you are the one talking shit and calling names, I never did that..I only said this topic is in the wrong forum.....CFL growing is not Advanced Marijuana Cultivation..it's elementary.......and HIDs are so cheap now CFL is a waste of money...I was giving good advice...."don't waste your time with CFLs if you want a real harvest"..........Jeez.....some one has an attitude.....

I'm using 1 40watt, 1 18 watt and 2 13 watts

If I'm right that's like 350-400watts

40watts + 18watts + 2 x 13watts = 84 watts, you are talking of the equivalent watts being 350-400, and it is an equivalence to incandescent lighting not HID....

250w flouro. outdoor lamp from lowes 19$ shoot i just read the box it says 42w 250w light output sorry.

you're right. I was talking about the equivalent

I have a close friend who has done well with cfl's. for a small grower their perfect, no hassels with heat. Really good bud. 105watt and up, anything less is a waste


edro

I hope the 75 watters Im getting will do a good enough job.. Its the highest wattage I could find..
I just moved overseas, and HPS/MH, and Hydro are nonexistant over here.. CFLs were my only choice..
Im sure I could mail order, but Im not about to spend the extra shipping when I can just get 6-8 75w CFLs in there..
They are like 3 times bigger then the regular cfl bulbs, but still fit into the same size outlet Hope they will work, ok since it seems to be my only choice

do you think i could flower five plants with ten 42w lights? the strains skunk skunk flowering early when they get a foot tall. i am not sure shat this will yield either.... i have never tried cfls and if i get a good outcome then im going to use them instead of spending so much on a firehazard!

blah blah you poor bastards go buy a T-5 8 bulb and ur good

that didnt sound like help to me werent you just raggin some guys ass about shit like that! if i wasnt poor i would have hps dumbass, and if you not poor you would to!

I actually have a LED
along with my two T-5's so come give me a hand job and I might let you look at one of my T-5's

and actually the new T-5's cost more then MH do so

can i veg one mom with a 105 watt cfl?

im new to rollitup so i dont no how to work this but i researchd alot of shit for like a half year or so and im starting my frist grow its going to be100% Stealth and 100% DIY with every material i have around my house i need to know if theres any way to get a carbon filter for a small fan approx. 2" x 2" out of anything like a stareo,gaming system, or toy things like that and i need advice o n how much cfls of 13w i would need for 1plant its a 13w 2700k and i need the lights to last from seed-harvest, and i need to know how many and how far from the plant they should be and how many for 2 plants? i will post pictures and sorry im new and i dont no how to start a tread in this site please help here is my grow

the yellow memory card is to indacate the area for a hole for the fan/light cords
the black piece of cardboard is for the place for the outake fan
the other fan i believe is blown out but i will find out once i wire it
the light is on chains to raise/lower it
the red thing is a red party cup and the dvds are so if my parents(yes i live with my parents even tho i am 19) creep around my room and open the cabnit they will no see any light or anything suspious and for the light leaks its ok becuz i am going to be puting a black garbage bag stapled at the top and cut to the right size( a bit longer on the bottom) so i can raise it up when i check/water the plants, or i will use a paice of cardboard and the white printing paper it to improvise for mylar/foil becuz i dont have money(DONT GET ADDICTD TO COKE IT SUCKS) and foil is worse but the white paper should work like white paint right? good or bad? and do plants need nutes no matter what? like can i just hav everything besides nutes and get them to still grow? the diamentions are depth=15.5"
width=9"
hight=16.7"

the whole point of where i said im using the materials i have is that i dont have money and im using the bulbs i HAVE all i need to know is how many 300w u said 13w = 60 so 60x3=180 60x4= 240 60x5=300 so 5=1 so i need 5 thx for the info

wow i grow my shit under 300 actual watts of cfl i have 8 plants and ( btw kali hustla y do u have to talk shit ur just a punk little white kid in cali hahahahhahaah tothat t5's arent that bomb that u can only use two they only put out like 5k lumens each so get real and quit talking shit u fag fuck from cali )( not hating on everybody from cali no offense to the rest lmao) . n e ways cfls and leds willl soon blow hid fag ass out the water just watch everyone is trying it and soon the technology will be great enough that it will ( lol i hope i wont stop using cfl s till its legal so to all stay safe and have a high night) peace

actually t-5's are the shit. They put out alot of lumens and practically no heat. LED's suck ass though. I have a pretty sizeable grow right now but Im thinking about setting up a tiny grow cab and go streight from rooted clone into flower. Not sure if Im going to use 24" t-5's or cfl's. Its going to be for flowering only.
