1st Grow - CFL to LED

Hi, I wanted to jump on the grow wagon, so I went out and bought 2 CFLs and 1 clone. That setup was then upgraded to 6 ~23Watt CFLs on 2 clones. I had them in veg for about 2 weeks then transitioned them to 12/12. Now, as they are a week or 2 into flowering my LED unit has come in. Im using Jacks general 20-20-20 fertilizer for veg and the blossom booster 10-30-20 for flowering.

Any advice is welcome, feel free to comment! :leaf:

Dude, those cfl's and led lights are too far away

For cfl alone you need atleast 100w of cfl's per plant, so in this situation probably 2 each plant.

And those cfl's need to be no more than 2 inches away from the plant.

Also, the cfl's put out most of their light on the sides, not the top.

Other than that its looking ok. Keep the lights super close to stop the stretching.

they look good bro and bc bud is rite about the light i just figured you movedthem out the way to take the pixx.........keep them with in 2-4 inches of the plant also some y splitters and help you double the cfls you got really quick........also look into LST'ing your plants next grow ot helps you keep the plants smaller and use the lighting you have to the fullest.......... instead of 4 cfls trying to light up a 4 ft plant, its 4 cfl on a 2 ft plant and its easier to get them closer
