Here some pics of my 8 plants 3 weeks into flower.
There just some random dutch seeds mostly sativas buy the looks of it.
Im using 3 300watt cfls.
1 red,1 blue,1 dual spectrum=900watts total.
Im using coco soil both kinds orignal an pro plus version an added my own perlite.
I vegged for 5 weeks b4 i put them 2 flower they r now 8 weeks old an looking good.
I topped 6 of them and left the other 2 normal.
Im feeding them hammerhead pk 9-18 flower booster an stimulater and giving them every other feed canna coco veg&bloom a-b all in 1 solution just 2 keep up the nitrogen a bit.
So wat do u think of my first cfl grow.done a couple grows b4 but never used cfls.
So please comment the more info the better!!!!!!!!!!

Probably a good idea. I tried growing without a Cool Tube using a 600w light and although I had a nice little harvest, things greatly improved when I was able to cool things down with a proper vented hood. Make sure and keep those CFL's as close as you can without burning and you'll have nice nugz for sure.
 
any 1 else got some advise
Im getting more and more respect for CFL! But Im confused...you said you have three 300 watt CFL? Isnt that just a little less wattage than a 1000 w HPS?
Reason I ask is, is there some reason to not go ahead and get a 600 or 1000 HPS?

Just for the sake of comparison, here's a plant under a 600 HPS on day 16 of 12/12 and another of a plant outside in the SUN for three weeks...of course strains differ. But the best we can do is SUN..or as close to it as possible. I think yer buds are gorgeous for the light they have, but if you're running 900 watts anyway...?

yeah its 900 watts but yhe light is still so much better coming from hps then cfls
its alot more peneetrating even to have a 400watt hps would b better then 900watts
