I don't know

You know Chronic... when I smoke I enjoy all the HERB pretty much the same... I like to smoke.. put on some sunglasses and play frisbee for hours with an occasional dip in the ocean to snap me outta the fog.. i like to stay away from food and BE WARM in the suns rays...

I must admit that I am not very critical about herb.. OTHER THAN AESTHETIC and TASTE....

Ok so your not critical, so you must be an expert cfler who can make buds that are so good you dont need to compare them to hps buds..? I have read your advice on other threads of how to maximize growth and buddage development, so you must use cfls yourself and the info sounds right on so you must be a pro yourself. Just curious man...

CHRONIC... i am soooo fooking sorry that we are having a disconnect brother.. I am really trying to answer you question... I just am not sure what you are asking.. it is totally my bad.. I am not trying to play mr. cool or blow you off.. or avoid the question.. I just don't get it...

I will try again.....

Using 8 CFLs it was possible to get 8 ounces+ some change from 3 planst and the weed was pretty fooking GOOD... all of it. there were no shitty nugs on the entire harvest...

but when using 7000 watts of 600 and 1000 watt HPS bulbs the GROW was an entire different story... HID bulbs made huge baseball batt size nugs.. and the smell was out of control.. and even the smaller colas were 10 grams a piece...

AS FAR AS THE POTENCY AND HOW STONED I GOT.. I NOTICED NO DIFFERENCE..

Tonight I had dinner with SUBCOOL and ED and a few other AMAZING cats... and SUBCOOL was saying that he does NOT smoke HYDROPONIC or and CHEMICALLY enhanced BUD... and I am pretty sure he can tell just from puffing the shit.. I have not cultivated that type of scrutiny or that type of sensitivity.

if this did not answer your question.. I am more than happy to try again, if you will continue to be patient with me..

I had one cola from an 15 inch tall plant that weighed 57 grams by itself!

As far as potency, its some of the stoniest bud around. I'm still growing bag seed and the bud has been killer. After I hone my skills with the cfl's I'm ordering some Ak-47 seeds and investing in hps lights.

fooking A impressive... I too would like to see pictures

here are some better pictures showing bulb placement

Yeah I've got pics of my set up and pics from 3 of my 5 harvests. I've also got pics of the scale with that fat ass cola. I will try to get the pics up tonight, I've got class in like 30 min and I've got to get my mind right be-fo class....

jolly8541 · #26 01-16-2008, 02:25 PM

The first 3 are from the plant with the fat ass, and the last is my very-first plant. Both are from bag seed.

Listen you fooking boosterd eh!j/k ? Cool man good info coverage, so hps just makes fatter, denser, more smelly(Related to potency?) Sorry if expect you to be the all knowing but shit your username is garden KNOWM and your a moderator of a marijuana forum so you must know some statistics of it. cool i just wanted to get any idea of what the obvious differences was because i havent heard to much on the subject, just wanted an experts advice like yourself. I go chemicall, its fucking amazing what the concentration of chemicalls does for marijuana. I have made amazing recoveries with my greedily hungary my bitches were.

I hear you just have to flush the soil two weeks in advance, and it washes all the chemicalls out the plant. Its all good,

This ones for you.

GK

it seems with info like that... 1 inch away from plants...

that scrog grows would be most appropriate for cfls

no?

Dear Knowm,
We sometimes joke around, but I will be real straight with you here. I think this is a great post, but I have a couple questions.

Last night at Lowes I saw a supersize CFL. I think it said 65 watts and output range of 300 watts. This monster was the size of a football. It was huge. They had a price of $17 on it. I was wondering about hanging it in the center of my grow closet and circling 5 gal pots around it. Then supplimenting with lights from above. Or perhaps stack two of the monsters end-to-end, in the center of the closet. So have you ever used these bug bulbs? What do you think of the idea?

Second question: What do you think of T5 grow tubes?

Thanks, MB.

Ok here are a couple of pics of a bud grown under cfl's and floros.
