So I just grew some bag seed from a friend. Some south african sativa heavy strain it seems. Anyways it was fun, even though it was low budget. 4 23w cfl's cabinet was maybe 2ft wide by 1ft4"deep and about 2.5ft high 2 computer fan exhaust and a passive intake organic nutes for flowering here was the result, had to harvest early due to a little bud rot The last pic is the first batch of qwiso hash from a small amount of trimmings. Smells so tasty, bout to try it now. Thanks for looking at a new amateur grower. It has another 3-4 days drying before it hits the jars for a cure.
nice job dude. This is inspiring as I have a very similar grow going. I also have 4 23 watters. I was thinking about going to six but after seeing this, I might just stick with the 4!
how tall did you veg this plant to before you switched to flowering? Did you do any kind of training or topping or anything?
very nice! i started with cfl's but now i got HID's. i may do a small cfl grow for fun. this inspired me. check out my grow. http://forum.grasscity.com/general-indoor-growing/531815-1000w-mh-hps-lst-scrog-dwc-first-grow-5.html#post6787406
im with this guuyyy im about to start my first hps grow and i may start a cheap CFL grow also as a fun experiment.. i may have my girlfriend do it for fun :]
how long did ur grow take? I have a very similar setup only using 2 24wCFL's in about the same dimension box Im about 3 weeks in
Congratulations! Sweet! You must've tied her down like a MF right? The only sativa I ever grew wanted to be 20 ft tall.....enjoy
Having done many grows of all sizes under CFLs, don't let this make you think you can get away with just 4 bulbs. It worked out for this grow, but with CFLs, more is better. To use this grow as an example (and not trying to be negative in any way), the production would have been even better with 8 or 10 CFLs. You can't have too many bulbs with a CFL grow....
Would three 125W 2700k CFLs along with six 24W 2700k bulbs along the sides of the plants be sufficient enough for flowering and a decent yield? Thank you in advance appreciate it much!
Thats dope dude CFL's are EXCELLENT! looks like you got a lot of bud for 4 cfls looks dank as well! goood job Check out my grow man its a low budget cfl too! +rep for CFL's
I vegged it for 1 month, and LST'ed it like a mofo. Thats not a seed in there, just a dead leaf i missed, just checked it out. I started it back at the end of October. It was a slow flowerer, but well worth the wait.
I'm impressed! I have always used CFLs for vegetating, but never considered flowering under them, thinking the buds would be loose and leafy...you showed me wrong...thanks. +rep for your successful CFL grow.
