CFl-VS-HID show me good buds...

Sup everyone..

So i hear alot of conflicting things about HID and CFL buds...
So i hear CFL's make subpar airy fluffy buds...
Then i hear CFL makes awesome buds...
Same goes with HID...

Show me a shitty CFL bud compared to a awesome HID bud...

if anyone has a side by side proof of how HID produces
fuller better bud please show...

I want to see the proof!!!
Lets put the rumors to rest ROI!

First it's RIU not ROI. Second it's been proven that hid is the way to go. Not to say you can get good bud from cfls but you will have a lot more full dense buds and a lot more penatration with hid .

yay a grammer nazi! If u didnt realize that i meant to say RIU your retarded so thanks for showing me my typo...

Ya everyone and there mom says that hid lighting is the best and im not disagreeing...
Im simply asking people that have grown under each for there opinions as well as pictures...
I want to know how the lighting influences the buds...compare and contrast the pros
and cons of each and learn something...

So if u dont have pictures or opinions on this matter just bump it and learn instead of being a dickhead and
regurgitating info you hear and read. Have you personally grown under both types of lighting???

Thanks

RUI?
Roll It Up , say it with me now. RIU.
RIU is great but not when peeps like u come asking dumb shit.
the question you ask has been clearly answered all over the internet.
Pull ur head outa yer Arse.
Nuff Said.

Cool thanks bro

Your Welcome.
I have needed a slap from time to time in life.
No disrespect meant.
it's more about - Learn Respect, Earn Respect, Get Respect.
If you do 5 minutes of research on most any question related to growing you will find Journals, Light Charts, Color wave length charts etc.

If you can't find an answer ask a question, don't throw down a statement and demand proof like, well like an ass.
I have never done a side by side because It's a known that CFL can't put out the Lumens of HID.
I Veg under CFLs
I Flower under 400watts HPS with supplemental 190watts CFL side lighting.

So I can tell you they are both useful lights to use in growing.

Happy Motoring!

I've personally found cfl bud to give better quality even if its a bit airy..frostier, healthier, smellier

When I switched from outdoors to indoors I started with cfl, mainly cause I couldn't get approval for all my purchases from ma girl lol..it is what is....but I use 750 watts of cfl and love the bud. They do give less light but like the mh, it takes more energy to make blue light and its more effective to the plant idk exactly why the plants seem to prefer it but they do...eventually got a 600 watt hps, using clones or even the same plant split under the lighting, cfl bud was always preferred.......so now I run my hps and my cfl....constantly I'll add, I rotate crops under the lights

My first run was with cfl's. They grew decent buds.
Then I went on to an HID that brought additional problems with temps and
added costs. Well worth it though IMO.

I got larger yields with less veg time with the HID, but to be fair it was different strains
and nutes.

Bahaha...good answer dude...and don't worry about the haters, they forget about all the help they got for their "stupid questions"....and it depends on if you're growing a couple of plants or 20 to 30 of them...I have actually done both and I use nothing but HIDs now...If I was just growing 2 plants, I'd definitely go with CFLs, cause it's cheaper and you can get the same quality and quantity off them if you have enough lights and they're placed right.....Here are some comparisons....

My sister in laws OG at 3 weeks under 305 actual watts of CFLs...View attachment 2858529View attachment 2858530View attachment 2858531


My OG under 2,000w of HIDs...and ready for harvest...

I have been growing with HO T5 and after a little learning and experience I get super bomb hard hard dense buds.

No doubt man Thanks for the input that last pic is looking like amazing bud...

a lot depends on your grow size wants and needs
a 600w hps is tough to match with cfl's, though some skilled cfl growers come close
but that's 1 lb+ grow setup, which is great for some, but some of us keep it smaller
cfl's are excellent for small grows
