OK, now for the info.
- Lighting Setup (amount of bulbs etc..) = Quick answer, 21. Long answer, 4 florescent tubes, 4 "spot lights" 2 directly on top of the 2 plants and 2 on bottom, 12 hanging and one big ass one in the center it's a 66watt
- Spectrum used / PAR, if known = ???
- Wattage used = all toll, 523watts (Not equivalent, but actual watts)
- Reflector used = 4, 2 on top and 2 on bottom
- All photoperiods (veg, flower, any additional changes during veg or flower) = ???
Next grow, I'm keeping the 4 tubes and the 2 on bottom, dropping all the other cfl's and going over to a 400watt HID!!!

Where the F is the CFL Crew Misshester? I'm calling you out!!!!!! Lets see some complete bud shots!!!!!
Looking good, Budforless, glad to see some decent looking buds from cfls . what strain is that? I understand why you wont be using cfls again though. so much hassle of moving them around . my friend has a cfl set up which i was checking for him when on holiday. He's just bought a metal halide (a great idea in my opinion) growth just seemed soooo slow.

Thanks for the complement. Strain is that wonderful "bag seed", and yes adjusting the lights is a big pain in the ass. Another problem with cfl's is they don't penetrate far enough down the plant. I have a book by SeeMoreBuds called "Marijuana Buds for Less" and in that book he states "cfl's are not good for plants over 20 inches" Well my plants are like 5 feet. If I hade enough room on the sides of the plants I could position the lights along the side, but as you can tell from my pics, I cant do that...

here's my setup
2 24" growth floro's, 2 cfl's 26watt (one daylight and one soft white)
I used schultz 20-30-20 when vegging, and Miracle grow 15-30-15 for flowering. Oh yeah when vegging i used another 2x24" grolux floro's and 2 daylight cfl 26watt
these pics are from the 4th week of flowering(and after i decided to trim the fan leaves
, theres an open discusion on that lol) so far i'm starting week 6, the buds are bigger and have slowly started to turn brownish. I'm guessing i have about 2 weeks left in my grow. I'll post pis of the buds when i've trimmed them

Actually I have. It's kinda hard to see in the pic, but if you look closely you can see 2 in the back and the start of 2 on the door (the door is open but I caught the start of those 2 on the side of the first pic.) Its just hard always adjusting the lights. And from what I have herd and seen, I can go over to a 400 or 600 watt HID and have 1 light to adjust and that light will penetrate all the way down the plant. I'm not totally complaining, but I just think an HID would be easier and provide "Better BUD" However, for veg, I think cfl's are awesome. There cheaper to run and they throw more than enough light.
