if u use cfl to flower u wont get as much proffit as if u would use hps

Weed Isn't An Addiction - Its A Hobby

Cfls will give fluffy smaller yields compared to hps and mh lighting. I like to use 4 foot florescent tube lights to get clones going then toss my clones under my regular lights for 10 days then got o 12/12 under 2 600 watt hps digital ballast for 5 weeks. That get me 3-4 foot finished planst .Lats grow yield a little over total 132 wet ozs from 25 plants. www.marylandhydroponices.com has 400 watt digital switchable lights for $99 and 600 watt digis for $119

hows ur eletrical bill???

when you buy bud from the street. its usually air compressed to make it a smaller package. you got to rememer that transporting weed is illegal in most places. therefore people who sell in large quantity. (like 100 to 200 ponds) will transport the weed more discreet and to be able to send as much as possible with the space they have. also by
air compressing the weed, they face smaller problems with odor when transporting it.

it could be your stain?Maybe old ment for outdoor or just shity.

My summer bil is little higher like maybe $245 but I run the ac all day and the pool pumps all day also.My 1000 watter hps run 24 hours aday all month costs about $60 amonth which is little more then my 2 600 watters cost running 24 hours a day a month.Winter bill drops when ac and pool get turned off to about $150 a month total house cost.I also run 5-8 computers daily and a big screen tv so that eats power

when my 12/12 starts, I usually turn on the light at night off during the day. this way you can keep the room cooler during the hot summer day. also, many power company will charge you less for not using power during peek hours like 1pm to 9pm or something. check with your power company. the rates are small difference, but trust me, it adds up fast

I just finished a CFL grow and my buds are plenty dense. I used a decent amount of light, around 150-200 actual watts per plant. My lights stayed 4 inchs from the plants at all times, and still turned out very nice.erhaps you didnt have enough light or you picked it prematurely before the buds had a chance to get more dense. I noticed my buds didnt start to get thick until week 6-7 of flowering.
