Kamel's CFL Guide

Just wanted to say cheers for this guide, very useful


I've decided to try growing my own on a budget just to see how I get on. Rarely smoke these days as I never have a reliable source, so figured I'd try to have my own little stash grown as a nice Christmas treat for myself


I've got my sturdy cardboard box lined with reflective tape (£3), Lowryder Easy Rider seeds (£12 for 3, only growing 1), already had a timer for doing the 20/4 light schedule, bought 2 x 30w CFL bulbs (1 red/1 blue) for £10 off Ebay - might buy another of each after reading this guide though. Think Im about ready to go, still need soil (£4 local), ONA block (£10) and some PC fans but can start next week.


Thanks again

 

Curing is the tricky part. We'll see in about a week.

 

Can sombody tell me is 9 23 watt cfls too much for 6 seedlings in red solo cups.

 

First time grower here, and have read everywhere that the more light the better. Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated. 🏻

 

It's all about trial and error. You gotta see what works for you. I'd say for a first time grower six plants will be a lot of responsibility. But if you're going to do it 9 CFLs should be plenty.

 

New grower here first plant, just entered 4th week of flower in a homemade box in my room

 

Running 12 45 watt 5500 k cfls and a 200 watt cob led she is liking the cooler cfl for veg will switch back to the original 6 3500 k 23 watt cfl and add 6 2700k 18 watt bulbs

I have been trying to receive some sort of criticism on my process. I have cfl lighting. Check out the link

 

Heres my 2nd cfl grow. Forst scrog attempt though. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1379899-First-scrog...with-cfl's

 

This was from my first grow with cfls this was the main i had about 275 watts of cfls (actual watts) now i have more than that.

 

I always found that i nice t 5 works much better then a cfl.

 

Can some one help me? I currently have two Pk plants growing under one 13w cfl bulb , theyre young plants , ones about 2 weeks and the other is a week . Theyre looking great . Im trying to keep both plants under 10inches (dealing with a small grow area) anyways should i upgrade my bulb ? get more ? This is my second grow but first under cfl ! Anything will help.

 

The more watts the better. Read the first few pages of this forum and you'll probably have a better understanding. I started with 13 then 23 watt.

 

Any advice on how to configure these lights for flowering?

 

Looks good to me man!
