that set ups pretty fucking legit man. I like how you have your cfl's hanging from chains like that. you're the first person I've seen to do that. probably the cleanest cfl setup I've seen. +rephave some pics in veg as im not flowering yet. 208w total vegging 5 plants. 4x 5500k and 4x 6500k
first two were taken about an hour ago. third was taken 4 days ago
thanks alot man. so many other cfl growers use their lights vertical pointing at the plant. i just wanted to try something new and have them hanging directly horizontal to the plant making it more efficient. having them on a chain makes them easier to lift/lower as well. all in all im using every minute as a learning experience as this is my first grow. check out my journal in my sigthat set ups pretty fucking legit man.

Mine were plenty tight, not the heaviest I've seen (given Im just going through my first grow now, and it was a hard road, so I got great results in my case). ive learned you can never have enough or too many, keep em close as possible.i see a lot of people the fuck up a cfl gro but a lot of people do really good under cfl why
HPS people say that you cant get tight budz from cfls but this is not true i ve seen with my own eyes tight budz
if you have flowered under cfl please ues this thread to help prove my point
post only pics that where flowered under cfls
cfl is an art form any one can grow under an hps but it takes a artist to grow under cfls
you have to realy know you subject. now this is not a thread for bashing hps.
that will come later, LOL, but really as soon as i get me $ right i ma get a 400w maybe 2
now post your cfl pics
just finished second harvest with 6 48 watt cfls. bud smelled amazing, lemony smell(from bagseed) had all these amazing hairs that were covered in crystal, but airy as fuck! under all those hairs was like a mid sized airy nug, each cola. and i had them sooo close the whole time and used some bomb nutes. all i can can conclude that cfls produce airy buds that smell nice but disappear quick. still great if your broke though might switch to 250 hps see if i get dense buds....Mine were plenty tight, not the heaviest I've seen (given Im just going through my first grow now, and it was a hard road, so I got great results in my case). ive learned you can never have enough or too many, keep em close as possible.
80 26w will do very well, the bigger the better on the CFLs tho.
CFLs do suck the juice tho 80 26w CFLs use 28amps alone. 1.13amps for the 68w ones I got 60amps available in a 125amp panel.
