does CFL produce fluffy buds?

cfl's can produce fluffy buds, they can also produce dense buds
get them close to the bud, and it will be dense, but that makes it difficult to cover larger plants
cfl bud quality can be very good

thank you very much growone!

if i were to use more lights on larger plants will be it better?
right now i have 5 cfl 5200ks and i was wondering if i should go about 2more? to produce more light?

the usual answer is 'more is better', bigger plants can really suck up cfl's
which ends up getting expensive, or least no cheaper than HID setups
the very rough rule of thumb is 50 watts per square foot, maybe a bit more for cfl's
but eventually heat can become the main issue, there's a limit to any lighting where more becomes too hot

alright, right on man! i will just stick to the 5 lights since i will be doing a micro grow.

just depends on the strain from what ive notices

Pkush: What are you comparing them to? If its buds flowered under MH or HPS you might be disappointed. From seed to harvest I grow exclusively under T-5's and I keep them real close. My buds aren't as dense as those grown by my friends using MH or HPS but I don't want their electricity bills. Mine will probably never make it to the centerfold of "HIGH TIMES," but mine work just as well in relieving my arthritis pain and mine taste a lot better. But that can be a whole variety of things besides lighting. I hope this helps. HSA

CFL's - At least 100 real watts per plant, and at least an additional 50 real watts per additional plant.

Use a mix of light for a fuller spectrum. Flower, use a 3:1 ratio of 2700K to 6500K bulbs. Veg is the other way around.

I've vegged and flowered under CFL's, I'm very happy with what comes out of veg, no so much with flower.

So, I'm still vegging with the CFL's that I get from the grocery store, but I've upgraded my flower to HID. 1200W HPS and 400W MH. Getting great results.

Yeah its more dependant on strain! At least that's how my first grow was. Charlie sheen crack was pretty fluffy, moby dick was kinda dense but the purp bagseed I grew was just as dense as any HPS buds I've seen!
