How to grow quality dense weed with cfls

[crf450r23]

when is the best time to use calmag? and how much of it do you use??

[crf450r23]

is lolli popping where you bend the plant a lil bit to get a bigger yield?

[tupzcanwell]

Heyy man .wot watt do you use and what bulbs.

[tupzcanwell]

Heyy man ummmm wot watt do you use and wot bulbs ...

[buDDdiE420]

There not wilting there folding! & Another thing what does it mean when tha plant loses nutrients & water fast? Like 1s I water her it goes straight out???

[SirSly420]

@buDDdiE420 my water usually only flows right out when it already has enough water in it . The dirt is already holding all the moisture it can so whatever you pour in just flows out immediately . You should pick up your pot to see if it needs water . If its heavy your good if its really light add water .

[3rk4u]

@buDDdiE420 plants pot bound bro transplant to a bigger pot,add 2 cup sand and 2 cups pearlite to ur soil for holding and drainage.gud luk.

[buDDdiE420]

Hey bro nice grow, I have a question, now say ur plants fan leaves are folding how do u go about fixing that?

[iuriyo]

will i get any Decent results with 1 iguana cfl lamp and one of those long slim cfls you have at home ?

[jacobtatg]

arent the cfl the curly bulb and how many should i use for 1 plant?please write back thanks man

[denray01]

@jacobtatg

Buy 26 watt (= to 100 wattrregular bulbs ) curly cfls...., the 26 watt curly bulbs are what u want , use 4 to 6 for a 2 ft plant , keep close to leaves , buy daylight type bulbs to grow leaves then put in soft white type bulbs to make buds and flower , enjoy yur buds brau .

[ICUH8N505]

Thnx 4 the response and the knowledge! Mad respect.. like the vids keep em coming.. all h8rs can suck it

[TheTheeggmann]

I have 5 Auto AK's and 5 Lowryder 2's in a box that's 2.75'x1' so 2.75sq/ft. I have 2 65watt and 5 26watt CFLs for a total of 312watts, at 113watts per sq/ft. The last harvest of 5 LR2 using this set up gave me just shy of 120g. I'd like to do 1 regular plant but, I'm limited in height at only 24" from the bulbs. But, CFL's aren't slackin, they can grow good bud, sometimes the crystal content is much higher, making up for the density.

[ICUH8N505]

Have you ever started a plant in flower with cfl then moved it to hps? Jus don't want to shock my baby I been workin on..

[TheTheeggmann]

@ICUH8N505 Just keep it out of direct hps light for a week or so. Or put the hps fairly high above the plant if possible, say 4 feet for a 400w or you could stick it under it for an hour or 2 every day for a week gradually increasing the hrs it's under the light and by the end of the week it should fine and can be kept there.

[SirSly420]

@ICUH8N505 yeah its safe .

[CreatorCade]

@SirSly420 thanks man I now know why my plants are too tall, not enough bulbs. Oh and for a balanced spectrum try getting some 100 watt full spectrum bulbs they are great. And is it normal for clones to wilt when first taken?

[SirSly420]

@CreatorCade are spraying the leafs of your clones with water ? That's the only way they can drink until they get roots .you wanna mist them at least 3 times a day .

[mike300406]

cannot find the blue cfls got the 300w white no blue

[SirSly420]

@mike300406 just so you know the bulbs aren't literally blue . They just give off a blue spectrum . They label them as "bright whites " which will also be labeled 6500kelvin on the box somewhere you'll use these for veg . Soft white bulbs give off a red spectrum which is good for flower (2700kelvin) .

[RandyMarshjs]

You give us CFL grower hope. Thanks!

[mgBorn619]

i love these long ass videos. keep posting. stay high my friend

[hooverworld28]

what type of light socket are you using and where you get it from?

[SirSly420]

@hooverworld28 check my video "how to build a stealth growbox " its in my list of uploads .

[SlowBurnnnn69]

@hooverworld28 You can by sockets with hoods at homedepot, just make sure they're ceramic sockets, it your using the 300w bulbs for safety reasons. Not postin vids on Youtube, but trust me things are going well!! PEACE

[SlowBurnnnn69]

@SlowBurnnnn69 If**



[Zombifiedbydank]

nice cfl grow man..im gonna post a vid on my page today or tomorrow.....im running 11 100w equivelent cfls

[SirSly420]

@koleinz are you saying the light emitted from cfls poisons the plants and makes it radioactive or some shit ?

[koleinz]

@SirSly420 it got some other Stuff in it, not just the quecksilver.

The Phenol vapes out if the lamp ON

Its not harmful but phenol its in cigarettes too.

[SirSly420]

@koleinz I'm stoned I re-read your comment , I know cfls has bad stuff inside them but I'm not going to break any . My other box has hps in it too .

[shad0w9]

CFL for the win. Never heard of mixing red and blue lighting for flowering though.

[killersquirrel122]

oh and try out this shit called bloombastic its fresh, the nugs come out alot bigger and denser but its expensive

[SLINGSHOTandMOLOTOWS]

your nugs are like cotton balls, they suck!!

[SirSly420]

@SLINGSHOTandMOLOTOWS LOL ! Look at my video "wanna grow frosty dense cannabis with cfls " check the video its the nugs from this plant that you say " are like cottonballs" and theyre rock hard buds .

[examinationboard]

@SirSly420 What if you were to have some cfls at the lower end of the plant? any point to this or does the rest of the bud compensate after you have lollypopped?

[SirSly420]

@examinationboard side lighting is always good but I'd still lollipop , the plant usually doubles in size the first few weeks of flower so side lighting will still be beneficial .

[YourFace]

@SLINGSHOTandMOLOTOWS There's always at least one jerk-off imbecile like you that leaves a shit comment like that. And those "cotton balls" aren't even that old you dumb fuck.

[xclucifer]

VERY VERY NICE!!!

[stewykinsella]

id say they are fairly stretched for the best results ever usin cfls down load see more buds book 12/12 after 2 to 3 weeks will produce small compact plants weighing 2 to 3 ounce dry them plants to big to see decent results wit cfl they cud not proper penitrate the canopy. how much did u yield from each plant?

[remdogg1960]

Your music is to loud homeboy next time don't try to hard to be cool

[0AdamHeartMother0]

@remdogg1960 I am pretty sure the plants themselves make this dude a bad ass, can't wait to see your grow videos.

[repententertainment1]

ok thanks bro mine look good, but just dont have think budss....was wondering how you did it on the other CFL video....

[repententertainment1]

@repententertainment1 Opps i mean thick! budds

[repententertainment1]

how tall are these?? i started budding around a ft in half......

[SirSly420]

@repententertainment1 mine were about a foot or maybe 16 inches i think when I started flowering .

[michaelrockzx420]

over nuited?



[smartin669]

hey whats that reflective material do yo have?

[DOSEKEA1]

nice grow and videos bro! def taking tips im working with the same cfls right now... peep my videos and my grow.. let me know what you think!?

[scutzi128]

Have you tried lollipopin your hps grow? Or are the lower buds on that worth it due to the better penetration of the hid lighting?

[SirSly420]

@scutzi128 they're lollipopped too . Its just a better way to grow unless you have side lighting .

[scutzi128]

@SirSly420

Thanks, your grows are quite inspirational.

[TheLivingfreekshow]

1000bulbsdotcom has 105 watt cfls

[provethetruth]

Great Video, Tips, & Plants SirSly/FLY :D P.s. Good Choice of Music too

[SirSly420]

@provethetruth thankyou :)

[Mr420Phil]

= ] Nice

[shadowhalo1]

how many watts do each of those have?

[SirSly420]

@shadowhalo1 23 watts per bulb , 10 bulbs .

[snailseeker]

Hey, SS, what's yer gro medium?

[SirSly420]

@snailseeker soil . Try masters pride .

[dank1thevandal]

I'm using T5 4bulb, do you think it'll make a difference if I interchange the spectrums?

[SirSly420]

@dank1thevandal you should just add a few cfls with a different spectrum as a supplemental light source , your main spectrum should be red .

[groovieblue]

does anyone know why my plant is starting to have these brown crooked lines on the leaves? only started some back yard growth 2 months ago.

[stoner3778]

gotta say bro. looking great. cant wait till she is done. keep it up buddy.

[ChogNompa]

everythings lookin good in there bro.

[SirSly420]

@ChogNompa Thnx bro

[MEMPHIZCITY300]

Hey bro if I'm growing one tree what's the best cfl lights to go with

[TheCraZyCG]

Cool video. Watched the whole thing. (((StayCraZy)))(((StayCFL)))

[thatguru877]

I let wolf spiders live in my grow room.

[MIXTAPESWAGGER]

DOPE ASS VIDEO!!!!!thanks for the info man always rite on time!!!!

[MadXMax187]

I had those bugger gnats

[MadXMax187]

I'm pretty sure most evolutionists believe that the cannabis developed its resin glands/trichomes to help protect its seeds from the sun's deadly UV rays and fend off predators of course. So the more UV they get the more resinous they should be, that's why some of the best strains are still grown outdoors. So far so good, and thanks for the tip on the cal/mag I always just used Epsom salt with crushed egg shells. I also heard using Dolomite lime in the soil mix will slow release the calcium.

[xMasterKush]

is there a difference between the dense-ness of t5 tubes and cfl?

[SirSly420]

@xMasterKush I've never used t5s before but I'm sure you can look up the "lumens" of t5s and then compare them to the lumens of cfls .

[xMasterKush]

@SirSly420 is it the lumens that makes a plant grow hella good? i always thought it was wattage lol.. but my 4 bulb 4 ft t5 system has 20k lumens in it. 216 watt output

[SirSly420]

@xMasterKush old school incadescent lights range from 40watts- 100+ and they may be bright but they produce more heat , the key is finding a bulb that produces high lumens with less heat and less energy consumption and making sure its the light spectrum best suited to your growing needs . The setup you have seems fine , eventually I want to add side lighting to my grow to help with bud production . Peace n pot

[preprodigy]

@xMasterKush its a combination of factors for quick and dense bud formations. lumens just refers to the intensity of the light being put out, and watts is just the amout of power used in order to put out that particular lumens rating. so yes the more lumens the better, because that means a greater intensity of light being directed to your plants, however you must make sure that the spectrum of light being produced in those lumens, falls within spec for either veg or flower. rewatch video again

[preprodigy]

Respond to this video... @sirsly420: hey man, things are looking good!, only advice i could throw your way would be to add some more of them cfl's down around the bottom to help increase the size of them popcorn nugs... when using cfls, it helps ALLOT to add additional lighting on sides and bottom of plant to help compliment the lights up above the plant. you will see a nice improvement in bud development at bottom and center of plant.

[steveeb1269]

right on bro !!!! its poeple you and me that really make a good statement on CFL,s , and show the results. plants look great. peace n stay high.

[sweettosmoke]

looking good
