For people who use CFLS for growin (CFLS ONLY)

Hi is there anyone growing just on cfls... if so how many plants will this grown (VEG) and (FLOWERING)
2 85w 2700k as shown in the picture they are very big..and 1 30w2700k and 11w2700k
as everyone has been saying that a hps will do it but i dont have the money or room so i want to make sure i am on the right lines.
its been growing but now its on 12/12 not VEG its doing fuck all its been around 4-6 days and i cant see bud i thought i could but its still the same... it smells like lush weed on the stem but not as much on the top of the plant its got what looks like bud comin out of the tops.. which is white but still it looks like its more leaves coming out but like hairs and leaves.... any help on any of that thanks..
its ok saying it will but please dont say yes if you are not useing just cfls. as i wanna know what total watts you need and allsorts

if it only been 4-6 day 12/12 then your not going to see bud yet mybe a couple of white hairs if its fem! dnt expect buds till week 2-4 depending on how long you vegged for, and yea the lights are fine but you would be better gettin a few more of the 85w ones.
peace

happy growing!!!!!

LOL omg like i said ive had 1 85w but i have just got one more i havnt got the cash to go buy any & everything .. ive been told that FOR CFLS 75w per a plant is needed .. so how many will 2 85w and 1 30w i cannot get no more because of cash problems .. if i had the money to do what you guys do then i would just BUY SOME WEED . damn

i done veg for about 3 weeks because i didnt want to have a 6ft plant lol
and i guess what i want to know is
WHAT IS THE LEAST LIGHT WATTS for cfls for one plant

look at the specrum ll kits come with blue spectrum for grow & red for bud and proper shade with 6ft cord & ceramic socket.
SH Hydroponics > Horticultural Light Systems
I use 3 85watt CFL's for a 4x8x6 room and they work perfect 10 plants. I also use 1 85 watt CFL for my starting file cabinet works Perfect.
Bottom Line is you need QUALITY CFL's to grow

i'm gonna move this thread for you. it will be in the CFL section. you should find all the help you need there. happy growing.

To get any real growth at all using CFL's you should be using at least 5 per plant. During your flowering cycle you will want to double the lights in order to accheive to some nice tight bud. The best thing to do is have a few lights on top of the plant, and a few more around the side of the plant. In my case when i was growing with cfl's i used 7 per plant, and 14 during flowering...and my bud was almost as good as my 400W HPS. If done correctly cfl's can produce some great bud...but only if enough light is used.

right now im growing 3 plants of bc mango with 4 42w and 3 25w cfls with a hydroponic system and thier growin nice and bushy.

You can buy a 150w hps for $20 from econolight.

But just as a reference for CFL users... I used 600w on 16 plants and harvested 8 ounces. If that helps anyone.
