Can 456w CFL = 300G Dry? Nicoli Finds Out!

[IGotTheCottons]

I did have a question... With all that wattage in CFL's... Why not just get a HPS, and few CFL's for supplemental lighting? You'd be getting much more lumens per square foot, which would translate into more vigorous growth/fatter buds.

you must have hps in there, cfls cant grow that nice of plants

Please tell me you're just kidding. I've seen some great results from CFL's... Though I do admit, with that much wattage, a HPS would be the better choice.

Cuz its all I got atm.

I am upgrading to 1-2kw HID soon.

i just get shocked for how you get this fuck..shit suck an excellent final weight , i have a question for you about how many day usually for veg. i see your plant no look so high, i have new tent to try soon 100x50 x 150cm h and i want try cfl maybe ...
keep up the great work

i have a question for you about how many day usually for veg.

Well I veg usually for 1-2 weeks on most stuff, and I tie branches down during the first few weeks of flower to keep it short. Cheers

VERY impressive!

I was going to ask if I could borrow a book from you but I ll wait

Ahh, werd... That's what's up dude. Wasn't tryin to come across as bein critical. Was just curious is all.

Keep up the excellent work. I can't wait to see what you can do with HID. Gonna be a good show for sure.

thanks for the reply nicoli, i like your garden very much , with cfl you spend less in electricity ? like i have 250w hps if i put 250w in cfl i can keep some money or is the same ? thank for reply to my pointless question ...

You'd need a killawatt meter to measure for sure. I don't know they may be similar in electricity consumption when you consider the ballasts. Not much of a difference I bet. In the end, CFL's waste energy.

250w HPS uses the same amount of electricity as 250w CFL (unless you have a good HPS ballast, which is designed to run more efficiently/use less electricity).

The real difference is in the lumen output. HID lighting puts out many more lumens, per watt, than CFL's do.

Hey Nicoli, how long do you reckon you got till the girls are done?

I'm running 400w in a 2sq ft area. We will see how it turns out

4-5 weeks left on the Sour Creek x Casey Jones

6 weeks left on the rest

Give or take.
