Veg for this plant was 30 days. Flowering is day 85 today. 115 days overall and it's still not finished. 184 watts of 2700k in the top hood and 52 of 2700k watts in the side hood for a total of 236 watts cfl. A couple weeks back I added a 100w COB 2700k, but my plants stature was achieved by the cfls, prior to adding the COB.

I wish....the most I've ever gotten off one plant was about 6.5 ounces from a New York diesel x OG kush from seeds I was gifted from another member.Now the most I've gotten from my 40 cfl bulb 920w actual watt closet was about 10.5 ounces from a solo cup run,but I can only fit so many until I have to cull out males.In the end the closet was only half full.

I honnestly would love to go back growing with them over my hps if it wasnt such a cunt to get everything rigged up. the space it takes. etc.. my hps is easy lol hood-bulb-ballast-a/c-fan-vent-done. no 10000 wires around

Lol, as long as you know how to manage it, 800 watts of light is 800 watts of light, no matter the source. Yeah, man fuck all of the wires. I'm annoyed enough by the ammount of wires I have right now. I could only imagine the amount you had!

I've already noticed the diminishing supply of cfls at all of the home improvement stores, and the led wave coming through to wreck shit lol. I can't see how the fuck they're doing this when I can still buy incandescents at all of these stores.

Plants look really good, and that's a clean set-up. My only suggestion would be to lower the lights to within 4-2 inches from touching the plants. Your plants will love it and it will stop them from stretching severely. Stay lit

That was just for the pic and as they are now it's really close

I first switched to household led bulbs. The higher intensity ones ran quite hot. I then progressed to led 4ft tubes, which ran cooler due to more heat sink. Finally, led grow panels came of age and I switched several years ago
