That is unbelievable. I too grow using CFL's all the way to flower. I supplement the undersides with Floro tubes. This has me thinking of not investing in a MH/HPS

You should use the same room and supplement your style with hydroponic for one grow and see what kind of different results you get comparatively.

well...I yet am not very informed on this method of growth and I do not know yet very well the process. i am afraid to do a mistake and put all over the water on my floor....
plus its very more work for almost nothing... i will maybe try it with one of my other rooms..... i let you know :)

Hi, nice grow but i don't know about this:

the point why i dont keep them like 2" of the leaf is the plant always want to get at the light... if i get them to much far... they will stop increasing in heigh.....
would HPS grower say "I'm growing with CFLs from now on. With HPS my plants grow too small."?

my opinion - you can get more from shorter plant if she is has more light.

The man is getting between 1 and 1.5 pounds every 4 months doing what he is doing, I think he is doing pretty good with this set up. :peace:

I have been studying. The Lumens you get from CFL can be more easily absorbed than those that are emitted from HPS or MH the KEY is bulb proximity to the plant. You want light as close as possible on EVERY leaf! Supplemental light for your undercarriage is Neccesary with CFL. I have this same set up ATM. My problem is the CFL's are only available in a low kelvin, so I use them In conjunction with tubes. I will Be Investing in a HPS/ MH conversion kit. I will use this in conjunction with my floro's, this is tricky however, How do you keep the CFL's close to the plants, and still allow light from the MH/HPS from above at the plants? Maybe i will rig something up so i can move my cfl's to the sides of the plants, and keep the HID over top. Any Ideas are helpfull.

that is awesome dude. Just keep taking pictures from that angle. Can't wait for like 3 weeks from now....those buds are gonna be soooo pretty. I wanted to use a bathroom light like that but I have clue how to wire it, wish they just had plug-in versions of that.
