I use 1000 watts of CFL's in conjunction with floro tubes. Alot of you may scratch your head and say why not go H.I.D
Well alot of reasons.
Heat (but 32 26 watt CFL's putt off heat trust me)
Security.
I can not get a HPS or MH in my area, only online, with a credit card, with my adress, name, etc.. uhmm naaah.
CFL's are so freakin universal can put them where you need them. Here are pics from my last harvest of one Indica. I yielded a quarter pound off of one 3 foot plant. using 6 26 watt CFL's and 8 floro tubes for under lighting. At this moment I have 4 5 foot sativas with 900 actual wattage on the canopy and 100 watts from each side (for under canopy) 3000 watt equiv.
They vegged wayyyy too long, I ran into a spider mite prob at an early age and did not want to flower until i eradicated. So I have monsters now.
THey are fighting eachother for space in a 3 foot by 4 foot area in 5 gal buckets of soil. I will yield ALOT. Pics are coming soon. Batteries for camera needed. On a side note ( whats all the bashing and negativity going on? we all grow and or smoke weed in a community, we should all be supportive of each other not destructive.) destructive people rob ganja gardens so keep an eye on them fuckers.
