Can you harvest 4Oz (Dried Buds) with just 250Watts CFL

Quick answer? No.

Long answer? Probably not, but if you try something like scrogging, and you are succesful with it, you may pull a couple Oz, but pulling a QP with 250 watts of CFL would be hard, if not impossible. Pulling a QP with 250 watt HPS would still be hard.

 

I got 2oz dried with a 250w cfl growing El nino from GHS and it was my first grow and if i had had a bit more experience and had my grow tent setup like i do know and maybe LST'd it i think i could have got over 3oz. Heres a few pics of her

Good luck

Oh yeah.... It was a very nice smoke

 

yes, anything is possible but i wouldn't use CFL's.. they have an inefficient shape for directing light at a plant. If you wanna use florescent light, use T5's with a good reflector, keeping it as close as possible. Check my grow. You could make your own guess as to whether i'll get 4 oz out of 324 Watts.

 

i agree

 

Hi there, 1 plant, if i had lst'd the plant i bet i could've had more. This was a soil grow aswell so if i had used a hydro setup of some form it would produce more. growing a strain with a shorter flowering time would help too, My el nino took nearly 3 months but she had a bad start to life.

 

4 ounces a month... thats gonna be a big crazy setup man I think ur aiming for the fences and hitting the pitchers mound

 

4 ounces a month??? HOLY FUCK dude.

Me and my girl can burn daily, and only go through a quarter a week.

I'd love to get an insight into your smoking habits. What do you use to smoke? Are you by chance looking to decrease the amount any?

 

it all depends on the genetics of the plant, how many you're growing, how you are growing them, how long you're growing them, nutes, etc

 

dude if you could do 1 gram per wattt witch is every growers dream, you would get more then 1/4 lb. You could get more like half a pound if you did everything right. don't let anyone tell you, you can't, I do better then most and all i did was try too be the best i can.

 

what i wanna know is... is that like one big cfl, or alot of, say, 23 equivalents? how you set up the lighting can make a fuckload of difference, especially when talking about cfl. i would say no to your question though, not being negative but 4oz on a plant with cfl is alot. definitely not gonna grow 4oz plants every month.

 

If you're getting an incredible deal somewhere paying $100/Oz, $400/month then why not just go all out? You would make it worth the money so quickly, especially if you're paying more than that for weed.

 

takes more than a month to flower, if you dont have a separate veg you would be lucky to get the quarter every three months

 

i have not read the whole thread, but why dont you drop some money into a 250w hps light? it penetrates the plant further then CFL. the light from hps goes further then CFL which only goes a few inches before loosing most of its lumas effect. with the hps it penetrates to the lower leaves giving the plant more energy.

just a thought.
