LED vs. CFL for a small indoor grow

 

Hi guys, alil help here If you would be so kind!

For me Cost and Stealth is an Issue. Time, not so much aslong as I know Ive done all I can with what I have. Like id be majorly pissed if after like 3 months my home grown buds are piss weak ant penis`s.! Ive read Fluro takes longer and gives shit buds.

 

I wish to grow 1-3 plants. even if for my first grow I grow a male! hopefully i can get alot of seeds of him. yea?

 

Lets say the grow cupboard is around 60cm(length) x 60cm(breath) x 100cm(height) yea its pretty small but its what I got.

 

Germination under CFL works so Ive heard cuz theres ample heat as well as light but could a LED germinate? considering theirs apparently a lot less heat?

 

Used for Germination?

 

Energy Cost?

 

Light cost?

 

Growth rate?

 

Best wattage?

 

errmm what else?

 

Short answers plz, altho if you got the info, bring it on!!

 

I just want to make the most informed decision that I can.

 

I LOVE ALL YOU GUYS, its a beautiful thing this underground cannabis culture!!

 

No retreat, No Surrender!

dont bother.

[Indycar]

dont bother.

Agreed..

 

Or hang out another montn (if you reside in Aus) and grow outside. least the seed/s willl have a fighting change.

Goodluck!

After seeing your Grow posts Datamunky I can see where your coming from.

But this will be my first grow and ill be happy to get 1/2 on a first attempt.

If I have to make a new Cupboard I will. Ive seen similar setups to what I want on here so I know its possible.

 

And Indycar, I live in Sydney bro. my neighbors would dob me in for sure.

No worries, you know you don't necessarily have to grow at your residence though?

I personally think that fluros give weak stems and inferior buds but if it's all you have to work with, I would choose 2 x 130w high output fluros of differing colour.

 

Space that big is good for 1 decent plant or a few much smaller ones - maybe 4

 

Buy feminized seeds to increase your chances and vege for as long as you can to get the maximum bud size
