Default How many cfls to flower with A+ results~!
Well I start this lil baby in the natural way from seed! Well it was from my last harvest and one of the seed fell in the pot off the plant (i know seed yuck but I missed a male a day or two and he fuct them all) Anyways I vegged and LSTed it until I couldn't hid it any more outside and then brought it in!

IT has been flowering for a week no signs of sex yet but I am curious if I have enough light for her to flower with dense nugs as last time with 6 plants under the same number of bulbs 3 plants were decent and rest were very stringy and thin!

Bulb count is - 30 total!

29 @ 23w
20 - 3200K
9 - 6500K

1 @ 30w - 3200K

I know I know go HPS and get the best results but I am broke so anyone know a cheap place to get at least 150w hPs!

you could double your light level for pennies by just attaching some reflectors to the back of all those bulbs like an aluminum pie plate, half your light is radiating out into space from the back of the bulbs.

metal 'cause it can be attached directly to the lights without burning.

Why not just get bigger CFL's with higher lumen output and wattage? Just curious.
