Is it possible to grow through all stages of ganja growth by just using standard fluorescent bulbs. Yes there are the types of floros available to grow through all stages, but they are much more expensive, and i have little money left in the bank. So i was wandering if i can do the whole process (germination-BUD) by using just normal fluorescent bulbs.

I'm pretty sure you can but the results won't be as good in the end. Your have better results with hps.

how much yield do you think i would make with the bulbs that i am using at the moment with two plants. I have two 21watt floros cool white and warm white each with 3750k.

IMHO, you need much more light, regardless of the type. I have 10 42w CFLs I am using for flowering. I veg'ed with 10 26w CFLs and the plants did very well.

BTW: You can buy 26w 6500k CFL's at home depot or wal-mart for less than $10 a 4 pack.

uhhhhh.....probably like a gram. Why not but a 400w hps online for like $120 bucks. Or buy some 42w cfls at walmart or lowes. You wont get jack shit if you use tube flouros for flowering. At the bare minium you will need CFLs for flowering.

Can you use the 26w CFL's for Growing too? Cause Ill go pick up a couple packs of those to add tomorrow if you can... Im poor and living paycheck to paycheck at the moment so wont be able to buy a HPS... Sad... i know... but i am 19 living on my own supporting 2 in a shitty apartment.. so, i am trying to work with what I got, so, if those CLF's will work with Veg and Flowering, that would be freaking awsome for me.

Love, Peace, and Pot.

I would suggest buying at least 6 42w CFLs for a decent harvest. But that doesnt mean 5 CFLs for like 10 plants or anything either. Like 1 or 2 plants max.

Well ngty that sounds good but are the 42 watt you are using the warm type and where is an easy place to get these......Dimebag

I found the 42watt CFLs @ Home Depot for about nine dollars each.. I don't know if that's a decent price for them or not, but it's a reference point.

The 42w CFLs are 2700k (warm or soft white) and I bought them at home depot. Sounds like the same lights which cho0b talked about above. I would suggest letting me cook them for a few days (just install them last night) and see how they hold up. The GE's I used for veg rocked and lasted through the whole cycle.
