Be carefull with those plastic bag pots because they retain water in all of the fold corners and will rot your root, I promise you that. Use smart pots they are by far the best. The extra few buck are well worth it.
thats kewl thanks for the info man

Im curious to see the yield and to be honest your 484 watts of cfls will be about the same on the elec bill as a 400 hps if not more
actually this grow sucked compared to my 1st cfl grow i grew them to tall and had to many was my mistake i know that my 1st grow was able to get 2 1/2ozs of each sour diesil plant so this grow i only plan on flowering no more then 12 really thinking about maybe 8 and adding some light have a 1000 hps/mh that im trying to trade for a 600 same thing cus i dont want to power the 1000

I hear ya..Good luck on trying to trade it honestly you should hold on to that because you might want one later instead of getting more lights.Get a 600 if you need to but see what you can do with the 1000 if its only 12/12..

484 Watt might be why you had such a low yield with so many plants. I have almost 1000 CFL watts for only 6 plants. I expext 2 zip per plant dry and they were only a foot when I started flower. I might get closer to a pound with all 6 now that the nutes are under control. I will also be doing a comparison HID to CFL with a 600w HID vs. 1000w CFL but 500w with 20 plants not enough but the buds from your last grow looked great but sorry about the yield. Minimum 2 zips per plant dry or there is not enough light. These are my plants 21 days after changing to 12/12. I know they look shitty but they will still produce just fine.
shit looks bomb cfln like the setup i do plan on adding a 600 hps/mh setup trying to trade my 1000 thanks for the info yeah i learned my lesson still a newbie myself did 2 greenhouse grows, 1 outside grow and my 3rd indoor cfl now my 1st had nice yields but quality wasn't as good as my 2nd the 2nd quality is hella good but my yields were not there but i know the problems plus i did lose some to mold needed more air movement my friend has a delivery medical service & loves my shit so i must of did something rite but i am still learning

Oh you did it right as far as the buds look it's just the yield could have been much better. Don't take that the wrong way I like what I saw and your new system looks kick ass. Props to you!

10 zips is still alot of smoke every 3 months. I can't eat, drink, and smoke 3oz a month. Maybe 2 1/2 lol. Congrads again. Make sure you poke holes in the folds on the pots and you will be happy. Good luck. I'll be following this thread

Nice thread and I love your grow flicks! I use 2000 watt cfl units to flower with also and I'm so f%#*en tired of the "purist" who believe you cant get yield from cfl's. So its nice to see other cfl growers who produce! Check out the grow box I built for my buddy on YouTube link up to week 4 1/2 in flower. We put two 2000 watt CFL units in a 8ft x 2 1/2 ft box for a total of 4000 watts (920 actual watts). The camera date is effed up on the flicks but he got these clones in mid February of this year. Oh yea, the flicks at the start are from my grow room but they are all from over a year ago. Now I'm topping and lollipoping all of them with 20 gallon home depot tubs as pots and 9500+ watts over 8 monster girls.:)
