No... more of an act of encouragement. That growing weed isn't hard. That anyone can do it, with basic shit everyone has around the house. Before I started I thought u needed all that expensive shit( hps, mh bulbs, reflectors, exhaust, etc. ) so I never tried it when I was younger even tho I always wanted. Granted you'll end up with better outcome with hid lighting but for your everyday stoner, who just wants some free nug, it's not necessary.In an act of stubbornness
Your a troll let people grow how they want you run around cfl section patrollingthe net. Trying to force people to grow MH and hps chill dudeIn an act of stubbornness?
nice job, good looking plants.
that being said, it does seem a little futile. cfls will grow weed, but t5's are an order of magnitude better, and leds and hids are an order of magnitude beyond that.....
if you're just starting out, you can get decent results with what you have on hand, but i don't know anyone whose started with cfls and stayed there past the first run or two. for a reason.
That's what I did in my first grow, cfls, blurpie type light, then qb288 135w kit... Got me this... Cfls got me started though...Well since current run still in week 5, have gone back to jars
from a couple years ago of a CFL grow found on this forum.
They were good for the time and through the process of doing
a DIY project(s) for Vero cobs and beyond...
The point... the buds were very light compared to the later LED runs.
Still do the job but LED delivers frost and dense. Can't compare the
two - watt for watt - just what gets by until better comes along...
Shit's awesome!!! Hat's off to the cfl grow!!!My latest indoor cfl grow. Bag seed.
What varieties did you have there? Some of the nicest led chunkers I have seen to dateThat's what I did in my first grow, cfls, blurpie type light, then qb288 135w kit... Got me this... Cfls got me started though... View attachment 4223975
Im having hell keeping stable temps with cfl. Im unsure what I want to use. I could do LED grow light bulbs mixed with my T5 for supplement lighting on the side. Still waiting on my inline duct booster fan. To help push airflow through my inline duct booster fan. Because a lot of lumens are lost with LED grow light panels. An I think light bulbs will be able to get closer to the plant an use more lumens.I have a dual spectrum CFL light and so far i prefer it to MH/HPS because of the heat. First I grew local seed and it was shit. Bought some seeds online and they smell like our local hydro which is inbred incested shit. Ppl just want to get stoned but educating ppl down here is a huge challenge. Will post pic updates asap, loveing these photos on this site..
Encouraging people to use CFL is just stupid. For a while, CFL made sense for people that couldn't risk shopping anywhere other than a normal hardware store.
