How much more cfls will i need?

Genosyde · #1 08-31-2009, 02:05 AM

ok i have another thread that im using as my grow journal for just the flowering process. and im guessing i need ALOT more light cuz this plant is already at about 4 feet standing up but i have it pinched down, no real lst, just bending to keep it down and i keep having to bend it everyday to keep it off the lights. the growth is unbeleivable and im guessing the majority of it is from the switch to 12/12 a few weeks ago. but how many lights more do you think i will need to make this a good yeilding grow? the plant itself smells like chicken boullion imo lol dont know if thats good but im sure once it starts resinating that will change. but anyways, lots of hairs all over, using 224 watts on it, its in a 5 gallon camoflauge bucket and is growing alotttt. but i wanna see more bud growth so how many 2700k should i put in there? and also i will be moving the platform holding my lights up about a foot and a half so i can have substantial space. would this be enough to stand it up and orbit lights around it, or will it outgrow the space??? some pics were from 2 days ago, i watered the bitch and it fucking flew and outgrew the other side like crazy, thats why i wanna have it straight up to get and even amount of light on all sides here are the pics...also my little seedling 12/12 from seed *edit* the platform is at about 4 feet some inches, going up to about 5 feet 11 inches

I'd get another 100w of 2700 on it, filling in around the sides. I doubt it will get much taller. Looks good!

Here's what you do...First throw your cfl's in the trash and get yourself some good lighting.

CFL's are good for Veg if you have a problem with room Temps. If you plan on using CFL's throughout your whole grow Veg and Flower, only Veg for 2 weeks and to get a decent yield you will need as many as you can plug into your sockets...lol

Ignore the haters. I have seen and smoked some amazing CFL grown shit that would make their heads spin. You can grow a huge plant, but you will need to have the CFL's to handle it. Your room should be literally blinding you when you walk into it. Cover the entire plant with lights from start to finish and you will be good.
