Thank you and yes cfls through and through. Those buds where grown in an old dresser converted to grow box. I have a 400w hps and just can't use it at the time being for security reasons. The stealth way gives you much better peice of mind. As for yeild ya hps yeilds ALOT more but then again with the more yeild comes a lot of things as keeping smells down more than cfls, keeping the heat contained and also having a suitable place to grow with the HID. Putting an HID in my dresser is just not an option. As for bud denseness it all has to do with the strain. My first grow was ak47xlowryder under cfls, buds were very airy, second grow same strain using 400w hps still pretty airy not as much as the cfls but nothing like my GWS rock hard nugs. The gigabud on the other hand was a little too airy for my liking. She was also a sativa pheno so I figured she would be.

The key to cfls is to have one semi-big plant or two small plants. The one semi-big would be a topped plant and then trained into a circle. The bigger higher wattage cfls seem to work very well if you can get them hung horizontally, as for the lower ones I just hangem' and use y splitters. Mixxing spectrums is also nice however the myth that cfls don't put off heat is false they do put off heat especially once you get 8+ burning at the same time. Granted its not one fixed heat source but they do generally make some heat. Anyways guys I'm out. Check out the journal for present grow.....

thanks for the reply bro thats what i needed to here the buds are still great. i thought so also but just wanted some independed veiws havent had a chance to use a hps yet but but plan to one day
first i want buy some good seeds ihave my eye on "master kush" (nirvana) right now i am keeping one bagseed male alive so that i can mate themm for more seeds then i will buy an hps im thinking 400w'er
do you think if i grow the plants small flowering them at a little over a 1/2ft with 20 plants under that light could i yeld a lb

I think the next seeds that I would grow would be some big bud or a g13 strain. Those look wonderful!

Nirvana ehh...... I have heard REALLY SHITTY things about that seedbank. Also the "real" master kush is from Dutch Passion Seeds Nirvana isn't 100% genetics.

Also sorry to be hating but are you talking about G13 Labs seed bank? If soo another ehhhh....... seed bank. I got one of their freebie gigabuds last grow. Don't get me wrong the smoke was dank and tasted real good but no where near worth 15 weeks of flowering time. I could've done had two harvest's in that time. And so I hear the rest of the strains are pretty much long flowering. I'm staying away...... The key is to choose GOOD genetics, from a good seedbank.

Peace

hey guys. first time grower here. cfl from start to finish is the plan.

my totally ghetto set-up is 2 cfls, 2 computer fans and a bagseed from some dope ass dope.lol.

here are pics of the set up built into an armoire, sorry the quality is somewhat crappy...

lumpus your seedlings looked stretched to hell. You gotta get some bigger cfls and keep them within 2 inches of the top.

Peace

here's my dresser I fitted to grow with cfl's in. just got a couple super gdp and silver grape haze clones last night so it's all up and running. stoked since this set up blows my last cfl grow out of the water.
enjoy

Hello everyone...

I am a CFL er. I am working on a second grow..My first grow is still in progress...

These seeds are White Widdows from a seed bank in amsterdam.

3 of these plants are in bubble pots, 1 is in soil.

Im using General Hydrophonics Floranova series.

How am I doing?

Nice pics guys.

hi, i am about to begin my first grow ina couple weeks and i will be using cfl's due to limited cash/space/ventilation i built a growbox that is 2x2x3 and will be hanging a 105W cfl that puts out 6900 lumens i will be supplementing it with a a T8 tube that is 15W and puts out an additional 700 lumens both are 5000K, possibly others if cash flow allows... for budding i plan to use a 55w cfl that puts out 3600 lumens as well as a T8 15w that puts out an additional 1000 lumens T8 is 3000k and cfl is 2700k (hopefully will be able to buy an additional 55w cfl for budding). due to the limited amount of lights that i will be using i am aware that i need the bulbs to be very close tot the plants and i was wondering how hot cfls that are 105w run, will i be able to tie a string around th coil to hang it horizontal without fear of the string burning? i will also be using LST technique and doing a kind of micro grow due to the fact i will be growing a sativa dominant strain (super lemon haze) i was wondering if anyone had pics of a setup similar to this or at least of a cfl + LST. i am assuming this will increase the small yield that i already expect due to limited space and low yielding strain (have heard average yield on SLH is 50 g but in standard form not LST or scrog. it would be great to hear if anyone has had good results with other haze crosses using lst and cfl!! thanks for all of the great pictures that yall have posted already, my mouth is watering!
