yo uno, i have 2x grow closets. both 6x6x8. my hps in the flower room is stationary. its hangin right in the middle, the ballast is down and to the right of my carbon filter/exhuast fan, 6inch inline from htgsupply. ran me about 35 with shipping, plus cost of diy carbon filter. the only intake i use is leaving the door cracked while the lights are on. i really need to implement some kind of intake to leave the door shut but right now this is working. its in my bedroom which has a 5kwatt btu window unit. i keep my bedroom door closed all the time. temps generally run from 77-84 depending on how hot it is outside here and how big of a crack i leave, and my traffic in and outta my room. if i close the closet door it slowly jumps to 85-90 depending on how long i keep it shut, i VERY rarely close it when lights are on.

here are a few pics, from earlier when i had the CFL rig up then later with the hps up. im about 2-3 weeks from finishing up on these girls. note that one monster plant in the middle of the cfl pic, then again close up of it, then the pics of it current it puts the others to shame. was a different strain than my others.

Nice Set up man, really nice
 
dude - those are the darkest plants i've ever seen - granted i'm relatively new to all these fancy strains
what in hell are those?
My seeds came from a a little brick that I bought here in Argentina, and most of the weed here comes from neighboring countries such as Paraguay and Bolivia and I found this pic...



It's dark like mine so I figure I have the same strain, I don't know if they are sativa or what, but they probably have bad genes... so luckily Iĺl buy a better strain...

this could be a very good strain - bag seed can be very worth while grows
tell you the truth, i thought they were some expensive exotic strain

Hey Ery, just read your grow journal. I couple of lanky ones that are in soil that I will practice the prune with, But my Hydro's are nody as hell and have huge freakin fan leaves. I noticed in your journal you went to 12/12 at about 3-4 weeks from seed and then another 45 days of flower before harvest. I have some pics I took last night but being somewhat(actually a whole lot) computer illiterate I can't attach em. Damn how embarrassing !

So yeah you CAN grow good bud with cfls. that plant im holding in the pic was grown with a t8 shop light fitted with 5-8 cfls. here are some better pics of it growing

i think the key to growing good bud with cfls is keep the lights close. not vegging for too long, so you can get light all over the plant, its just hard to do with big plants and cfls.
OOOOoooooh, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pics are really pretty! What strain is that? I wanna try that one!
