I have the warm white (~6500 K) ones too. to each their own though.
Hey how about a fuck you back at you.
If you are gonna do this stuff, post pics and brag about it, then make it worth the fucking risk.
I know what Wal MArt CFL's do and they dont do shit but grow tiny plants with tiny buds. TINY BULBS GROW TINY BUDS AND TINY PLANTS.
GOT IT?
They have their place and they have their purpose...like in your lamp.
Yes, they will grow a weed, but so will a regular light bulb. And if you get some good ones, you dont need many...3 or 4 at the most.
Point is, why bother growing weed while sacrificing the most important part of the entire process....LIGHT.
And for you know it alls, WARM WHITE carries Kelvins in the 2000-3000 range.
Cool whites carry Kelvins at 5500+. Get your facts straight or stop buying those cheap American Lighting pieces of shit lights. Don't think youre gonna teach me about lights.
Here are a couple of pics of REAL CFL's. The short ones are awesum, 26.00 each or so...the longer ones are great as well...but cost 100.00
If price is an issue, maybe you shouldn't be playing this game. If you insist, BUY A SHITLOAD...LIKE 30...of the wal-mart CFL's.
You grow more weed per plant. 10X more weed with proper lighting.
Show me some pics like these of 25 day plants with your Wal Mart bulbs. YOU CANNOT. The smaller plants on the left are day 10....and the ones on the right, larger ones, are day 25. They will grow thick and bushy at 1/2" per day starting on days 18-21.
These were from seeds in 25 days with TRUE 5500K CFLS. The smaller bulbs are 65 Watts and the longer ones are 125 Watts.
You can get them at any place legit that sells medical lighting. A good place is:
Full Spectrum Lighting and Light Therapy
So fuck you whoever said fuck me. Show me your plants at 25 days with your WALMART LIGHTS. I need a good laugh.

Fuck you too.
When you wanna learn how to grow, let me know. I'll tell you to fuck off then too.
Hey now, why don't we all sit down, smoke a spliff and just use HIDs. Let me make a comparison, would you heat your house with a space heater or a furnace? they both work but the furnace does it better/faster. Not trying to knock cfls since they do work, but using them is comparatively like opening a window shade, HIDs are like tearing off the roof.
Guarantee this "fight" would not have begun if you both had an MH or HPS burning right now...
Harddon, i dont agree with Terps either. His reaction to your earlier comment was uncalled for, but to me it doesn't sound like you dont give regular CFLs enough credit. i have seen what 8 42 watt bulbs can do with mylar and its not shit weed at all. I can't post pics cuz i dont have a camera, but you sound overly skeptical. I don't want to brag or anything cuz thats the sign of a truly ignorant person, but my plants that were under 8 26 watt walmart bulbs were definitely bushier than yours at day 25 veg. I say this only in defense of walmart CFLs and not to brag. Sorry i dont have pics though.
Sorry for the typos in the previous comment. I think you get what im saying though. Thank you for correcting me on the kelvin value of warm white bulbs, Harddon. Somebody told me once that the warm whites are 6500 K and i made the mistake of believing them without researching myself. Also, a regular light bulb will not grow weed, i made this mistake many years ago haha.
Well here ya go chuckles - Obviously they aren't going to be as bushy as your huge dollar flouro jobbers, but for the pennies they cost in comparison, they veg just fine for me. Replaceable at 2am if I had to. I bloom under HID's so thats not an issue. These plants were all under 4-23 watt daylight bulbs - actually purchased from Walmart.Quote:

Ok, so I'm not gonna win prizes for them, but saying the cheapo CFLs don't do shit? Surely you were thinking of incandescents...
i am going to be running 12 26wat walmart cfls they cost me a total of $1.22 a bulb. i am going to flower with 2x that with 23 wat cfls from lowes. much cheaper then hid i know not as good but when you are very low income and need to stay low key.
