compact flouro question
Nice going so far bluntman. I think CFL grows require a little more skill as they don't have much of a margin for error. Light penetration is lacking so you need to expose as many bud making tips as possible. Justaseed has this down to a fine art as you can see. But with careful pruning and/or LST you can still grow fantastic plants. I believe keeping CFLs too close and/or using the wrong light spectrums cause the plant to become too stocky therefore shading the lower bud sites. Itâ??s a fine art to get the right amount of stretching to produce larger main buds vs. keeping the plant short enough for lumens to penetrate the lower buds. Reducing light leaks, reducing the amount of light absorbing materials and using highly reflective materials like mylar are a must.
Obviously justaseed's scrog demonstrates the ideal conditions to use CFLs but some of us just aren't that creative.
Justaseed you need to do a start to finish scrog thread. I'm sure it will be FAQ worthy.
I believe that lessons learned gaining more yield from CFL grows could drastically improve yields from HID light grows.
