Hello everyone. Just thought I'd see if there were any other growers out there pimpin' the floro's in bloom. Here are a few shots of some Chrystal, and Super Ice about to come down next week. Vegg'ed under 200 watt compact floro, bloomed under four T5's.




















hope that's a good enough start. let's free the Floro's!!

cligreen, dan woody, dr.no, bogusik2: right on guys! thanks for stopping by and contributing to the thread

everything looks great. man those CFL grows always impress me. and when it comes to veg i don't know why more people don't turn to floro's. the plants love it.

anyone else out there using T5's or other floro's straight through in bloom??? i guess if i didn't have to worry about heat in my little closet i would have an HPS. haha whatever gets you there.

that is skill! I learned to grow in a 150W HPS cab that that was 4 ft squared!!!! Takes alot of skill to maintain a healthy crop under such conditions.............you've done a fantastic job!!!!

here's a shot using 252w before harvest. shitty yield since i was dealing with heat, 12/12 from seed, and under-utilizing space in a stacked rubbermaid setup. please excuse the camera, some of the settings weren't working right.

Ok I am sold

Ok I am sold

What are the absolute best compact flourescents I can use. All I need are these and a few fans and I can do a nice bid room grow with all organics; awesome. What can I expect to be different? how much lighter would the buds be and fluffier than an outdoor grow. What would be the difference in the high? I remember a long time ago I had some amazing plants outdoors that were vegged indoors under tube flouros. They were beasts.

Also what if I used like 25 - 50 cfls all under one reflector. would this produce buds as good as a 1000w hps with none of the heat?

well, your math is a bit off... you would need twenty 50 watt cfls to equal a 1000w hps (if i'm understanding that right haha), but someone else with more experience will have to tell you if it would be the same quality buds as a HPS. i would think an equal wattage of CFL would be less intensity than a HPS, but that's just intuition.

but i do know these T5s are ridiculouus. when i started this grow I didn't expect much, i knew i'd be able to grow smokable weed, but i thought the buds would probably be light and stringy. but these nugs are compact as any i've ever seen. size is noticeably smaller, but the density looks awesome.

i'm chopping the first one tonight, so it will only be around four more days before i've got an initial smoke report. the main harvest is coming down in another week, and you'll be able to see the harvested buds and decide for yourself. they smell like kerosene antelopes dipped in honey.

take care everyone!
