    Default CFL - SoG

    Does anyone have any experience with doing a sog with cfls? I plan to do clones 12/12 as soon as they have good roots. I have approx 400w and would like to keep around 20 in there in a perpetual. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

    Keep air circulating, especially around the base of the plants when they grow taller. Make sure you have enough exhaust. I'm relatively new to all of this but I've had some circulation issues with my CFL SOG and I've read a lot about other people's too. How large are your pots?

    Circulation isn't much of an issue. Pots are most likely going to either be 2 liter hempy buckets or 1 gal soil. I'm leaning toward the hb though. Faster growth, more controllable, smaller container to get. The plants closer together.

    I have decided to do soil in 2 liter soda bottles. Putting 4 in every 2 weeks, so I figure no more than 20 plants in the flower room at a time.

    Any recommendations on strain that would be good for this? I mix my own organic soil, but am also looking for a simple nutrient system to use. I don't use much fert as I have my own compost and it is very rich. Including tons of plant matter, horse manure, Horse urine, etc...

    thc bomb or any nice indicas seem to work well with very little/no veg time, plus if your limited on height indicas are good bet, im doing a 12/12 from seed sog in 2 litre 100% perlite hempy's... so far so good!

    Do I know what I do is illegal? Yes, but morally do I think that what I do is wrong? Absolutely not.

    Thank you. Indicas seem the way to go. The only reason I'm limiting height is because of the cfls. Not much light penetration. So, do you have experience with thc bomb?

    Also, how are the perlite hempys doing? That was my other option.

    Thanks for the post. Gives me more to think about. Anyone have other recommendations for strains? I want something that works best in this short sog. And short (8 week) flowering time would Def be a plus.

    Nobody have a recommendation for a good sog strain?
    I plan to put 4 clones in flower every 2 weeks. Taking the clones at 6-8 in. So they will be 18-24 at harvest.
