Hi All
Any one growing under compact fluorescent lighting ?
I am using a 5 light set up of 3 compact fluorescent lights and 2 compact halogen lights all daylight balanced in my Photo setup That seams very bright.
I am interested in using a AeroGarden Extra Elite with 2 Cf as the supplemental lower Lighting.
I intend to alter the hight adjustment so I can go higher AeroGarden light.
Still I am looking to grow a dwarfed verity like Lowryder hear.
I am looking to only to grow 1 or 2 high yield plants at a time
in a cupboard grow.
Any Thoughts?

first off dump the halogens. the light they put off isn't any good for growing. cfl's work great. check aroung in the grow logs at other peoples setups. many great grows going on.:thumbsup:

If you want high yield, 'dwarf' plants like lowryder won't do it. What are your needs/expectations regarding yield? How much do you smoke every 3 months? What is your budget ($$$)? Where are you from?:)

Never seen anyone growing cannabis with one of those Aerogarden Extra Elite things... I don't think it will produce what you are looking for.
