Bump! Looking forward to this new forum becoming a reality soon! I like the *idea* of HID; but LOVE the price, ease of design, lack of heat, and everything else associated with CFL growing. It's kinda the divide between the hobby growers and the closet "weed barons". No offense to the HID guys, but I have 4 kids to raise and no money for dual 600watt HID sodium systems. I would rather spend the $600 on nuts, passive hydro, and 4 150watt CFL's!

Peace amigos!

I just want to say i have 3 CFL's that are helping my two babies grow! 1 that I know now is a Female and the other is a little sluggish. They work GREAT! I wired them all together and the light is balanced perfectly, I should have pics up soon.

It was really easy because I was able to change my lights from veg to flowering very easily. I like the set up because its compact and you can hide everything very nicely. My set up is only in about a 3ft x 1.5 foot book shelf and I am really happy with my results.

The plant has actually grown two tiers to every one that it is suppose to grow, and the stalk is increadably hearty.

KEEP IT UP CFL's!

I got 3 42 watt Cfl's, one for every plant inside one of them metal domes from home depot. Two 20 watt cfls hanging halfway down the plant in a worklight fixture. I tell ya what, little money, little heat, Greeaaat for a closet grower. I got 3 Red Shiva 4 foot high, they are just starting to stop stretching. Buds are tiny right now but they will grow to OK size with medium density soon! PEACE!!

 

[Humboldt]

I will post my crappy pics of my CFL grow. I can say one thing to CFL growers.....patience is a must. The right spectrums for the different vegetative and flowering phase is hard to find. Only the lower kelvins here in my area (reds) good for flower, so i used them in conjunction with 4 ft tubes. Im about 3 days from the harvest now im waiting for about 50% of tris to go amber. Buds are loose due to CFL, not eonugh light penetration. In my opinion i would have saved time, and money using a MH/HPS. So im gonna invest, HTG supply nice site. I will Use 400 watt MH/ 8 26 watt CFL 12 4 ft floro tubes and a 400 watt HPS
for 4 plants. I can maximize size and get mass bud per plant.
Feel free to msg me

Great Idea humboldt. a place were you could ask a simple CFL lighting question and not get a million replies about switching to HID's or how superior they are BLAH BLAH BLAH. A place to get answers

Very true!!! Can somebody direct me into a good forum about CFL other than Roseman's @ Purpdaddy. More knowledge and opinion them better. I'm here to learn. I'm new to this culture, I know nothing. Growing is in my Future!
