Would it be possible to flower under 2 x 200watt cfls (red spectrum)

[kingmonkeyman]

Hello, i was wondering if it would be possible to flower under 2 x 200watt cfls (red spectrum) ?

[h3rbalizer]

Yes, no problem as long as the spectrum is red for flowering and blue for veg.

oh I forgot to mention 100watt cfl ( blue spectrum)

for veg,any thoughts on Hesi nutrients

[h3rbalizer]

100w will be very slow growing cant you up it the same as the red spectrum? dont no anything about those nutes so cant comment sorry. hope this helps.

h3rbalizer is right the cfl's will do the trick but dont expect the bud dencatiy and weight as you would get from a hps

I know,it is just a one plant grow in a bedroom grow box, a lil hobby kinda

Thanks guys

How many plants are we talking for?

You need to hang vertically the 200W CLF right under 1 plant

So I suggest to have 200W Red + 100W Blue + 200W Red if you have 2 plants...

give us a report of what yo doing with those CLFs..

My last experience was that plants under the 200W CLF grown tiny buds if you only got that..try to give them the most power you can even adding the Blue spectrum one...

Yea you'l get buds under the cfl's

If you mix the spectrums you will do better,,

In veg I use 2 x blue 125wt and 1 x purple 125wt

If I bloom under cfl's I use 2 x red 125wt and 1 x purple 125wt ,,

Mixing the spectrum gives a much better result ,,

If you dont have purple use blue !

The yield will be smaller but it will taste damn fine ,,,,,

I have put a lot of time in with the cfl's over the past three years

Thats how I find I get the best results ,,,,,

Hey guys !!!!! Grown start to finish with cfl's! Flowered with 5- 68 watt spiral or twisty cfl's.

was lurking in the background for this thread and now i have decided that my test will be split in two rooms and a 250w CFL will be used for flower as i see the results can be awsome. and the energy saving a i am already running a 600w HPS and all sorts of gadgets...... DANK!
