Floros can produce fine results. The trick is to prune for an even canopy to make maximum use of the light available. Relectivity is very important you're right about that.
My point is that even with his current light limitations an even canopy would have helped maximize those limitations.
For a first grow he did ok. Credit where credit is due.

He grew bud and the plants alive lol that good for a first grow
But for advise I'd say he stretched em way to much
And I would advise no one to prune a auto lst yes not prune

Thanks a lot guys im adding the few other bulbs I have now but im going to look into the hps do I need a ballast to run that? This is why I love the site because now I can get the feed back I need.

Is there anything I can do right now to boost it for these last few weeks? im adding a few bulbs now but please let me know id love to get as much as possible out of her.

Why wait u can continually put em in non stop as u allways run on 18/6 light or 24 with auto u r arnt u?
U need about 100w per plant
So with a 400w u could be pulling 3 to 5 oz once a month if u spaced em 1 month apart because

ya there on 24/0 now they were on 18/6 before... im ordering 3 150w HPS bulbs this week idk if im going to add them to this grow but im def going to use them for the next one. I added one more of the cfls and the buds seem to be getting better i might not get a TON but i know ill atleast get enough to hold me over until the next one is done with the HPS bulbs... Now i have a few questions do i need a ballast for the HPS? and would it be ok to trim some of the bigger dying fan leaves off now while shes growing or just wait till the very end. Im about to start my 2 week flush here in a day or two but i dont want to harm the plant but would also like to get some of those bigger dying fan leaves away so there not blocking light. the buds on the lower part of my plant def arent ready or getting enough light so i added the other bulb to hit the bottom of the plant. but Ya let me know because im going to order these bulbs and didnt know if i needed a ballast and i dont wanna pull any fans without knowing its ok Thanks alot everyone!!!

I'm sure you know this but the 150W is the least efficient HPS i believe.. Might wanna check into that

ya i saw that too but then i seen alot saying that CFL is just as good and cheaper to run so idk im confused lol i have to CFL now but i dont think i have enough wattage. The buds are alot bigger now that was 9th week now im in the first day of the 10th week. I just dont want to spend hundreds of dollars ya know?? This is all for hobby and personal medical nothing else so i dont want to spend a fortune but also if your going to do somthing you might as well do it right so like i said im kinda stuck on the issue. and my Northern Lights was from speed i think? i got it through the single seed centre

A word of advice, don't trust anything else whoever told you this said.. 105W CFL cost the same as 105W of HPS and is nowhere near as useful. If I were you I would look at 250 or 400's.. Good luck

WTF are you lighting with? You need way more light, that is a very lanky and poor producing plant. Only auto's I've grow are Vision Northern Lights and they were dense bushes with about 2oz on one and 3oz on the other. You look like you have less than 1/2 oz and a sad looking plant.

Agreed... I see newbs doing this ALL the time. :roll: MORE LIGHT, everybody -

Man if you can spend 200 $ I highly suggest a 400 watt hps. Even if you think that's too much buy a dimmable one dim it to 300. Those 150 and 250 hps bulbs are basically just a heater they are so inefficient. with a 400 watt even if it's just on 1 plant, if you can't pull 5 oz your doing somthing wrong.
