cfl grow

This is my second grow with night terror kusk. I'm using 8 cfl bulbs in a rixtor I made with an exhaust and a 45 watt round cfl along the side . It's growing in soil I made with earth worm casting . Perlite . I veg for 8 weeks and in that time I topped and bent the main stem 2 times.

I'm broke and can only afford store bought lights. At the moment I have 10 1650lumn. Cfl lights my grow are has a.c. but I know Led lights are were a lot of inside growers are using. But will this style bulb work as well, better, or at all. (750 lumn. Daylight/6500k led.) I know the cfl have...

This is the box after I got it in the attic . the inside dimentions are 49"x23"x33. I used a mixture of reflective roofing board. And styro board. Both seen to be doing very well. I have the box tied into the a.c. duct that was very close by (blocked off the vent below and redirected airflow...

Ok my name is Tom and my grinds call me "ripp". Cause all I do is smoke... I work too but even then I'm smoking so. Ok the reason I am asking for advise is this is my first grow and I have made a lot of obvious mistakes (miracle grow etc) I have had vertuily no cash and came by all my meterials...

As I am using CFL's to grow ( I know that its not the best way to grow) and I have an 85watt 5500k cfl. Can I use this ? will it be beneficial in anyway ?

First and foremost i would like to give a big shout out to all the people who diligently hone their skills while helping others to achieve success.I would like to thank RIU for being a medium for people like myself to "soak up" vital bits of information. I plan to become an active memeber on...

Hi folk, anyone able to fit a 250w cfl in a 5inch cool tube? I'm thinking using 2 x 250w or 1 x 250 red and x 125w blue.

i was thinking to make a good DIY CFL setup for my grow space,but instead of making holes with a drill driver or find a piece of wood to stick all light s sockets into it ,i thought why not use a track lighting, I am still not sure if it works.because i couldn't find any cfl grow setup with...

Good afternoon. I am using a grow box for stealth. Everything I have read says to put CFL bulbs close to the plants. 1-2 inches. In my boxes the walls are covered in reflective material. Here is the question... Do the bulbs still have to be that close? I moved them based on what I read and the...

I've always grown indoor and the past two grows I've put my plant in the full sun to "finish out and dry out". I've noticed the smell was a lot stronger and the cure process is cut shorter. Has anyone done this or read about the benefits if any of putting a plant that has been grown indoors...

Trying for the first time to grow a few plants. Read as much as possibly could for CFL growing . I have found a consensus that says 40-42 W is needed for each plant. Want to know if the CFL's the I have, that say 13W equals 60w is the 40 -42w per planted needed. Or do I get 3 CFL 13w to equal...

I have a lemon skunk 8 weeks into flowering, the bottom Bud site pistils have started browning yet the top has all white pistils. I know it's getting close to harvest so just needed some advice on how much longer I am looking forward to.

Planted my germinated seeds in soil roughly 30 hours ago..they just broke the soil with little hooks visible. I will be growing with cfl's only. Was wondering what is too much light for the newly sprouted seedling. I have 6000 lumens combined on the two for now, roughly 6 inches above the...

Hi a friend of mine is currently growing an autoflower seed hairs are about 75% orange but not swelling much. It is about 34" tall. Should he start flush? Should he continue to feed. He is currently using the go box with the co2 bag a total off 200 watts. Heres a pic someone help?????? Noob by...

Im just looking for a few opinions here, so I have a old dresser which I hollowed out , how many plants do you think I would be able to grow at one time using cfl lighting and coir and what would I most likely be able to harvest from each

So I've been posting a few threads kinda asking the same questions, now that I've hollowed the dresser it's "Daaamm Rookie!! Back at again wit da questions" So I might go with setup A using 4 corsair Sp120 cpu fans, (intake+exhaust) a few cfl lights and trying to build a carbon filter. Where...

Can someone help with correct ph for organic soil to use, and or the optimized temps to use, I have read many different opinions but something I'm not doing right is making leaves a bit brownish on the tips. I uploaded some pics. I was using RO with added cal and mag added back in with 5.8 ph...
