130w CFL- Veg to Harvest- anyone have success?


Recommended Posts

im currently doing one with a 80w - https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners.com/topic/66121-the-stoned-jesters-2nd-80w-cfl-grow-lushhazeskunk1-x-blueberry/

ive done it with a single 80w from veg to flower - my full report is in the 420 crew section, but here are some progressive pictures https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners.com/gallery/album/1240-the-journey-so-far/

 

also this thread here https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners.com/topic/61210-80w-cfl-who-is-using-them/ and https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners.com/topic/65258-fluorescent-lights-and-vegetative-growth/

 

it's entirely possible the trade off is dealing with the heat / power consumption of the lights VS having slightly more 'airy' buds that are not as compact as you would expect under a HPS / MH

geez, i dont have time for 51 pages ! but he is using near 1200W of CFL in that grow.... not gonna make any savings over HPS in electricity consumption...

The flowering boxes were half a m2 with 10 x 42 watt cfl's each... it's a long thread that begins with a claim of producing 2-4 gpw with household cfl, but is light on for actual information... eg had to get to page 37 before there was actually a pic of the boxes in action and page 39 before getting the dimensions and illumination figures.

Your prob right Bill , you would have to sit down & do the numbers on his perpet grow, assuming his numbers aren't BS as Lu said

But would you want the boys in blue to turn up to that many plants on the go at once , from flowering to vegging & clones

The thread doesn't get around to providing any evidence for the early claims before petering out...

 

I looked at running cfl and sogging, but the way our laws are framed... I don't want to be done with a 144 plants under any sort of lights, even if I could get the theoretically projected figure of 2-4 gpw.

watching a mate do a 130w CFL single bulb grow.. single plant which he fimmed way too early and fucked that up too. looks like a massive bushy dohnut the size of a soccer ball. its vegging super well under a 6400k hes going too flip it at 5 weeks and use a 130w dual cfl 2700k + 6400k.

 

his situation is the reason for the cfl grow.. he lives with his parents they were against it untill he showed them how much the cfl would cost compared too hps. he reckons hes going too get a oz.. i think hes dreaming but well see.
