When i get around to flowering will CFL's help? Which type should i get? and how many would you add? My electricity bill is sky rocketing do i need my 400w halide in flower?

thanks.

EDIT.. as usual I've read the answer before anyone (excluding ray) posts :) so i'm gonna add some warm fluorescents in there for the flowering stage and leave the MH on (i may drop this to a smaller Wattage ... 250 maybe ... will have to see what i can get my hands on ...or should i leave it at 400W??

So if i add some CFL's, which wattage and how many should i put in my box? Should i wait till i know how many are Female?

Here are my choices:-

2700K very warm white

11W lamp (630 lumens)
15W Lamp (900 lumens)
20W lamp (1200 lumens)
23 Watt (1500 lumens)
30 Watt (900 lumens)


Thanks.

I've downloaded a grow guide it seems to answer most of my recent unanswered questions... (the FAQ helps somewhat but can be 1 dimensional and not very clear)

I guess i either word things incorrectly making my question unanswerable or no ones interested in helping poor old me out! Either way from now on I'm not wasting time typing questions into this post (or any other on here):twisted:

I shall post my grow till i crop in picture format with little information as to not help others (which seems to be the rule of thumb on here) :roll:

Over and out.:sleep:

Yeah they're stretched because i started them from seed in the green house for the first 6 weeks with not a lot of sun to help them grow. (I won't make that mistake next time)

HPS is out of the question unfortunately:(

Won't adding some warm florescents help with the flowering stage?

ONE HUNDRED AND TEN DEGREE'S NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The temps are up again, all I've done is re-pot the horrible little bitches :twisted:

I think i'm going to have to drop down in wattage to cool the fuckers. I've got a 150 MH and a 150 HPS Lamp but i wasn't going to put them into flower till the weekend as i have to change the ballast and i don't have the time till then.

will 3 days of these temps just before i begin flower be drastic?

We had a few days of hot weather which played hell with my temps..everything is ok temp wise now and i'm putting into flower tonight.

Another problem now..Im hoping this is caused from the excess heat but could be some kind of nute problem??
One plant is showing this on most of the top 3/4 of the plant another has it on the very top canopy.

Please let me know what you think???

They have all showed sex, 6 Female, 4 Males.... The males are now compost and the females can breath again(space was tight).

The 2 that had suffered from my cab's heat problems were male :hump:

Happy with 6..any more may have been a problem any less might have not been worth the hassle.

Off away for a few days i'll post a pic when i return.
