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.
Sick looking buds dude!! You're doing right in that space you got to be upwards of 600 to 800W CFL to put out great yields...are you using a mix or straight 2700K for flowering?
My next grow I am going to use a 4' T5 (200W) two compact flouro (150W) and two 50W LED grow lights in a scrog setup...should be the equivalent of like 800-900W
I also reccomend the High power 50W LED light from HTG Supply...it;s a nice supplemental light and it is fattening up my colas in conjunction with my current 600WHPS grow of Cheese and Master Kush.
THe Big Buddha Cheese is such a beautiful plant to see in flower...so much resin and the calyxs are retarded looking....I love the smoke as well....grows real fast and flowers fast once you've cloned...should be cutting down around day 50-55....Yee---f^$&$in HA!!
