I would wager I love plants even more than you. Unfortunately I don't live in Michigan. :(

Welcome to RIU.

You interested in 12/12 from seed, or are you just figuring out the forums?

EDIT: or possibly both.

Has anyone used 2700k CFL's for a full grow of 12/12? I'd like to see what results I can expect. Cheers.

Personally(even though it's my first grow) I started them off in seedling trays, then transplanted them to party cups. Now they're in 8 litre pots soaking up all the yummy stuff!

You have a lot of reading to do. I spent 3 months researching before I started growing. Good luck with everything.

This was done 12/12 with 2700k CFL's from start. I had 6 plants, 8 68 watt (home depot special) in 4 light fixtures with a Y splitter and 1 true 250 watt CFL (100.00 at hydro store). I pulled almost 14 ounces (dried) and I just switched to MH and HPS to see if the yield increases. As has been well documented before, you can grow great plants with CFL's. Sour Cream.jpg

I will say this, be very careful on watching your plants growing into the lights. I kept my lights extremely close (within 3-5 inches at all times) and sometimes the plants would grow into the light. If you notice in the picture you can see the burns.

Bigger pots = bigger yield!
