hate to disagree with you shake.. but idk about running 400w of cfl on ONE plant! that is a lot of light on one lil gurl. i doubt if it will be TOO airy.. ya know?
and that is not based in fact so if you have ever put that kinda of light density to the gurls with cfl's tell we what is true..

and HID does rock.. even a n00b can get results under a HPS..

MG, don't worry about the watts so much. watts are merely the consumption of power. 400W of HPS compared to 400W of CFL is not the same. true it's both 400W of power being consumed, but the difference is that one is more efficient than the other. the CFL produces 46-72 lm/W (or is 8-11% efficient). a HPS is in the 85-100 lm/W range (or is 12-22% efficient). granted lumens are a measurement used for the human eye.

not to mention, the lumens, ~1600 for a 23-26W CFL are not added together. they do increase in areas where the light overlaps, but it's not like you (and most others) are thinking.

lets say you had 50 CFL bulbs (all 1600 lumens).

1600*50= 80,000 lumens (IF they added up, which they don't).

now a 400W HPS ranges from 50,000-80,000 lumens....all from a single light source. therefore you know that you are in fact getting said lumens.

did that make any sense?

not to mention, that's ONE plant. under how many CFLs? that one plant's meds aren't gonna last you very long (although this is relative) as a tent full of bigger, more dense buds that more than likely have better trich production. not to mention you will spend less on a HPS setup in the log run as opposed to adding more and more CFLs. trust me, not getting an HID off the bad is the single biggest mistake most people (including me!) make.



MB, i was in no way knocking your plant or anything. she is a real beaut! i've worked under CFLs for several grows and just outputting my opinion from my knowledge gained.

keep up the amazing work!

headshake, I know all that, but last year when I first started growing, I didn't knew that. Over. Now I'm stuck with a bunch of cfls, let's use 'em!
And i don't smoke the medecine, I, hum, make everyone else use it. $taxes$

i know it MB! i wasn't talking about your grow specifically. i was speaking in generalities. the statement was posed and i merely interjected with my facts, 'tis all.

and i remember you saying you don't smoke....now. you are doing an amazing job my friend. can't wait to see how a HID treats you!

happy 420!

Can't imagine an HPS in that closet! But if i getan HPS, I will grow some known strain, not some bagseed!¸

Pics later today

Banana like formation on the very top of some buds, top bud included. Don't see anything on the sides of buds. Better pics of that tomorrow.

Mmmmm I want to grow some Super Purple chronic someday. Just b.c I think it looks amazing.
you know sometimes when Im driving I look at big trees and bushes, some shrubs and they remind me of Cannabis. LOL. How much longer. Oh take a pic with them next to a AA Batery will help us gauge sizes. Looks so nice.
