Yeah.......In the book 'Buds For Less' that guy Seemorebuds pulled 8 oz from 168w of CFLs. I wouldnt rule out CFLs. If you can't work them, that is fine. But to say that they arent sufficient enough to get a good yield is really just dumb. I have seen good yields with CFLs from more than one grower. You just have to know what you are doing. Most people try to grow with CFLs like you would grow with HID.......that just never works out. If you have the money though, I would say buy HPS for flowering. CFLs tack on like an extra 7-10 days of flowering from what I have seen.


There is no right way to grow. Everybody does things for a purpose.
I use CFLs for seedlings/clones/mothers, HID for veg, and natural sunlight for flowering.

Whatever floats your boat people.

And yeah......people bash newbs for asking questions........wtf type of shit is that? I mean yeah.......I have seen some stupid ass "?'s" asked......but alot of the questions are very reasonable and they just need help......why put somebody down and not try to pick them up? And not everybody is so hip to the interwebz, which makes it harder to find the answer to their question......hence the reason they post threads with questions.

I guess some people are just natural trolls and can't help but to put others down to make their self feel better.

guys, why so hostile. obviously you both have different opinions. why does it have to get shitty, at the end of the day i got a hps because i was lazy. there is a lot of light movement involved with cfls. but you can get equal if not more yeild with an equal amount of watts. 10 23/26w cfls can and has produced the same if not more bud than a 250w hps because of the maneuverability of the bulbs and the spaced out light exposure. but at the same time when done properly i have seen a guy produce 5 1/2 oz off of one plant with a 250w hps. agree to disagree and smoke a doober and chill man. this is meant to be a help and discussion forum, not a flame everyone who doesnt agree with you forum.
