This may be some helpful info. CFL Efficency: CFL's higher than a 55W start to loose their Lumen per Watt RATIO SIGNIFICENTLY. Here's a modified chart from another thread. I added some extra calculations for your refrence.

CFL Lumens/Watt Ratio

Lum/1Watt
150w - 52.667 - 7900 Lumen
105w - 65.714 - 6900 Lumen
85w - 58.823 - 5000 Lumen
65w - 52.308 - 3400 Lumen
55w - 65.454 - 3600 Lumen
42w - 66.667 - 2800 Lumen
40w - 66.25 - 2650 Lumen
32w - 65.625 - 2100 Lumen
30w - 66.667 - 2000 Lumen
27w - 64.815 - 1750 Lumen
23w - 69.565 - 1600 Lumen **** These are VERY Efficent****


Say you had 5 of these 30 watt bulbs:


That would still be 150 watts, but these put out 2000 lumens each, so that would be 10,000 lumens for 150w instead of 7900 for a single 150w.
Also the advantage of better coverage and direct penetration from the bulb. Rather than a reflector. With every extra inch of light travel from a cfl, the more dramatically the penetration effectiveness is decreased. The short of it, smaller more efficent bulbs, and more of them does give you an advantage.

Thanks. How much longer do you have on your cure.

They are cured up my man... I would say you have over 12 grams there bro... are they rock hard nuggets?

Thanks. Thats about what I was thinking. The buds are pretty dense except for a couple bottom buds but you know how that is Im sure. I just wake and baked with a bud that was clipped last week and it is pretty good. It is super sticky and I know it is going to improve after a proper cure.

Ive learned since then that it is better to do a graft. It was going dormant whenever I tried to clone the first time. Next time I'm going to try cloning at the beginning of spring.

Two strains in the AG at one time is a pain because they share one reservoir but they may have different needs.

they say to do one strain at a time becuase diff. strains need diff things...it easy to obtain a greener garden wen only one strain is being grown. pluss dif. strains finish at dif. times...my medical grow out in vt had 9 diff. strains goin at once...it was a little harder but its not like it cant b done...its just easier to work with one set of genetics at a time
