Diablo OG 250watt CFL coco coir grow.

Yeah you could but I wouldn't. The higher wattage you go with CFLs the less efficient they are, it's better off to get some lower wattage ones and spread them out over the grow area I believe.

Yeah I was thinking about getting a bunch of little ones but I don't feel like crafting a bunch of 65 watters into a small area, plus the ones i would get would be the mongrel sockets and that would be a hassle... If I do upgrade I'll probably get a 200 watt led that has flowering spectrum... I was thinking about putting two 150-250 watt mh/hps switchable digital ballasts in there but then it turns into a mess trying to figure out how to keep heat down..... Bulbs would get so hot I would def need inline fan but with the ballasts in my closet it would need to be a high powered inline fan and when I think about which one to get I'm stumped... It needs to be quiet enough so that I couldn't hear it from in my room but strong enough for two bulbs and two ballasts...

But then i start thinking about smells with a inline fan I would def need a filter otherwise it would push all the dankness around.

Might get an LED if the bud I get from this cfl isn't in the top three ranks of medical marijuana from the better clinics I go to...

I usually find one or two decent types of nugs from the clinics I go to... Usually it's more like there is only one out of the 20 strains that look healthy at the clinics here and usually the healthiest one hits the hardest for me... Sometimes I'm embarrassed by the quality of weed I see in clinics... I could grow better stuff then most of the crap in there looking like it was grown with just enough nutes to say to themselves maybe I can make some money selling this crap.

I know not to expect the best outta this bag seed grow but if they aren't hermies they are going to be some good low grade a buds... That's if things goes expected. But things can go better then my pessimistic view on life.

But who knows maybe the diablo og was pollinated by some shitty shitty males or a shit strain.

Let me get some pics up right now so I can record the data .

There's a pic of bulb at its current position about half an iPhone away from the nearest leaves from the middle four. I do occasional pot rotations when I see certain plants growth is needed... I try not to pick favorites because I know there will be males.

This one has 16 shoots..

15 shoots

This one looks like shit... Supercrop failed on it and it's tall and lanky.. Bet it's a male.

Also the gnats really pester me, been blasting them with 5ml of azamax per half gal for a week straight watering everyday and these damn things don't die!

I really need to kill these things... I'm thinking about using some spectracide by sprinkling it all over the trashbag but this is organic besides the miracle grow added in to increase yeild.

I've seen some frosty ass bud from cfls. Most of the time I do come across grow journals with cfl but it's usually someone using no nutrients or shitty soil. I'm just hoping I don't get some nasty brown nugs after curing... Let's hope I can get these gnats killed before I start budding.

So this stray cat came up to me about a year ago when I was smoking some bud and I gave it some food and now it won't leave! Now it's killing birds and shit

Man is it a good hunter gets a bird and brings it to the front door at least once every week...
This is last weeks kill.

Here's a pic from today... Man I wish the first ten seeds were viable... But I guess I'm lucky to have healthy plants from bag seed.

I'm prob gonna ditch the lanky one and the newly transplanted one... Idk tho... Might just keep those two in the shadows lol.

Anyone out there know when is a good time to trash this cfl and get a new one?
4-5 months?

I've been using the same CFL's for like 2 years Lol I think you'll be fine. I might replace it after a year of solid use if it was my only light.

That one in the back left, if she's female, is going to be funky I bet
