Wouldnt worry about the choppers unless your using a serious amount of wattage and your careless with your heat sig from your extractor. Never used energy bulbs but there are growers that use them and do allright.

what sort of weight you get from CFL mate
150W CFL, only with Tomato nutes and Biobloom! topped at about 6th node
pre drying and full trim HPIM0851.jpg 4 days hanging and trimmed for jar: HPIM0853.jpg about 65g wet (I say about as only had pans and had to hang buds over the pan!)

400W left untopped and fucked up grow (for fucked up see temps 100+ with same nutes as before!): didn't really bother documenting or weighing this one so only have pics of main cola from one of the 2 plants grown (pre and post drying trim)HPIM0891.jpg HPIM0888.jpgheres a pic of the 2 together, can see where i had 2 LST a little the one on the right !HPIM0880.jpg Got about 2 biscuit barrels dried of sub par smoke.

And I'm sure i've fucked another grow in the middle of them somewhere lol! Hopefully I've now got my mistakes out the way

Going to see this one out with CFL, then if I stay here prob go 250/400 HPS, if I move then maybe a bigger tent and 600W HPS :D All I really want is to be perpetual though with just enough for me to smoke without worry!

Man the time machine should be invented by now, if I only could skip forward a couple of months!

Digi ballasts then mate, get a 400w that you can dim down to 250w or the 600w which dims down to 400w i think, depends on your extraction. Perpetual grow is the way to go im looking at my next crop now thinking ill try some subool strains, jilly bean and vortex might even try a scrog grow seeing as ive never scroged in my life

nicely nicely :) The amount you've got going on would mean I'd only have to grow once aq year or so lol ;) yeah may go for the 400>250 atm I'm running no extraction the highest recorded temp is 84 normally sits around 79 but should be getting inline in a week or so (was going to this week but 'binged' at week-end so that kind put pay to that lol)

Im fucked cause i should by all accounts have some green but my first real attempt in that turn key cabinet ive got went pear shaped. Had 18 super skunk in there and these things went ballistic and stretched like mad and hit the top of the cab, totally fucked up the air flow, humidity went through the roof and the inside of the cab was soaking so i pulled the lot, wasnt happy lol. Would of had plenty of bud to see me through if those bitches hadnt gone mad, i thought they were indica dominaint, never seen a stretch like those girls.

ouch bet you were livid/gutted, couldn't farm them out to anyone? A scrog grow in that thing would look mental :D

What I really need is for my 2 mates who have been contemplating growing for the last 2 years to man up lol then we would all have some smoke and clones etc, but they'll still be talking about in 2020!
