairy crates that are lined with landscape fabric as my pot. So far it looks loke it is doing what i want it to, but when I am done, the roots will tell the storyVery nice setup bro and i know what you mean with the cfl's.
