well I touched a bud the other day to move it out from under a higher sections leaf and twas very strong . I own my home and dont get many visitors so I use no sent control. the upstairs of the house smells very strong atm. Although its a unknown I'm sure 100% its 100% sativa due to the fact its not showing any signs of finish at close to 70 days now.

So much dis-information in here.. Really people, if you don't know anything about CFL's and are just HID fanboy, must you reply?

The 23w CFL's are the most efficient. The bigger they are the more un-efficient they become lumens vs watts.

You can veg a plant with 23w cfl's with excellent results. Ohh wait, you can flower a plant with 23w cfl's and get excellent results too. Whodathunkit??

yea you can. Its true . I do like the 100Watt equivalent better though. seems there light output is better than 60 watt equivalent once.

and i agree with the cfl 100 watt results. im not technically a "fanboy" of HID or HPS, but for what i want
to yield this is a necessity. :)

yea just 1. looks like more but its bent over and tied down. its only the upstairs though. soon as u hit the top of the steps it hits you. I hardly smell it any more. Guess you get used to it after a wile. down on 1st floor its just not there.

The secret to high yield with cfl's is scrog or lst. You don't need the penetration of a HID that way. Now if you are a 5' tree guy, then ya, HID is a must.

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm going to poke around for some more info in Woodsmantoker's SCROG thread, and see what he thinks. He is a living God when it comes to what works, and what doesn't regarding SCROGGING lol.


Thanks in particular to bigbillyrocka, stumpjumper, and Fustigatem. Check your rep.
