any store that sells light bulbls will have cfls........but fuck the cfls.you need to get your self some hps......now your doing thingshi,
as title says really.
if any1 has good experience / value from an internet site then please share the link so i can check them out.
it will probably be cheaper than getting them from somewhere like Homebase & B&Q (if they even sell them! - havnt checked).
just include info on things like, discounts u may of gotten, delivery times etc etc
thanks.
p.s i live in UK so would be better if i didnt have to buy them from over sea's!
before you buy the cfls...make a list of what you will need to hang them and the cfls them selves..add up the cost and i am 100% sure you can find a hid set-up for the same money or less...and the hid will be more efficient to run than the cfls also.....unless you plan on only using 1-3 cfls..and if that is the case.....dont even bother...right, ffs!! i know people are trying to help but i have stated at least 3 times i am in the UK. how can i get to walmart, target,sears lowes etc. i was looking for a cheap site or any1 in UK that had experience in retail shops over here.
im not ordering over sea's. i wanna pay with good ol' Great British Pounds and not have to pay alot of postage etc.
nickfury, i havnt started anything yet,lol. only just germinating bagseed to see how it goes. waitin till i get my CFLs 1st. plus moving into my new house paying all tha bills im gonna want to keep the cost down, so CFL's all the way for me.
as for now, yes, im doing my first grow with it, iive had it on flower for 10 days no, my node space is anywhere from 1 inch to 1/2 inch wich is really good for flourecent, ive lst'd it, wich i recommend for anyone using cfl's or flourecent unless you plan on have a cfl with a refeclector on just about every cola, thats the only way you get a good yield with cfl. heres a pic of my plant as of 3 days ago. I cut the top off after 6 nodes to keep it small, and as the colas started to grow i pruned the original fan leaves off slowly till they were gone, when your using flourecent you want to make sure the important parts of your plants are recieveing the most light possible.Did you veg and flower with that light only?

lol.....i tried growing with cfls...buy the time i was halfway through my veg i had spent around $200 on more lights and more shit to hang them with and spliters and fans ( because yes cfls do get hot) only to buy a hps light in the end.....im just trying to keep someone else from wasting a bunch of cash and do things rightNickFury, man you are like the ultimate cfl hater lol. They burn your house down or some shiot?
I mean i dont prefer them but you straight hate on them..lol
So i think going back to the question asked in this thread...lol.....i tried growing with cfls...buy the time i was halfway through my veg i had spent around $200 on more lights and more shit to hang them with and spliters and fans ( because yes cfls do get hot) only to buy a hps light in the end.....im just trying to keep someone else from wasting a bunch of cash and do things right![]()
