word man... plan on getting a couple splitter and maybe 2 more giant cfl's...will put up pics when its all done.
i plann on turning this into a little journal
 
I highly recommend two more CFLs. You have sufficient lighting I suppose but who knows what 2 extra lights will do to your yield if they are positioned in the sweet spot. Lookin good though.

who knows what 3 or 4 more will do lol...it would be like putting her on steroids
 
Tranq-
Darn good looking plants for cfls! :hump::joint:

How about some particulars?
Growing in a cab? tent? out in open?
Using them short spiral / coil looking bulbs I assume(?).


Was going to go with CFLs, but talked myself out of it (I think).
Been considering a 250 / 400 HPS. But I still like the cfl idea the best. Just concerned about how well they truely work. You look like you've got the grist down pat on them.
Whenever I see cfl photos like yours I start to thing things over again.
So,, how'e you do it? :confused:

thanks man
im growing a cabinet about 4ft tall and 1 1/2ft wide...was already painted too but added a lil bit of tin foil.
ya spirals are legit
i will get some pics up soon.
i am wanting a 150w hps and a couple of giant cfls for 2-3 plants...gotta wait till i got enough money.
actually i started this plant on 1 26w cfl as kind of like a low priority...was treating it badly. then once the plant started smelling like skunk i made it a high priority and turned out to be pretty good. low maintinance too
 
hey guys though i would upload more pictures because i just found this 22w bar like cfl to replace the 13w...and i am now using it as a side light.

With CFL's 32-42w are the most efficient bang for your buck. I lucked into a 150w HPS for my current grow and it's been good to my plant so far. Still using a couple of 32w 2700k CFL's for side lighting, but I'm having a lot of PH and EC issues in my hydro setup.

That said, good looking grow so far man. I hope my plants get back to looking as healthy as yours !
