Man there is more and more of these cfl grows popping up..Can you really get comparable yeilds using cfls espicially in flower vs. HID?? I've often thought about throwing up some cfls in my veg room but just stick with the t5 floros..I'm anxious to see how a first timer who sounds like they've done there homework can yeild under cfls??interesting..im all eyes brotha...just FYI you gotta watch the fox farm soil close because of the new soil they have it causes alot of cal/mag def. Every single grow i've done in FF soil i've had issues w/ cal/mag..
 
Yeah, i myself would rather grow with HID lights then cfl's anydays but if thats all i could get etc i would lol but i run T5's in my grow area with 2 MH/HPS lights with them, i hope that they help even if it is just a little lmao:wall:

Hey Riu this is my first grow and it started outdoors, but due to lack of sun i made a grow room in my closet. Im currently flowering under about 230watts actual cfl(both 2700k and 5500k to achieve full spectrum). Shes been flowering for 24 days today. I have a small nitrogen problem but today i fed a half a teaspoon along with 12ml of bio canna flores and pk 13/14 I started my flowering nutrients a bit to soon i think thi is why im having a nitrogen problem so soon into flowering. Heres a few pictures of her from today, lemme know what you guys think. Also i have a picture of my setup lemme know how it looks.

well to start out its natural to have yellowing of the leaves because the plant is using the nitrogen thats been stored in its leaves and is now focusing onmaking buds instead of vertical growth such as veg growth also you may want to go buy some molasses and put about 1 table spoon in per gallon and use that to feed tha plant so when you go to feed here flower or bloom nutes make sure you add that in with it and when you switch to plain water use it as well and when your doing your 2 week flush make sure you use that as well and you should have some very dank and dense buds bro.
