hit like, am a closet grower myself, about to jump to the high pressure sodium in feb. my results thus far havent been that great with fl lights, so im steppin my game up lol if you dont mind me askin, whats your harvest per plant like? a guess? either way good vid and good luck!
im a new grower tryen to grow out a bunch of bagseeds i have but i dont have wat i need to go get nutrians * co2 and a grow boxx all i got is dirt seeds sun/lights any tips?
IMHO cfl lights are decent at vegging and a little under the ok side for flowering. they simply do not produe enough lumens to get a really good quality harvest. most videos of cfl grows especially the videos that have the house hold cfls look good from a distance but at close inspection have almost zero chrystals. but they do make some pretty good high output cfl systems for growing that can get you some dank ass bud if you do it right.
@TheSkimf what are you so mad about? leaving corny ass comments is not gonna make things any better. I clearly said from the start that it was only my opinion. and you would be a complete dumbass to say that regular cfls are great for growing dense sticky crystalized nugs because the fact is that they are not capable of doing that at all. you can grow bud under average cfls but it will not be nearly as good in quality compared to a hid light.
for my first grow box should i use tin foil for the inside to reflect the light and my grow box is made out of cardboard if i should use mylar let me know and where can i get it please someone reply back to me it would be helpful
@STONEREXPRESS420 get a emergncy space blaket i got pack of 2 ebay for 99 pence there a meter by two merters each so they well cover quite big grow box
Ok everyone that has commented about cfl lighting OBVIOUSLY knows nothing about lighting at all..lighting doesnt compound just by adding an extra cfl here or there....if a cfl puts off 4000 lumens you dont get 40,000 lumens just by using 10 of them...u get 4000 lumens over a wider area...all you are doing is getting rid of the shadows...not increasing light...be smart go on craigslist and look up warehouse lighting you can make a nice MH outta those...u want penetrating light..not ambient light
I like the video. Did a great job man. But does anyone know how long it takes to grow with fluorescent lights. Do tubes work better then cfl's. What's the yield look like? And can you use fluorecent lights with a hydroponic system. Thanks
hey anyone, do you think CFL's or tube fluorescents work better for flowering,? ive got one plant, with 4 tubes, 2 daylight, and 2 wide spectrum eco grow lights. it works amazing for veg growth, at 2 mnths, 1 and a half ft tall,i switchd the light to 12 hours, yes its a girl and it it has a few signs of pre- flowering. or'' lil white pistols''im a frst timer indoor and i just wanna here some input, btw yes im sticking with fluoro's cuz i cant afford more. so, the Q is, tubes or cfls? wrk better?
@inkQbus2009 Use them all, i think someone once told me that they used every type they had when they were flowering, but look it up if your really not sure.
I thought CFL's don't give off too much heat at all?? wich isn't a bad thing but u said ''due to high heat held''?. there cfl's, there designed that way, energy efficient too ANYWAYZ! sic GROW man, love it love it. that is very amazing.!!
You should have kept the CFLs closer man. Seriously like 1-2 inches away. Those things aren't that warm. You can get them pretty close without burning the leaves. Good grow though.
your plants look stressed and streched too man..move that light closer to those babys..next time LST them to get a better yield..cfls dont have alot of reach so your inducing more streching with the lights so high..and also had some more perlite to that soil mix..
excellent set up...i wonder how people still find shit wrong with something so obviously right...hmmmm, maybe i smoke to much weed, cause clearly i missed something..bangin grow man!
funny watching all the new growers arguing over who has best ,, or who is smartest .. most of these miniscule "stealth" grows n shit would never be enough weed to satisfy normal smokers .. the cfls are good for vegetative growth but I find the buds to be tiny and airy .. waste of time unless you are just doing it as a hobby and dont care how much good smoke you get.. If you want good amount of smoke ,, stick to a metal halide light .. no problems ,, no need for hps lights in combination either .
i have a 85 w cfl = 350 how many more lights do i need for 150 small plants.i am going to keep then in side for two months before i put them out side?
I bet that soil is from outside,? Hay I bet if you transplanted them into bgood soil from the shop they would boom' explode with healthy life. Trust me, also a bit more tiedowns. Covertgreen is famous fir tiedowns. Anyway out.
look up how many lumens direct sunlight emits. It's 32,000130,000. So tell me, wouldn't it make sense to have this many on your plants? Or at least more than 3,000? I used 10 68 watter bulbs which put off 4500 lumens each in addtion to at least 10-15 lesser 26-42 watt bulbs in my grow. Just the 68 watters alone were 45000 lumens. I prolly had close to 80,000 total.
@rockondon i run my lights at night already and it still requires a lot of air conditioning to keep it at a proper temp using CFLS.... with an HPS it would be difficult to maintain temperature and I know it would be more expensive.
@doejohn779 ur numbers are wrong tho just simple because 10 68 watt bulbs is less 680 watts more like 400 actual out put the 400 watt hps put out more light or even a 200 watt cfl puts out more then 4 68 watters because they get more efficient as they are bigger but still got shit tons of light
how long did you wait till you went to flowering?im on my first cfl grow and theyre on the fourth node at two weeks its just a hobby grow im thinking about forcing at the end of the third week just to see what happens but i havnt used cfls before and havnt used seeds for like 10 years now
nice man nice! trying to make it happen for myself aswell, thou its my first time ...i have 1 ? do you up your lighting during the flowering stage if you usein cfl's??
nah bro..it goes from 24 hours or 16/8 for veg to 12/12 for flowering..thats good man, dont give up anyway, you might be dissapointed at first but the more mistakes you make the better you get..keep it up
heya live4daherb i will explain, basiically say u know wht output u want eg 115 watts thats5 23 watt cfls in the floering stage put an extra 5 inso thats 230 watts but if ure doing 12/12 the price of ure elcetric wont chan ge as 115x24hour is 3.6kwh and 230 wats for 12 hours is 2.76kwh so in effet u can add even more than 5 and get the same bill hope that helped u out
so did you rig up any kind of ventalation system? I'm lookin into makeing a box, but I'm really worried about air flow. the box will be 4 foot high by 2 1/2X 3. you look like you kinda got it figured out so any suggestions would be appreciated
hey there. so you're thinking about a box grow eh? Well as for your question about ventilation... I run central air 24x7 with carbon filter on the main air intake in my living room. In the grow room, I have the window open and carbon filter sewed into the screen. The central air keeps the room pressured and the air pushes out the window. That is my vent system. You should use two computer fans with carbon filter on the one for outgoing air. Intake should be low and out should be higher up...
Realy good grow :D, I always see people say that CFLs are no good and shit, but I never realy believed...I'm growing with CFLs too, but i think that for 2 or 3 plants CFL is enough...for more i think it would be cheaper to use HPS...not sure, but keep it up! I hope it works for me too xD
Nice one! I'm ditching my HID for CFLs!!! Looks like you got some good stuff happening and a great perpetual garden going on! Props to you my brother!
looks like you have around 2 dozen lights? so if your using 27 watt light you have like 500 watts? looks fucking awsome i use 6 27 watt lights for veg and 8 27 watters for flower for 4 plants.150 -200 watts does me great so your fucking set
28 lights in flower chamber. i have 9 68 watters, and 6 42 watters and 16 26 watters. 1250 watts total. its a 12 square foot space you lumen wise it's roughly 55-60000 per square foot..
omfg dude! make some reflectors for the bulbs.. like a cutted beer can, or some curved matel plate... u r loosin half of lumens and wattage, your yield can be twice as good as now really... if u dont care about the money u spent on electricity think about an environment cause u r really wasting half of the total wattage and luminescence u think u got there, anyway nice plants ;p
