Most have seen my Off-Grid SOG at the Cabin...it was 210 watts of CFL's over 2 sq ft.

Well things are about to change......

We must move to town for a coupla' years to take care of some business and now that I will be Back on the Grid I can "Play" with more power. :jump:
I have chosen to stay with my "Get everything from HomeDepot" theme for this set-up also....
I belive this will Be the LARGEST CFL Grow on Record anywhere :headbange

***** :hotbounce 1176 Watts of CFL's under Flower at once :hotbounce *****

First the Boxes are two Oak Desks with the insides removed

Then after a coats of Primer and some Flat white paint we have....



And there are 2 of them......


Each tray holds 6 20oz bottles and 12 trays fit per box.....72 clones per level for a total of 144 Flowering...... :bis: :bis: :bis: :canabis:
Each level will be 588 Watts of CFL's










This is what my Strain will do under CFL's in a 20 bottle of my soil mix

Kinda just makes ya' smile ..... :smoke:

I'm doin' this to show the Masses what can be done.......with CFL's :yoinks:

HID's have already been shown to produce Very nice budz indoors.
(And the world is Happy W/1gram per watt) :joint:

CFL's are the wave of the Future..... :jump:
(Yields of up 2.... 4 grams per watt may be possible with the right strain and time to Dial it in)

CFL's allow for ......
Many Points of light...(the corners are as Bright as the middle of the Box)
Lumens and Temp....can be "Altered" as needed.(by changing the Bulbs)
And Spectrum can be Manipulated as you wish. (by changing the Bulbs)
and in the middle of a grow if a bulb burns out it is a loss of a small Percentage of the over all light in the box....until it is replaced.


(Also if a HID bulb blows what do you do? Replace it? at some cost to
you...CFL's are under Warranty for 9 YEARS from date of purchase...HomeDepot replaces them no ???'s asked) :headbange

And if ya' have read any of my other thread .......
I just gotta be different..... :canabis:
Rules mean nothing to me.... :canabis:
And I am all about getting the most for my $$$$$ :smoke:
