  • how long was the whole grow?

  • nice you did a good job

  • I was under the impressing that florescent light did not cover the red side of the spectrum enough to stimulate a plant to flower. This is the first I have heard of florescent light successfully producing buds.

  • check out Autofloweringweed channel ! The guy really knows how to maximize CFL growing.

  • you cant use cfl and no nutes and get buds that good

  • @TheBlueAero Strait up, Fact. I agree

  • i have a ? did it take a long time for your first pistol's to show ? cause i went for 2 and a half weeks before i started over cause i thought i heat stressed my plant.will high heat like above 95 slow the flowering stage down?

  • how many watts of cfl did u use? an answer would be much appreciated man

  • how long you veg her?

  • how long did u flower for hmu

  • Check out my CFL grow videos..

  • i jizzed in my pant when i saw that great big flower

  • nice, i'm starting a cfl sativa grow, only 3 plants.

    1. Laughing Buddha

    2. X-Line Haze

    3. Blackberry

    just wondering if you have any tips, cuz i really cant find any info on growing sativa's with cfl's

  • @117Equinox get a lot of them and stick them really close to the plant

  • How many CFL's??? Looks like a good harvest

  • nice buds brah

  • how long did you cure

  • what was the final dry weight?

  • I use a four foot duel bulb florescent fixture, two 175 watt cfl., and like for 25 watt cfls. and have great results. but have no idea how many lumens or watts that is all together. enough, I know that much.

  • lol pretty good for a cfl grow an those buds look hella dank!

  • what type of nutes did you use for veg?

  • @bobwaters420 No nutrients for the whole grow

  • @420TOK3R nicee!

  • nice plant fun to grow

  • CFLS ARE AN LED GROWERS HERO I SEE THIS 1 GUY SAYING LED GROW ON HERE BUT I LOOKED AND HE RAN 90LED WATTS AND 180CFL WATTS?CFLS

    OWN ON LEDS HA

  • GREAT BUDS!!!

  • Defoliation technique?

  • But if you had grown that with an HID, it would have yielded top shelf, instead of mids.

  • ok im hating, lol

  • i woulda flippd that in a day ££££

  • I lol @ peopel who still use hps and mh...haha i hope u jerks enjoy paying 2000 each month on power

  • @Frankii3 Moron

  • @Frankii3 i run a 600 watt light 24/7 in my veg room, that costs me abut $40 a month my flower room has a 600 watt light that runs 13 hours on 11 hours off and that costs about $22 a month, with the amount i harvest its worth it lol and the quality. CFLs are great for ppl who are on a budget and with proper methods can work well but MH and HPS lights have higher Lumen per Watt ratios and since we pay the same for electricity used its more efficient to use MH and HPS if using same amount of watts

  • @Cryptlord9999 number one why the hell would you waste money on 24/7 veg with MH, there is a point with HIDs where the plant just needs to sleep and extra hours are almost wasted. and why do we all flower on 12/12 because thats how mother nature is and cannabis reacts a whole lot quicker and better, one hour off will not make of difference other than slowing your growth because the plant cannot produce the essencial sugars and foods needs to hit max potential. i admire your

  • @420Mrkushy I only do 24/7 veg for my indica plants and thats because they are not kept in veg for very long, i do 13 hours on 11 hours off because if the plant has more light energy then its creating more sugars etc to use during the night cycle and will grow faster and larger, you need only reduce the light enough to force flower and some strains will flower better under different conditions. 12/12 light cycle is what most ppl use for a light cycle because it simplifies their grows more.

  • @420Mrkushy ....Also if your growing and prefer sativa plants as i do, then you will find the best light cycles for sativa plants which originate closer to the equator to be for veg 13 hours light 11 hours darkness and for flowering 11 hours light 13 hours darkness as this is what they are genetically used to being exposed to, this is just a general light cycle for sativa's, you will get slightly taller plants and lose a very small amount of weight but increase overall quality by a ton.

  • @Cryptlord9999 curiousity for testing and sticking with growing though. im not trying to bash on you, just simply trade knolege to other growers cause i respect them all. been at this since 15 and its all i know and couldnt imagine doing different.

  • @Frankii3 sorry bud, but you are wrong. Watt per Watt hps and mh are much more cost effective. (you pay per kilo watt hour)

  • @Frankii3 its not that expensive to run hps. a 600 watt adds about 15-20 a month which isnt alot unless your poor

  • @Frankii3 actually it only cost at the max 200 a month to run my room at a 8 weeks flower, hitting about a p. every two months. when switching to HID from CLF its mostly about having a faster turn around a growth. other than that CLFs are perfect for personal grows or people not in a hurry to pay bills lol.

  • @Frankii3 i lol at ppl with shitty airy buds under cfls!

  • @Frankii3 lol at the ppl using cfls wishing they had hps buds!

  • how many CFL bulbs did you use on this man? also, i heard you had to use different cfl lights during flowering stage? enlighten me with some details would be appreciated!

  • nice bro

  • sweet fucking plant

  • nice yield. how long did you flower for. i just havested my 2 northern lights under CFL's. check out my vid

  • Either some of you fuckers have never grown weed before, or could be just plain out stupid. CFL lights are some of the best ways of growing weed the cheapest and "eco-friendly" way. The 23 watt buld (100 watts) put out about 1750 lumes., 4 of them in a 5x 5x room would grow a perfect size plant. its not about the light all the time, its also about the soil, water, and foods you give it.

  • @MegaCRuffy naw u gotta use alot of cfls, like more than 4 23 watt bulbs for every like 2 sq ft

  • hey just wanted to find out what was ur light setup like how many cfls and wattage and kelvin ur info will be appreaciated very very much

  • Nice!!!!!!yo

  • what about 1 6400k 30cm long cfl ? for jus one plant

  • how the fuck can a plant have so mannny nugs? nice

  • how long did u veg for.. like months lol. im just like woo damn.. either u vegged that in the sun like i did mine or... im imagining if that thing is grown completely under floro it mustv taken forever.. my plant is doing good but its taking a good minute too.. i wanna put like a 100 watt hps in my cabinet but ive already got like 180 watts of actual floro.. so idk.. cfl works for sure.. if you use a lot and use ventilation.. stealth grows are usually crappy do to circumstances

  • I just have to clear it up. More bulbs EQUALS MORE LUMENS. there is an added factor in light. the easy analogy would be to water, IF you were able to make water more "intense" somehow. like 1cc of water is 1cc of water and is basically uncompressible, light DOESNT work that way. "1cc" of light needs another description for how dense that light energy (not to mention its inherent characteristics) is for the analogy to work. some plants prefer "dense" light, not just lots of spread out light.

  • "lumens" is just a definition that says NOTHING about how "dense" that light is. i could have 1000000 lumens at a mile distance; whats that? a nightlight? we would need to go thru some basic geometry and some slightly less basic theory to come to the exact reason why 1000 lumens being emitted FROM an area of 1000 sq ft is useless for growing plants but 1000 lumens emitted from a source the size of a sand grain would be quite a bit more useful than "1000 lumens" would suggest. if you follow.

  • Blueberridutch has a point. Bud nice ass cola man. one love

  • nice job mate how long it take i wounder

  • @skeptimist71 man thats how I been thinking but thats why I have fixutres on the bottom shooting upwards as well I figure it gives me a balance in the middle and the mylar surrounding the walls seems to be targeting all my nodes well... I dunno im a hands on learner you know one of those dumb "potheads" so I guess ill c where my work gets me my plant grown for pure medical purposes only by the way.

  • @skeptimist71 not to spoil the love but i think we disagree slightly :) more bulbs equals more lumens. fact. luminous flux is the measure of light passing thru a closed sphere/ part of one surrounding the source. more bulbs in there, more lumens in there. the candela measures the intensity IN a direction, key being the intensity, "light on target". lumens is total light flux from a source at any distance. same bottom line tho. no part of that cfl is very bright, a long 'dim' tube...get it close

  • Comment removed

  • @skeptimist71 DAMN!!!!

  • u lucky basterd lol hahahaha

  • wow all from cfl....intresting.........lol

  • Comment removed

  • It's all about how close you keep the lights to the plants

  • yummy!

  • Thats mad bud son

  • Comment removed

  • @GmanG1987 not tru at all. gosh ppl need to get that right. the issue with softer light sources is NOT that your lumen count stays TOTAL what one bulb is rated. thats retarded. so, 2, 1000WHID lamps only produce the same lumens as one? or does the backwards logic ONLY apply to cfls? its a common misconception that the issue is lumens; its penetration. soft lights spread out the SOURCE of the light, there is no bright POINT source. weed likes that blazing sun, so plants respond better to it

  • @TheiRenaissance te way the light is spread by soft light has nothing to do with anything lmfao, the color temp and lumens is what you're looking at

  • @krypekeeper penetration is key. if no light gets in, PAST the outer plant parts, then OH WELL no growth. ive grown with NOT ENOUGH PENETRATION. it really comes down to that. you can pile cfls all over a plant and get penetration or leds, or an HID its up to you, but really it comes down to not only the color, the lumens, but also the penetration. HOW DEEEEEP can your light get. as the buds grow, if there is DARK inside......... lots of soft lumens CAN or CANNOT equal ANYTHING

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @krypekeeper youve responded. you might be able to just stack cfl all over a plant so that penetration is achieved. but i pray you invest the money in what youre saying so youre as confident as i am ^.^ i know cfls, leds, hids. berries, much like canni, require that nasty harsh light of hid or better yet sun. the berries dont do as much as "harsh light grown" plants. they dont. this crop is the same.

  • Videos like this would be much more helpful if the description included the following:What strain are you using? If you got the seeds online, from whom? How did you germinate the seeds? How long before you added nutrients? How much lighting are you using? Describe your nutrients, and where did you get it? Describe your growing medium...deep water culture, soil, etc. Do you test for PH and PPM or just run things on auto-pilot? Do a smoke test and honestly describe the end product. Thanks....

  • @Blueberridutch FAIL

  • @420TOK3R Agree

  • @420TOK3R what did u yield my friend??

  • @Blueberridutch divvie corse it same plant foolllll

  • @Blueberridutch

    Dont HATEEE

  • @Blueberridutch i dont believe you can apreciate anything without looking like a douchenozzle

  • @Blueberridutch i thot the same thing man, but honestly i truely believe its the real deal. Great Grow 420TOK3R!!! Church!

  • I like ur harvest.

    now... can I have some?

    ship it to UK n I'll peek it up.

    thx

  • where are the rest of em

  • ...hot garbage light, that actually mimix the sun spectrum a little better than the highly targeted LED spectrums or the ultimately less intense/effective flouro tech... HID just makes the plant feel more like makin fruit or pot or whatever. like comfort food maybe? not sure how to convey it exactly but you can grow most things with most kinds of reasonable light technology, its just a matter of what you got, what you want, and where you wanna go with it all.... stay safe

  • I dont have data for you all, but ive grown indoors with LED CFL and HID. GOOD! (I'd rec prosourceworldwide myself) LED is simply the most efficient probably healthiest veg light you can get, CFL is pretty good (same with linears) for veg as well, tho i must say that the best ive ever seen ANY kinda plant look was under a mix of 1 good tri or five band LED and two small 65k CFLs...ive dabbled in fruit growing, and i think this applies here, some things just love that harsh lumen rich, hot.....

  • It is nothing to do with LUMENS, it's to do with PAR (photosynthetically active radiation)..

    Do your homework people, from decent sources please, before blabbering around giving out bad info!

  • @Ribbotic

    Wow mr. guru...no one gives a fuck. Take your self righteous attitude and shove it up your ass.

    no ones going to go measuring their PAR for a closet grow lmao. Stupid fuckin moron.

  • @refuckulate420 if u want to do it right u should, You tube really, need to block unnecesary commits, its just rediculous how people carry on, I guess thats why I only read forums, because ignorante resonse just take up to much space. I swear just like little girly kids......if u don't want the knowledge then don't take it.

  • that cola looks like my dick

  • @sas103 The small ones at the bottom?

  • @sas103 SEE SHIT LIKE THIS...KIDS.

  • What was your final dry yield on that plant under CFL?

  • how much cfl lighting mate

  • nice

  • Look at the cfl's lumens and then look at the HID, light distance is key. If you can't get your HID nice and close it wont do anything special. but if you get your hid 10 inches or less from your plant without stressing them they will blow any cfl grow away, probably double it.

  • hi i have a 400 wat hps and i can get 7 plants yielding around 40 grams each, and thats only in a 3'x4' closet, grown in hempy buckets with 25 percent coco 75 percent perlite( this hempy method is even easier than soil(for efficiency) in my opinion use google). Dont bother with cfl's for flowering unless your grow space is even smaller than mine.

  • if this stuff beats sodium, then it's obviously the cheapest way to go. In my opiinion, it doesn't. Somebody can you maybe prove me wrong?

  • i got 1 plant on a 200 watt cfl b'cuzz bloom n biobizz grow nutrients and im useing monkey mix soil what do u think my yeild will be?/

  • @xRM5BOIx nc a

  • some green looking fire. wonder how it taste?

  • were can u get hps lights?

  • from the internetz.

  • @330bonethug look on Ebay under 'sodium 600'

  • thats whats up how many cfls you run? how many hours on / off??

  • Hey now I know where the nipper comes from!! The CFL grow ops lol.

  • how long are you supposed to let it cure after you harvest the buds?

  • it don't matter the longer the better but be carefull of mold it's a bitch

  • as long as u want...depends how harsh or smooth u like ur smoke atleast a couple weeks id say, crack the lid open for 5 min a day to let out the moisture tho

  • 2-3 weeks.

  • whats your size of cfls lites

  • after u dry ur haunty out it stil has moisture inside it.curling it balances the moisture frm inside to outside and of course taste/aroma n smell even the stone.the longer u can keep the erb in the jars the taster the smoke in every way will be much better

  • Curing preserves the moisture in buds,

    thus preserving taste, look, and aroma.

  • @ic300x how do you cure?

  • @prosecutor10

    simple leave the buds in a air tight mason jar

    and once every day take off the cap so fresh air

    can get in for about 5-15 minutes

  • @ic300x

    Correction,

    Curing rid's the bud of moisture...

  • @ic300x You should not post comments like that if you have no idea what you're talking about kid. That is not the purpose of curing, it's a chemical process you idiot. You just made yourself look like a douche, along with the 2 others who gave your dumbass a thumbs up. Do your research kids.

  • nice looking bud sweet grow lol

  • how much did that main khola weigh in prolly like a half o

  • props for a great cfl harvest

  • curing makes for alot smother smoke and taste bro i definitley recomend it to any grower harvesting

  • makes it smoke up niiiice

  • @MsPurplewreck Not exactly. It is a common misconception that more wattage=more yield, but the real deal is that it is all about lumen. You are right in a way though. 6x68w=300w would put out about 23,400 lumen. His 6 23w only put out around 8,700 lumen. I'd say get 3 68w at 2700K and 3 68w at 6500K. So you'd have 11,700 lumen of red and 11,700 lumen of blue. Keeping in mind you want about 2,500 lumen per sq ft. You could grow around 9 plants with 6 of those 68w cfls.

  • @Nexalli lmao lumens plants dont see lumens we do moron its measured as visible light....my plants dont have eyes do yours, can you send me a clone or seed form your plants with eyes, iam sorry dont post this huge comment like you didn knowing jack shit about plants at all. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is as nice as i can be right now. You confuse ppl with this shit.

  • Comment removed

  • @Nexalli LMAO another Lumens guy Omg, Just die Lumen guys stop spreading lies. Lumens are for visible light! do your plants have eyes?!

  • @Nexalli yh well ive grown weed with 40 watt bulb witch puts out 410 lumens and thts working jus fine

  • @Nexalli sorry men but lumens do not add up.....

  • @Nexalli lumens dont stack noob

  • @Nexalli dude well chick you are way off base on lumen required on this i use a base of 10,000 lumens per square foot this is most cfl base for decent yield 2500 lumens will get you almost nothing but a fiber plant lmfao

  • @clownfreak9000 10,000 lumens is what the sun puts out yes thats what we want in a ideal grow room but that is not the minimum to grow dank buds. But yes 2,500 lumens is shit.

  • this makes me wanna cry. i havent smoked for 2 months. MY TOWN IS DRY:(

  • Move to Mendocino county, California..they give away good weed here :P

  • i cant wait to move there!

  • how the fuck is ur whole town dry

    that shit sucks bro my town doesnt go dry luckily or at least it hasnt the last 5 years i been smoking

  • @jahmaaaan i live in iowa mann. theres more meth than anything unfortunatly

  • what weight did u get

  • @BITDktmguy450, you sound like a moto cross rider so with that said i hope you die a slow painful firey death while crashin your KTM 450 in to a barn, you fuckin bastard, he removed it im thinking because he realized it made him look like a childish douche bag point taken CHAINLINKDREAMS later kiddo

  • Comment removed

  • how long was the whole process with them CPL lights?

  • looks like good bud sweet!!

  • what kind of CFL's are these..did you use two different bulbs or types of CFL's for flowering and veg or the same?

  • WOW all that with 6 23w=100w CFL,s Imagine if he used 6 68w=300w 2700k cfl grow lights you can get on ebay instead... 3 times the wattage = 3 times the budage!

  • @BITDktmguy450, you sound like a moto cross rider so with that said i hope you die a slow painful firey death while crashin your KTM 450 in to a barn, you fuckin bastard,

  • Nice grow

  • Damn. People need to grow up. Anyway, how many watts of CFL's did you use for this grow?? Looks pretty decent for CFL.

  • thanx spike6464

  • question can you not use nutes in the beginning then use the blooms nutes when it flowers us wondering if that would work????

  • no, nutes are not needed, just grow them intil they are kinda tall and give them nutes, or just grow them in soil with nutes if u use hydro, well,.......

  • @unearth125 Using nutes in the beginning is normally not a good idea. Most of the time depending on soil choice their is already nutes in the soil which will last for 2 weeks to a month. After about that long you can start using nutes, just dont over feed!

  • thanx spike 6464

  • nice job. i use 4 6500k cfls with a mix of another 6 2700k cfls for flowering. works great. i get results like this and i dont use c02 just bud boom. get it at any hydroponics store

  • did you use any CO2?

  • wow you got alot of action of the lower branches.. is that straight soil or a medium nute feed?

  • Nice harvest for 1 plant on cfls.

    I got about ounce and a half on my first harvest with cfls.....

    did you use any CO2

  • will i be able to flower my plants with only florescent lights?

  • yes but you will want as many lumens and watts as possible

  • doesnt matter anymore, i was caught..

  • oh shit by who your parents or cops?

  • my mom found out about it cause she was going thru my phone, so she got the clue and then she went thru my apartment and found them, so i had to kill the platns. it was very fucking sad. i kissed all the plants goodbye.

    RIP.

  • If its your appartment why is she snooping around there?

  • i woulda told my mom to eat a dick for being nosy and going through MY SHIT and moved em in case she told the 5 O

    and shit i love my mom but thats none of her business....... shit

  • I show my mom every time she comes over... she thinks my lil plants are cute.

  • thats fuckin awesom.

  • wait you said "my"? meaning YOUR fucking house not your moms wow your a fucking pussy.

  • i dont have a house, i have an apartment. im not a pussy, i fuck you mom at least once a week for 12 hours straight. fucking dogy style, push up stule, bendy style, dirty sanchez, everything in the book, and that bitch loves it. to bad your dad cant satisfy your mumy , go to bed

  • hahaha i needed that thank you.

  • no problem.

  • wow man im not involved in this but by the way you talk and by this comment about "fucking someones mom" i would have to say you are any where from 15 to 17 years old and not a very bright 15 to 17 year old at that if you want to seem older seem more intelligent i know for someone like you that may be difficult but anythings worth a shot

  • Im getting down to his/ her level, shut the fuck up

  • getting down to someone elses level huh? interesting "shut the fuck up" wow thats an intelligent thing to say are you sinking to my level too? the best way to shut someone up is to out wit them good luck shutting me up happy days kiddo.

  • kiddo? you know what a kiddo is? its a kiddo your gonna have, a kiddo im going to fucking pray to god he gets kidnapped, raped, and thrown on your door step , fuck you fuck usa
