Oh I love your plants too! Nice lollipop job! keep up the good growing!

Lol, now your in it too. Not bad lights you've got there, except the one with the cfl's placed horizontally. They put out about 10% less light each in that position, but the other fixture is cool. Not sure you really need the fan instead of more light in the center but I live in Oregon so heat...

It all depends on what type of cfl light setup your using. I keep my plants pretty far away and still grow good buds. See my earlier post. Notice the undergrowth still great smoke from cfls, without a scrogg in the flicks. I'm using some modified (added a few extra splitters and a 105/400w on...

I'm not so sure i agree with you on the 1 inch distance. That may be true if your using one CFL per plant or something, but I've been growing semi big plants with CFL's for almost 6 years. I can tell you that if your grow room is reflective and you've got enough light the bulbs, they can be 1...

Man do you really hate people earning a living. How much do you think it cost them to make a LED or HPS light in China? Or what kind of markup is on your $100 Nike's or your toaster or blender. Those are all well under $10 bucks to make. I'd much rather pay a AMERICAN to make something for me...

Nice crop, and those are pretty good yields. I'll bet your power bill hardly moved. Also, is it me or does CFL grown bud smell and taste more pronounced than HPS bud? I might be biased..lol. It may be the slight mixed spectrum's I use in flower to get all the CBD's and THC's to mature.

That sounds good on paper until you realize that the lumen numbers stated HPS systems and bulbs are total lumen..NOT useable lumen to your plants. Only 13% of the lumen emitted by HPS lamps is in color spectrum's your plants can use. I don't see the efficiency with them that you do. They don't...

Loads of money...lol. Check the prices compared to other grow lights. Plus if you actually knew us or ever used our lights you'd know we discount almost everyone who contacts us first.Also look at bulb replacement costs, heat, (air conditioning) & power consumption before you continue crapping...

Are these the same lights your talking about? http://cfl-growlight.com/store/400-watt-equiv-105-watt-2700k-6200-lumen-flowerfruit-bulb-p-25.html

Been using them for over three years, and they work fine. Your off on the 322 though..they use 322 watts of power not incandescent equivalent. Incandescent equivalent for the 23watt bulbs (100w output) is 1,600 per bulb. ITS ALL IN HOW THEY ARE USED and HOW MUCH LIGHT in the CORRECT spectrum's...

Your just wrong....

Well I'm no hater but it sounds like you might be one. With all the venom against CFL's. Its almost like your girl left you for a CFL grow light salesman or something...boarders on weird dude, and you really don't know what your talking about at all when it come to lights. First off, you cant...

Nice thread and I love your grow flicks! I use 2000 watt cfl units to flower with also and I'm so f%#*en tired of the "purist" who believe you cant get yield from cfl's. So its nice to see other cfl growers who produce! Check out the grow box I built for my buddy on YouTube link up to week 4 1/2...

I agree with everything you said but the fire hazard part. In December it will be 4 years with CFLs for me and I use the 1400 watt (output) and 2000 watt units from CFL-GrowLight.com. Currently I've got over 10,000 watts going all in CFL's... I've never even remotely had a fire hazard. but I've...

Well not 8, but I think its just my pot size. I get 4-6 oz (bomb only) per plant from the 5 gallon pots I've been using. I just moved to 20 gallon storage buckets from home depot so I'm expecting over 8 oz per plant from this yield. Going into flower in a couple of days so we'll see in a few...
