I saw this by DrBud on another site and it was truely inspirational, he really shows what cfls can do in producing a lot of ganja without the need of lst etc. Im sure you will find it interesting ***DrBud Takes CFL SOG to the Next Level*** - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums So my questions are what bulbs did you use for flower ? obviously 2700k but this guy uses 42 watt bulbs which i cant find anywhere here in the uk. Is there a watt equivalent between cfls in the states and the uk ?

Keep up good work man :jointsmile:
Yeah char, hows it going bro:hippy:I started out using 27w cfl's, but then after all the reading, people were saying 27k to bud and 65k for veg. Until i got to reading about a mix spectrum and found that IMO it made sense. So, i started to buy a few 23w cfl's and put a few in the mix. So i basically had half 27w and 23w through most of the grow. Now it was my first experience with growing inside, but i was happy in the end. I think with cfl's the bigger, the more they might penetrate better. But, if you can get side lighting in your grow it would equal the same as using the 42w cfl's. It might take more then if you were using all 42w's, but in the end a mix of different bulbs i believe will be just as good. But there are people who switch out to 23w cfl's which are 27k to flower. There is a big difference in the brightness, to the human eye as the 23's are not as bright to the eye that is. There is a website you could order them from, or on ebay iv found a lot of cfl's there as well. I saw a sale the other day that was in the paper, selling 8 cfl's for 9.99, which is the cheapest iv ever seen, to bad i was broke. 1000lights.com i know sells just about any light ya need and iv seen that a lot of people use that site. But, i think the more you can put on your plants, with different spectrum's works well and i will continue to grow just as i did last indoor grow.

Hope this helps man and if ya need me to i could get some and mail em to ya, if you cant find what you want. I have a paypal account, which could make things easy.

Let me know bro,:rasta:
