i want to know what difference it makes flowering with CFLs compared to HPS. i've been told i won't get good bud (and i'm used to STRONG bud) flowering with CFL. Also i've been told Miracle Grow soil makes bud taste bad and that i should use 18/6 light instead of 24hrs during veg. having no experience, i would appreciate sugestions and comments, thanks,

Cfl's work for me to grow killer nougats.People who say you can't grow with cfl's are people that need more help to grow.

thanks, i can't afford a ballast and bulb anyway
i think we will add a stronger CFL in the main socket and use Y adapters to chain 42 watt lights down the sides of the girls. for now i have 9 42 watt lights.

A white shower curtain will help reflect some light back to the plants. I have heard of great results with the MG moisture control.

And i use miracle grow with soem topsoil added in. If people can't grow with what they have, when they obviously have enough, are lacking in greenthumbery.Don't get discouraged!!!

i mixed in some supersoil with the MG. makes it mulchier. it also has nuts, so i'm not adding anything to water. using britta filtered water to lower PH of the water here and it lowers alkalinity, hardness, and nitrite levels. i'm not going to veg much longer. also we put foil around the tub today
