Strains that like flouro?

Here we go. With about 2 1/2 weeks to 1st harvest. And a pic of the 14" bud.

That is a outstnding bud you have there! Congradulations!

HvyFuel, why do you prefer flourecents???

[HvyFuel]

Being honest about it, cost. I grow strictly for personal use so yield per plant just isn't an issue. My first grow was under MH and cost me £300 in electric for a lot of a reasonable strength plant. I've found that under fluoro I can produce a smaller quantity of high thc bud, which suits my needs perfectly. I grow in soil so I walk into any department store with a small gardening section and get almost everything I need. I have to get cool whites from a hydro shop atm but I could even order them online.

If I didn't shout the fact that I'm a THC Minister everywhere the cops wouldn't know where to find me

I see. I was asking because I am a user of flouros as well. Was it really a big difference in the plants and bud between the two types of light?

Yes, you get a much bigger crop with UPS(USP? stoned, can't remember) and MH but you lose potency. If you want to sell it that's great I suppose but if you're smoking your own there's no point.

Thats some high dollar electric you have. I guess it's not inexpensive so to say in England? I just use a 250mh and it may run me $8 US or so a month. I veg under floro's and flower under the mh.

i have grown with floros, mh's, and hps. And from my experiences, hps gets the best budz overall. With MH and HPS combined, you get even better budz. Now, i only use floros for cloning purposes, otherwise they are useless for me. For a personal grow you should get a 250 mh, youll have a bigger yield, with more abundance of trichomes. MOnthly electricity shouldnt be that BIG of an issue, it costs a few bucks, a few bucks thatll make ur buds that much better.

I had MH and HPS on my first grow but the police decided they wanted them, so I was left with no lights, no plants, and a £300 electricity bill. I neither know, nor really care, how much electricity costs elsewhere. And although I am always grateful for useful advice, how to increase the thc levels using fluoros would be of far greater benefit.
