Can anyone lend some advice?

Btw, the BlackForrest I grew was vegged predominantly under cfl's (80% of its veg lofe) and by running it under LED I got a frosty ass QP from her. I bet I doubled her yield at least by dedicating more lumens to her

The key is lots of nodes (and tops/branches) and some good height.. 2 feet of tops is a good measure .. A lot of old school guys would flip once they hit 28 inches height

Here's what cfl can't do ..
This top itself is ~100g of some of the densest bud around

But here's what is can do if helped a bit during flower by any kind of better lights, even Chinese LEDs in is case:

Happy gardening all

If you have two plants or more I suggest you only add your pathogeny-type-meals (blood/bone/carcass) to only one plant

Then try run one plant a little more veganic or at least slaughterhouse free...

Then compare.. and note differences

My guess is you'll sell the carcass plant and covet your cleaner herb

That said, if you have a healthy cabinet, with good temps and rh, then doing cfl's isn't bad at all for veg.. I used to rotate plants thru a cfl cabinet cause they never got happier then in there

However if you flower under them, fuck your life..is what you'll say

Packing on the nodes can be done by any kind of light.
But packing bud on those nodes? requires some lumens, my man

Good luck! Feel free to,
Stop by the thread anytime

this has been the most helpful post so far. Yes there are some cool Chinese LEDS but was very unsure of which ones to choose. I originally wanted to grow just using LEDS I fear I will have to buy a proper grow light. what Chinese bulbs are you using?


the cupboard seems healthy they improved alot since being on the balcony.


they definitely need to veg for a couple more weeks I should have enough money by then tk get some bad ass LEDS.

cheapest option always preferred but I'm growing for personal stash and a passive income so yield would be quite important to get right before I order myself some seeds.

each of these bulbs puts out 660 lm I have 8 of them. 40 watts each.

as for the plant food I think I should do a control test with this plant food. it does say it's sterilised so it may be pathogen free. I think the contents of GA are too low to produce undesired effects but then again I'm just saying that based on the bit of research I did about it last night. nothing will ever speak better than first hand experience so let's see!

definitely agree that

1) need more light to flower these bad boys
2) control test with nitrosol. if I get 1 or 2 girls out of this batch I'll be happy.

if my plant is kicked into flowering at a smaller height would I need less light to product dense bud structure since therefore the plant is smaller and would require less energy/lumens to produce dense buds even if they're smaller?

and 5 grams of indoor in my country costs the same amount as all the lights I just bought so even 10 grams off a plant is going to make me a very happy first timer. I'm expecting 4pgra.s hough based on what I have read. I. going to focus my CFLS on one point for flowering if j can't get a LED

I'm a T5 guy I don't do cfl's

right, my bad man.
I should have clarified that you were the guy to ask regarding growing under florescent lights.

you came in asking for advice, we all gave it to you, but It seems you have selective advice that you want to hear.

and sterilized means absolutely nothing in regards to prion disease, prions LAUGH at any conventional sterilization process, it is good that you are in the southern hemisphere as bovine encelepathy isn't as big a problem, as in Europe.
10 grams is possible, but remember weight isn't half the goal, it's going to be a bag full of fluffy herb that weighs that 10 grams.

you mentioned that "nothing will ever speak better than first hand experience"
so why do you argue with the people that have substantial "first hand experience"?
anyways, good luck on your endeavor my friend.
