flowering with florescents?

[rtm240sx]

Can you flower the plants with a florscent bulb? I have 4 plants I am using a plant and aquarium florescent bulb it says its designed to promote flowering of plants? And how long would it take to flower them?

[magicman]

yes u can flower with flos...
takes same amount of time as usuall indica 6-8 sativa 8-12 weeks...
results ,,, smaller buds...
always iMhop.
keeps..

[rtm240sx]

Also it is in my closet how far away can you smell it?

[smokinlowrider4u]

probaly just the room the closet is in. if you keep thing kind closed up

[rtm240sx]

Is there any way i can get rid of the smell since I still live with my parents?
Would a plug it in work or other stuff work like that?

[BobBong]

something like a Glad "Plug-in" will only mask the smell..

if you live with your parents and you have to ask about smell.. your parents are either against you growing.. or against you using pot altogether..

I'm sorry but you really shouldn't be growing.

The smell will be strong, especially when you're getting late into the flowering stage.

Not only is it practically impossible to hide something in your parents home... but if anything were to happen and you got busted.. the axe will fall short... on your parents.

They own the home. they're responisble for what happens in thier home... and you can be sure as shit.. they'll know if you're growing pot behind thier back

I have to agree with bob.Dont grow at your parents house.Its impossiple to hide it from them.Better grow outdoors and dont tell anybody about it.Not even your best friend.

Can some1 please tell me if 2 of these lights and a 70w HPS would be good from growing:

hope that link works.

thanks

its all about the amount of lumens its puts out not the light plain and simple listen i dont care what people say about floros you can grow and flower with them with the result being maybe (MAYBE) a lil less yeild a friend of mine had an hps setup and a compact floro spectrum setup up both same wattage and damn there wasnt much of a difference in yeild and shit the weed was frickin great so i dont know why people say that floros wont grow LOOK AT THE LUMENS PEOPLE THE HIGHER THE LUMENS THE BETTER THE LIGHT FOR GROWING PLAIN AND SIMPLE

[FGalwaysburning]

Preech it funkyRhino I will have to agree with ya on that note

there are many ways to use ur flourescents at their best for the whole grow from when ur seed popped until u harvest.They work great if they'r close to ur plant and more of them bulbs the better the yield

almost 6 whole weeks at flowering with flouros { look }

[FUNKYRHINO]

wow thats lookin good bspec nice color makes me wanna smoke some of it

[MedicalMarijuana]

the potency on flouro bud is less than hps

the curing smoke is so good ,i'm sure the smoke from a flouro grow like what i did would give even the most doubtful people a happy rise.

Ok i am trying this 8 lowryders . I took 2 -2'x4' floresent light with 4 bulbs each they are the sides. The i took 2 4'x1' they hold 4 bulbs each. a total of 16 40watt cool whites. a total of 640 watts in a 2foot high 4 foot long area. each plant is in 2.5 gallon containers.this is the first time i will use all flouros the flower. I will let you know in about 8 weeks what i yeilded.. does anyone have any comment on whether this is a good set up?

[Slimpickuns]

Hey Bspectral,

Are you strickly using kitchen and bath flouros for flowering?

u'l see they will work. but get the flowering flouros,plant and aquarium types and GE chromas.They all have the red,orange and yellow spectrums.

[jadeius]

I thought the idea was to have more wavelength at the blue end than the red end?

[phillykid420]

No the lumens isn't the most important factor. Lumens is a measure of visible light, it's a measurement based on human eye not how a plant uses light. PAR is a much better measure, photosynthetically active radiation. It takes into account which portions of the electromagnetic spectrum a plant uses to drive photosynthesis. You could put a plant under a billion lumens of green light and it won't grow at all because all the light is reflected off the plant.

[smokinlowrider4u]

got half cool white and half plant and aquarium . them things are pricy but i try anything

[FUNKYRHINO]

Ya your right about that philly i was just assuming i guess that most average people would not be using a green light lol . You know exactly what i meant smart ass just givin ya shit philly is correct on that also

[Bspectral]

got half cool white and half plant and aquarium . them things are pricy but i try anything
that combo will work fine...and if u want to add blue spectrum,get an actinic 48'' growbulb,about 30$ each

[smokinlowrider4u]

thank you i have done them under hps. very nice bud taste and smokes well .thought i would try this. had lights laying around from construction job.Into weeks 2. will post update.
