was wondering if 2 500w cfls and 6 40w fluorescence lights would be enough light to get good dense bud?

what should i expect with cfls ? alot of people talk bad about them just seeing what you think please let me know will have pictures soon


area 19"W 60"L 40"T

ONE fan no exaust fan temp 72-84 last night lights on at 7pm off at 1pm

temp during 2pm-7pm 79-80

wanted to ask before starting flowering if this would work?

Hey man

I'll be the first to say welcome !!

CFL's are not bad.. its only bad growers using CFL's that give them the bad name.. Have a look a the R.C.C thread as well as the sticky written by Dr.Chronic.. that has plenty of info.. Also later tonight the R.C.C will be putting out another FAQ for all you new CFL growers !!

To answer your question, first I have to ask you a question.. When you say 500W cfls' for you mean equivalent Watts or actual watts ? I've just never seen a 500W CFL but that'd be BAD ASS... anyway.. without knowing that.. I'd say yeah you can get away with some nice high quality buds with just CFL's.. have a look around the section anyone in the R.C.C will show you how its done and any of us would be happy to help !!

Good Luck,

yes equivalent Watts sorry they are 65w cfl spot lights "bulb name 4u-65w 6500 (bb) lights" i also have a bulb that says "cooper r10 plf-65w 6400 and a # on the back that says 6924. found the r10 on the a web site that says its 500w dont have much info on the 4u-65w. any info would help thanks



can i flower with 2 five hundred watt cfls and 6 forthy watt fouresence

I think you'll be fine then.. If you could possibly drop the floros and get more 65 watters you'd be better off or even 26W's or 42W.. my entire grow is being done with nothing but 26W lights and I'm more than content.. have a look at Wolfman_Zen's grow.. and Dr.Chornic just as 2 of the many great examples of what can be done with cfl lighting !!

Good luck man,

Remember to make reflectors for your lights , mylar,mylar,mylar, and should I risk repeating myself MYLAR...
