I was asking Del what type CFLs to use for 2-3 12-12fs plants and he said envirolite 200-250w..i guess that's what he was talking about!! Are they cheap to run each month like other CFLs?

I would agree with del there,and no they are cheap to run,but they do get quite alot hotter than you would expect,once you get to 200/250 watts anyway

They are cheap to run or not? Do you remember how much it added to your normal monthly light bill? How many plants could you do under a 250? Did you ever run one outside a PC case, what was your best yield?

It should pull just over 3kW untis a day. check the rate on your bill and do the math

I got a 23W osram cfl today wich claims equivalence to 120W and 3 year lifespan.... but it will burn your finger in like 5 seconds so thats over 50C. testing it against another bulb (eurolux) with two trays of 5 seedlings.

Nothing, planning it out now!! Going CFL though..
I'm thinking in turning on a couple cfls... for some cloning... I think cfls are great... my first grows where with cfls, and I think someday will try them out again like from start to finish, but for now still trying to squeeze that 400 to the max. also this is my first run with a 400.... hope you put your things together real soon, want to see some pics :)

I learnt quick about N def... hard times... :blsmoke:

Hello folks,

I am new to 12/12 from seed, and only my second indoor grow. I have a question on pruning. My plants are all around 1 ft high, do you think the fan leaves should come off?

I have 12 plant of different ages in my 3ft x 5ft box. I think I could have 7 in 3gal pot flowering at the same time that big, I seem to grow 3ft plus tall plants. I am doing 12/12 from seed in soil. It depends on strain, but I should get close to 2 oz per plant. Thanks for kind words...rw

Don't cut fan leaves, some guys lolly pop, cut off lower branches. I got dumb on my first grow and cut all the fan leafs off, ended up getting no weight. You can cut off leafs off here and there...rw

seems like you are a good farmer!

... what strain you grew was fast from seed to harvest day 12/12?

for my experience, pruning stresses... even if little... so for better yields and faster harvests I wouldn't do it...

Just start the 12/12 from seed this my 4th grow. I trying to get a perpetual grow going so can harvest every couple weeks, plus I add clones for fun. The sativa Dom., I think are going to be biggest and fastest grower...rw
