would love to see more information on cfl grows...

Hi all!im newer in this forum,and i very interested in indoor.

I have sawn that whit HPS we can harvest arround 4 oz per 100watt,in a great,but real case,but,what about Production in CFL?

Im looking for the best ratio,because i cant use a huge wattage.Thanks!

nice one
thanks man
the cfl hps battle is hard this days lol
took me a couple of month to decide between them

I plan on using CFL for the veg portion of my garden. How many watts per square foot do you recommend? I plan on topping/Fimming to have four-six stalks each plant. I've read 1500/lumens per ft squared for seedlings so how does that translate when going into week seven/eight of veg? Not that I'm there Im just wondering.

thanks

Can you still grow buds from your plant with minimal CFL light? I ask this becuase its my 4th week and have recently discovred that the bulbs im using are only 10w i repeat 10WATTS and they seem to be very healthy for there age :S im using two of these shitty bulbs and im growing two plants

you'll probably end up getting really fluffy buds. It happened to me. But my now I now...and knowing is half the battle.

thats great mate thanks for the help!!!

this is all awesome information for me,thanks alot. just one thing i bought a cfl but i cant seemto find out if its a soft white or not. ive looked everywhere on the packaging and on the bulb itsself. its a 42watt=150 its says its a t4bulb with 2700 lumes, i just want to know if this is agood flowering bulb. sorry if this was alrdy answered but ive looked everywhere on the bulb and package.

try looking on the back of the package lower left.or it might say what it is on the front. where did you buy them? maybe go to the web site of the compinty that made them might have the specs on the bulb there.screw the bulb in if it looks real white then its daylight. read this it mighthelp http://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=...article&id=587
