my friend has a 3 foot plant under 1 2300k 45 watt cfl its in week 6 of flowering and it looks just like any other dank plant i hate him i cant believe its so nice under 1 fucking light.take out that tin foil that is creating hotspots and invest in a metal halide 250w with shade, your cfl's are naff and very poor at emitting the light spectrum your plants need ...............good luck
as for me i found all my cfls lying around the whole point of me growing is because i have no money and i want money
, my next grow i will invest in a metal halide and a HPS ligt

TIN FOIIIIIIIIIIIIIILL!!!!!!RIP IT OUT!!!!! dood....NO beino.
take any 1....NO ALL of these tips and put em to werk, xcept the MH 1, sorry, but just get an hps, they werk just as good, if not better, becuase u can use it throo veg and flower. I DO. the globes GOTTA go, get to kno ur lil girls (hopefully.im a opptamist) they will give the love back in the long run! i promise that. go to ur local hydro/gardening store, get sum super thrive ($6) sum cloning gel/powder ($5) tart em on the super thrive. 1 drop=1 gallon mind you. then top, and clone, check sum of the cloning threads on here. then just put 1 red spectum cfl over the clone (after rooted) and flower it. see if they r girlys, and myb get a couple g's earlier than u thought. love ur stealth set up tho dood!! 1st grow....LEARN SUM SHIT!!!!
REMEMBER, shit is goin to go wrong sum where its just how u handle it and learn from it. GROW THE FUK ON!

yeah im really sorry i didnt mean to knock your efforts, i was just thinking with the space that you have,in the long run your not actually saving money because the electric you are using to run those small bulbs would power a 250 halide bulb,plus the halide light emmits a part of the light spectrum ur plants can use,the small bulbs are about 30% efficent, also, the 40£ investment would double the weight of your buds guarnteed my friend so actually your not saving any money just delaying were u actually need to be. also flat painted surfaces are as effective as mylar, lose the tin foilmy friend has a 3 foot plant under 1 2300k 45 watt cfl its in week 6 of flowering and it looks just like any other dank plant i hate him i cant believe its so nice under 1 fucking light.

i talk from experience i smile alot coz im stupid d; hahahaaaa
good luck bro!!

in my opinion (NOT talkin shit) but unless ur using ten or twelve of those cfls, u wont flower like U WANT it to. they just dont give off the lumenns the an hid will. dont b afraid to drops sum cash dood. ALL will b retunded in the end...if invested right, over & over & over & over & over....ect.
the best thing i did growing wize was, 1 H.I.D., 2 Medical card, and then probally fox farm ocean forest, i love that shit....its like a sponge, hahaha, but to the topic at hand. nice camera. oh yea... fuk im high, i was gunna say sumthin. ill remeber

I know people have suggested using HPS and all that but it really isn't gonna work in the space you've got. CFL's are the way to go for stealth grows, specially over the heat issue that your gonna face with it. Just shove as many as you can in there, good thing about CFLs, you cant over do it.
You do need to get them as close as possible tho! 2-3" will do perfectly.
Another thing to note down, Tin foil in my eyes is HORRID, so do try and get rid of it but dont be too worried about hot spots or anything because you cant do that with CFL's. The light they produce just isn't powerful enough to cause any hot spots or rusting on the plants so dont panic.
If you need any help growing just pm and i'd be happy to give advice out. Being a CFL user myself.

so today is day 20 and my plants are looking nice and healthy. i took everyone's advice and removed the aqua globes
for now and started self watering lol. i plant on slowly starting nutes anywhere from day 25-30.
RUNNNT
AS FOR THOSE TALKING ABOUT MY CFLS..... THEY'RE ACTUALLY PRETTY CLOSE...
i FIMMED, not TOPPED, one of my plants just to see if it reacts well to it.
(apparently, some strains do not like being fimmed/topped)
.........and sorry for the shitty cell phone pics ill put better ones up in a few hours
AS FOR MY TINFOIL
i still haven't removed it.....
im a little lazy and i know it doesn't have to be removed yet, and apparently CFL's
don't create heat spots, but i guess ill have to find out for myself....
heres what my lights look like from a regular view and a floor view

and this is for the clones and seedlings. 1 new seed gets planted tommorow and then clones will be planted later on
AND OBVIOUSLY IM GUNNA PUT DIFFERENT LIGHTS IN THE CLONE AREA
