Hi, i started planting like 2-3 months ago, and my plant hasnt got any flowers yet, only white thin straws sticking out. So my question is, will it flower with just one cfl lamp? cause i cant afford 2 for now, so will my plant still do good?


got High Power CLF 105W 6400k bluelight btw :?

Will it flower? Yes, the results will be minimal at best. I remember somebody trying to grow with an incandescent bulb. You have him beat by a long stride.

THIS plant is way to stretch out thats because your light is to far away from your plant put it CLOSER RIGHT NOW, put 12-12 light to make it flower and make sure that during the 12 hour that the light is off theres aboslutly no light from outside

If used efficiently and all other factors (soil, ferts, ventilation, etc.) are dialed in, 100 watts of CFL will turn out a fine plant. Remind yourself, quality, not quantity. Your bud will be fine smoke, it just won't be super heavy. There's a lot you can do to help that single bulb along, such as training/topping, the watering method you use, maximizing reflectivity, and keeping the air in your grow space from sitting stagnant.

The real problem with a single bulb, and HID lamps share this problem, is that if your bulb dies/breaks, your grow ends til you replace it.

Sounds like a BS post cause that isnt blue spectrum light.

But I would clone that and start over. Then keep that light as close as you can. So you know, 4 27w cfls would do a much better job than 1 105w cfl. Or supplement that giant cfl with some 27w cfls. At the cost of 2-5 dollars each I think you can find it in the budget if you want a good yield.

yea it will flower..... but it will take forever and the buds will be tiny haha. buy a few more. maybe like 6-7 cfls per plant for flower or something like that. the more the better! good luck!
