You can definitely flower with CFLs. The warm light variety are better for flowering. HIDs would probably give you a better yield, but may make a little more noticeable increase on your electricity bill... Hope everything works well. Do you have a journal or thread with pics?

:bigjoint:

Good Luck!!

I just got on the site today, so once I figure it all out I'll get some on here. I have 1 other question. I put 2 babies in 1, 4 gallon pot when I started. Will they make it, it's 2 weeks now and they're crazy growin, but I don't want to touch them. The other 1's are in proper pots, by themselfs. ty.

and by the way man.


if your worried about electricity getting too high....battle or balance it out. For example, most house/homes use 60 watt incandescants.... and ALOT of them... if you replace all the bulbs with 13watt CFLs you will DRAMATICALLY cut down on power usages.

just pay attention to basic things....

and big shay...dont take it personal man...i didnt mean anything by it. i just think when we start doing 'illegal' things, we tend to stop thinking and get paranoid. we automatically think because our power bill goes up that we will get caught because "WE" know that we're growing so that makes us paranoid and scared. when that same power increase on the bills can happen very easily when your not growing. and you tend to think about it when you do something illegal.


just chill and be smart. use your head and you will be find. besides they the dea got bigger fish to fry bro

hey big shay, my first grow i used cfl's, the buds came out pretty dank but not too chunky, you def need some hps shit to make chunky budz, but if cfl's are the only thing you can run without sketchin out your landlord than you will be fine, maybe start the veg inside and finish outside...
