you might get a few more grams but thats about it sorry man. as for the led might be just about the same as a 13w. for your next grow try getting a 2 or 3 spot grow led bulbs to go along with your cfl's might get you a better yield, also try doubling up the amount of cfls for veg and quadruple for flower you will see a bigger improvement.

ebay a 150w hps you can find them super super cheap and they have almost 10x the amount of light you would get with those cfls

i just dont get the logic of these cfl growers 0.o
cfl isnt very logical unless you plan ahead and you really have to plan. like where am i going to place so and so lights in relevance to these lights, then it comes down to what size space are you using and how much are you hoping to yield. if your expecting a half pound out of cfls you would need almost triple the wattage of what you would need in hid. for pcbox and closet growers cfl is the way to go but dont set your hopes too high

Rob I got all my light besides the 42w for free and the 42 was 11$ so if I could get a hps/my setup for 11$ id be all ears.
well its ur choice man 11 doller dim bag aint bad i rekon 3-4 ouces for 30 40 bucks sound better to me but any who have fun with them cfls i just dont think they cut the mustard at all

I have six plants one of which is flowering with pistils on all four nodes but only 9.0 cm tall. Did I mess up my plant by being careless with the light cycle. Meaning I didn't gradually do anyyhing straight from a 24 cycle to n10/14di got pics

i built this for vegging in cost me $14 exact to build, this one measure 15"x11"x9" i used it to hold my lights as close as possible around the plant. I to live in an apt and know the space constraints, i really feel ya on that one so yes logically cfl would be the way to go for you.

actually rob333 the led spot bulbs out perform cfl's anyday since they have the usable light for the wattage

Id rather be running hps I wish I could. Its far out of the question . So no led will give any results? Im in a 6 sided end table no more than 21in from side to side and prob same height. . Price isnt a set back its the heat that is. Im not growin to sell I smoke the shit so anything to lower costs of budim all in.

I would be interested in making one of those scree! Just upscale it a tad and use it thru veg/flower.
