ok so here it is this was a setup i made for my buddy as a challenge/ bet to help him out he wanted a small grow op that was under 100$ including everything. heres what i used

MG soil with time release
4x23 watt 1600 lumens CFLS mounted on flood light V's
1 2foot shoplight with the bulbs it came with
MG Bloom Nutes
3 liter soda bottles for planting containers.
PC fans from old pc i had
Timex Timer.
total cost 75 dollars give or take

total wet wieght 45 grams ill update with the dried weight later:blsmoke:
I grew two plants on this setup just harvest the first one the second one i put into flowering after the first so that i could have more space like 3 weeks after the first or so
***side note this plant had a light fall and burn the stalk and then the top wieght bent the stalk i taped it up using a straw i cut and wrapped around it**
I hope this helps some of the ppl asking how are cfls for growing
Some of these pics arnt to good i tried useing the laptop cam but its so hard to hold something to take a pic and make sure ur not in the frame the shitty ones are from my 10 webcam easier to use but crappier pics

its a cross of ak and some white strain reason it got cut 12 days early is the break in the stem was getting pretty bad the straw i wrapped it with to help it stay up was starting to rot the stem a tad so i figured better safe then sorry

planted from seed veg for 1 month flowered for 6 weeks 4 days it was ealy but i need some space for the other plant thats in there and the place where it broke was getting bad i used a straw becuase it was the only thing handy at the time. But i guess all in all cfl's do work im going to the the other plant go for full time its got about 3-4 weeks left.since i started it flowering later. but its got good sized buds on it already
