How many cfls would I need to flower this plant?

VACAVILLE,CA.GROWER · May 24, 2015

I have a strawberry blue. I have had her outdoors from day 1. She has been lsted almost from the start She has so many tops on her. She will be 10 weeks old on monday. I need to bring her indoors to flower her, curious neighbors. I have 2 40 actual watt cfls that are 2700k. I can get these cfls for about $1.00 here at the dollar store. So how many total cfls would I need for a nice yield? I plan on keeping her lsted the whole time. I have a 32x32x60 tent to grow her in.

go to home depot and get yourself 2 70wt HPS..........

get some bulb sockets and splitters and hang as many CFLs you want. the more the better. If heat isnt an issue get yourself an HPS. That plant looks great to me would do real nice under a HPS

I would use anywhere from 600-800 watts of cfl over that girl

Buy 6 more of them 40w bulbs to get yourself potentially about an ounce give or take. Or buy 1 400w hps and an inline fan and get potentially double/triple yield.

Very nice. I would go with some LED or HPS if you can control the heat. I personally would not load it up with more CFL although I know that would work.

That will work. Dont forget to buy a ballast.

$1 for a actual 40w. That doesn't sound right to me. I don't think their actual 40 watt cfl. If so get a few more of them. That will yield you enough to last until the next one....maybe.

yep .99 cents here in my city. Says 150 watts buts uses 40 watts. The bulbs are huge.

The problem will be the fact the plant is hardened to the sun. Cfl will make it stretch like crazy and maybe not produce much. Maybe figure a way to keep it outside.
