thats what i thought too.

A lot of people hate on cfls but for stealth or small closet its one of the few ways to go. The thing that gets me is people COME INTO THE CFL FORUM and hate on cfls hahahaha.

true people love to hate on cfl's but thats just what i used the best way i have heard to go is to use cfl' for thier veg and hps's for thier flower but mine is flowering nicely and i have 6 23w cfl's to it. and truthfully i see the same results as using an hps.:eyesmoke:

yea im liking the cfl's. only think im not liking is that it took 15 days of 12/12 to show a tiny hair, and still its really small. but i think thats cause i started 12/12 too early.

lol yeah. some strains do take longer to sex anyway. although it sux cause your flowering time will be longer but the buds should turn out nice...

yeah it got pretty huge during 12/12, i can only imagine the size of it if i would have vegged for a few more weeks.

nah it still smells like a plant lol. Last night i fucked up. At about 6pm i closed my closet door and put the towel under it for 7pm when the lights go out. but im a dumbass and left the closet light on for 6 of the 12 dark hours. im gonna have to find another place to put my plant its too tall for where its at now.

has anyone here used cfl and harvested? i wanna know if someone has gotten a plant all the way to harvest with 6 cfls. if so what did you yield on 1 plant?
I started a similar post on that subject, but haven't gotten a lot of feedback. I am very jealous. I went with the high end CFL and spent about $140. I could have just hung 6 CFL's instead - I have a whole drawer of spare bulbs.

I might be too late to the party on nutes, but I have a bottle of the Schultz 10-15-10 formula (liquid, small bottle with eye dropper). It doesn't say veg formula, but it has a green label. Right next to it they had the exact same bottle of Schultz except it had an orange-ish label and said bloom formula. The numbers were different too, but I don't remember what it was.
