Cfl Yield

Check out grandmas growing again for tons of nice pics https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-fluorescent-lighting/505390-grandmas-growing-again-7.html

my first grow was done in two rubbermaid containers stacked ontop of eachother had 12-26 watt 2700k 3-55 watt 2700k & 3-26 watt 6500k cfl's around the whole top rubbermaid cont. grew 3 autos in soil 2 dutch passion starryders first starryder 73g the second starryder was a rare 12 week sativa dom. pineapple pheno best yied at 103g & a royal queen bluematic 31g they were all dried and cured good yields can b done with cfls must get lights around whole plant lumens dont get through the canapy if they are just ontop of plants so get lights around whole plant it does wonders

2 plants week 5 flower an indica and a sativa

have no idea what yield to expect

Planning on using ten 100watt cfls. 6 over the canopy 4 halfway down on white widow autos

The benchmark for cfls is half a gram a watt per 4 week veg flower cycle. Hps is more like a gram a watt and leds probably like ten grams a watt if you believe all the hype

Shorten the veg time and maximize your cfls

i've actually done that, the new one is at 6 weeks veg till it showed its sex, then strait to the closet which is 12/12 already.

outside right before i put it in the closet, don't mind the bug it left, glad its a girl though makes for a nother beautiful plant

Youll produce more with cfls that way, well done

I'm a first time grower. I went through the basic rookies mistakes: over nuting and stupid watering. Heading into week 3 of flower, 6-23watt cfls on some bag seed. How bad is it? Any estimates on yield?

what strain is that?

6 week veg (i think?) 200watts, 9 weeks flowering under 330w with just ocean forrest & big bloom lmao, I forgot the yield, something like 2-2.5 zips dry? Crazy defs and too much stretch for me lol. Never again

That was some bagseed. I had to take it a little early so didn't come out well. Never developed a smell through flower, dry and cure.

If you've grown using JUST cfl's what was your biggest yeild. Include how many watts per light and how many lights

230 watt cfl 116 grams
