    Envirolites

    I have grown quite successfully for over 6 years now (12-15oz dried from 5-7
    plants under a 400 watt Son-T) but due to downsizing in property space is at a premium and a high heat emitting light source is not practical, so i read about
    envirolites and thought this could be the answer to my problems. My idea was to
    use a twin (2x200watt) envirolite as follows ,use 1x200 watt blue spectrum
    bulb for cutting propagation and growth then 2x200watt red spectrum bulbs
    for flowering and budding i would assume that plant yield would not be as great
    but as these crops are for purely personal use only this is not such a major concern .This is the first time i have sought advice outside a ring of local
    fellow growers but as they all seemed to frown on the idea of using what are essentially flourescents for anything other than propagation or supplementry
    purposes i thought seek advice elsewhere, any thoughts ?
    P.S. I am 40 years old from West Yorkshire England i've been a smoker for 18
    years, growing for 6-7 years and visit the capital of the world (Amsterdam)
    whenever i can (once sometimes twice a year) love Divadish

    Hello mate, im from London. Welcome to the boards.

    I've been growing for years and years too.

    These CFL's are better than you'd expect. I mean, yeah, it's not going to be the yeild you'd get from a HPS but it'll yeild a good amount.

    Blue ones -There fine, no problems there, nothing to worry about.

    Red ones will do the job fine, but like i said, the yeild will drop slightly [But NOT as much as people would think.]

    And obviously, the more watts [lumens], the better the yeild.

    I'd say get em, and give it ago. If the yeild isnt as much as you'd like maybe think about a low wattage HPS to add to the red spec CFL's. Like a 150 watter. It might just push up yeild that little bit more.

    Goodluck.
