Pic from the first test!

OFCORSE HPS lights are great,i dont need to hear that!

THe test went well in my book,great little plants is all i hoped for!!
SHOWING that you do NOT need 120.000 lumens or 90.000 or 20.000
not even 10.000 or less that 5.000 and not even 3.000 lumes hahaha!!!
im sounding like that guy on TV selling Rotisseries ohhhhhh????
Just 1200 lumes can suffice.... checkit!

Im using all CFL's too. i have 4 100watt bulbs that are about 3 or so inches away. i didnt want to burn them. but thanks for making a thread about how great CFL's are. makes those guys who go out and buy $400 lights look a little foolish...

great grow and nice looking plants.

I agree...Newbs should not be discouraged wby starting with flouro...here is an early all fluoro grow...not even near cut time either.

MaxGrow - High power full spectrum

Them Pine cones look great!

Hi Lou; I am looking at one of these ^ for a veg / Gerret from Magus is using these & had them as a 'new product entry' at the 420. / I got to see them in action & there was NO heat = IMHO a great closet/mother light

I am using 2 - 150 cfls as secodary lighting

One of the winners used all cfls

(Big storm - golf ball sized hale = fricken tornado warnings going off ) - I will just grab my seeds & dog

Check out www.maxgrow.de if you speak german

These CFLs are IMHO the way forward. Got one ordered for veg and will post results as it goes...

i've got a white russian in dwc under 2 42w cfls doing spectacular! It's like a jungle...NL5xBB flowering under 250w hps and 150cfl. Just added the 150 the other day A noticable difference in growth.

 

[Wacky Tobacky]

i got about 12 plants in my closet with about roughly 650 watts of tube/CLFs. they arent sexed yet but i think i cant fit 6 mature plants in there.

 

[Mibri]

Hi Guys. Nice thread, m8. Here's my vegging area with 15 20W cfls. I made it to be able to have small and large plants in the same tray. I put the netting above to be able to lower, raise and move to sides each bulb. Haven't grown this for long, but i'll bet it'll work nicely. Here it is;

 

[Space Ghost]

here is some cfl bud

 

[muddy waters]

man, fluoros can't grow shit!






Nirvana PPP under 156 watts (96 of it 6500K; 60 of it 2700K)







Selected sativa and indica hybrids under same

Man seeing this thread I'm changing one thing for sure. When I flip to 12/ 12 I'm leaving my t5's up for the first couple weeks to keep the stretch down. If you guys are getting buds like these with CFL's all the way through flowering, there's no way a few weeks of flouros and then using the HPS can hurt.

Beautiful plants!

im definetly going the cfl in my refrig grow, my ?how many of each should i put in my refer box it is about 2-1/2 ft w 2=1/2 ft deep and 3 feet tall i am going sog and this is my first full grow since the stone age when mexican weed was !0 an oz and if you had colombian you were the king of the hood.so needless to say i got some catching up to do on the technology any advice about ferts and soil would be a big help im in central cali and my local orchrd supply stocks miracle grow,schultz and lily miller? any thoughts?

 

[monkeykush]

It's nice to see that cfl's can get the job done. I read a thread recently from a icmag'er who used a 13/11 light schedule in a clf grow. According to him the yeild more than doubled from the 12/12 schedule. He said it had something to do with the plants sleep time and added heat enery or somthing like that. Food for thought...
