I am someone who has too much free time on his hands due to being medically retired for back problems. I love learning new things and researching theories. Recently I was blown away by a book called "Buds for Less" It is a cfl grow guide.
I have grown hydro before in an NFT system. (Not impressed) After reading the book I decided to test the theory. One thing I notice on these cfl grows is that lots of people use the 26 watt setup. I would tell anyone to use the 43 watt. 2700 lumens!!! If you are gonna go this route why not get the most you can.
But the one thing I see is setups with 6- 8 bulbs. I paid almost 9 dollars for the 43. At that price, you can get 150hps for about the same. Check out htgsupply.com. And check out ebay.
I am not knocking the system because cfls have there advantages. They run cool for one. Also every one is not trying to be "Frank Lucas". If you do not know who he is, never mind.
I am in search of some yield result stories. Does anyone have any? Hell I say if you can grow under a flashlight, It beats buying. Just my 2 cents
