my experiences are pretty much the same. i had 3 separate flower chambers: #1 400hps, #2 150hps, #3 approx 350watts of cfls. i flowered clones from the same mother in all 3 regularly. i thought i noticed a slight difference for a bit but i think it was just in my head. as kp said yeild and density are definitely affected. i did notice that cfl's seem to produce more trichs. for that reason i added 4 42 watt cfls to the 400hps and 4 too the 150 hps flower chambers. strain and the experience of the grower have the greatest effect on potency imo.
justaseed Reviewed by justaseed on . cfl vs hid (potency of bud)? I growing using 2 42w cfl's and realize that I won't have the same yield as if I was using a hid, but I want to know will there be any difference in potency between the 2 bulbs. Rating: 5
