That is a crazy looking cfl grow Cannabizness =]
And though I don't have any finished pics... you can check out my cfl grow as it progresses... I was going to veg with cfl's and flower with HPS... but decided to go all CFL.. mostly out of curiosity.... so far, I'm hooked on cfl micro grows... and that is were the problem is.... I believe CFL's are only practical in small enclosed very reflective spaces... I'm not saying you can't do a full closest grow with cfls... just that iw would be more practicable do go with HID's like MH and HPS.
When ever I start a closet grow or bigger, I will go all HID, but for now I'm sticking to my micro cab cfl grow =]
THE TRUTH! i feel the exact same way bro, its not worth it outside of a micro cab grow, cfls are just AMAZING for the little grower inside all of us to get started, im buying my 400/600w hps in like 2 weeks for next op, and good luck to thread started with his grow also
and smokerscraft, i use 12 CFLs 27 watt (100 equivalent) 1800 lumens each 8 are 2700 or w/e and 4 are 6500 kelvin i found it works quite well, im using a double stacked 2 33 gallon rubbermaid tubs with 3 exhaust fans now, its gettin HUMID with those buds in there boys! its fucked, the whole room was good on heat/humidity until they started budding fiercely in like week 3-4, then it became a huge problem but its settling down now at 29 deg -33 % humidity in ON schedule, and 22 deg, 50% in OFF sched, and i see no problems so im good right? anyone on temp/humidity that could reassure im not fucking up my plants? other than that im so happy for a first ever grow
