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)

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.
