"First off, Im not 100% completely in love with your tone right now"
Why the attitude? bcuz I said U were making a halfway fair statement?
I coulda swore I said I agree with you that the yeild would not be the same, and that the plants would grow quicker and larger...
but as far as U making a judgement on the way his plants will turn out when he was only on day 9 of flowering isnt fair at all. You cant see the future, so how do you know he will only get shitty popcorn buds? Bcuz he's using CFL's? Everyones grow is different, and U never know what his strain is capable of doing unless U have grown it yourself. and he's only using 6 CFL's for 2 plants! how do you know what would change if he used 12, 24, or 48 CFLS? would it be shitty? according to you, no matter how many you use, in the end the results will be shitty," bcuz MH/HPS are the only way to go! "
That is such a closed-minded and outdated way of thinking. It doesnt matter what level of grow I am on, if I am convinced that CFL's are good for growing,thats my opinion. are they better than MH/HPS? hell no! but you can still get a great quality product with them. MH/HPS is not the ONLY way to go, buts at the moment it is only second best to the sun....thats what I believe and anyone who disagrees with that is gonna have to deal with it.
There is always room for improvement in every grow, even the best grower has room to improve. But if a person so chooses to have 6 CFL's to grow, who are you to tell them that their product is gonna be shitty if your not a psychic? Even if you grew with CFL's and had a shitty product, doesnt mean his product will be shitty, bcuz you have your way of growing and he has his...(lol alliteration is funny)..
so if you chose to respond, remember I never questioned the validity of your statement, only the fairness of it.
^^Exactly, and also it matters a lot what the grower does...not JUST what type of lights they use. But its ok, Im not even tryin to argue with a "Professional" fellow Pot Grower..bcuz Im just an amature, but THM you have my support, you're growing a great looking plant and I want you to finish this journal to prove to not just me and TTDID420 but to everyone that you are capable of growing great with CFL's.
Kudos
Everything in the red....
thats not attitude from me, you will know when i am giving you "attitude"
I know he is in the early stages of flowering, ive grown with CFL's many times before, i am saying this from experience man the BUD is NOT THE FUCKING SAME. thats what im saying, you agreed with me...when grown under CFL's it is Loser and Fluffy buds, When grown under a HPS there tight and covered in resin. He is growing 2 plants under 6 CFL's, yes and want pictures? just go check out Major_tokes grow journal... 5 CFL's for one plant, he even agree's the quantity is crap. Lol what kind of newb are you Defending CFL's. Yes if you have 12, 24 , 48 CFL's you can get higher yeilds and grow more plants, 2 plants under 6 CFL's i minimum, the buds he has will double in size. How do i know what will change if he uses more bulbs? ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID.... MORE LUMENS = MORE LIGHT = MORE PLANT GROWTH = BIGGER BUDS.
when did i once say if you used that many CFL's it would be shitty? you're Lumen count with that many bulbs would be compaired to a HPS, so no shit they would grow good. but why the fuck buy that many, thats stupid.
12, maybe even 20 CFL's is the max you should get. And im compairing them to a HPS.... so yeah there not going to be as good as a HPS. MH/HPS is the Correct way to go when growing indoors.
Who am i to say its going to be shitty? someone who has grown many times before. And i never said his plant was shitty, im saying if he use's a Mh/HPS it would be alot better, Hence you see the buds in the last pic... 1x bigger in not BAIRLY 2x bigger then day 9.... No im not a Physic dude i know how to grow marijuana tho. You arnt the smartest fish in the barrell are ya?
and yes Alliteration is funny, cause you have the iq of a 2 year old.
I never said Growing with CFL's is not capable... I said HPS is the way to go, and if you say other wise you're not to bright.
O and THM, i dont need eny tips from you mate... think i started growing today?
Why do i keep saying CFLs grow popcorn bud? because its true, if you guys are too Inexperienced to realize this yet... you will learn in time young grasshoppers. im not saying there is enything wrong with the finished product(IF YOU GET ENOUGH CFL's on them) Major_Toke has a CFL grow journal, the finished product is fine ill smoke it, but compaired to a HPS i would take the bud grown under the HPS when you grow with a HPS you will realize what i am talking about.... untill then forget it.
I coulda swore I said I agree with you that the yeild would not be the same
There ya said it you're self.
NOT THE SAME Less quantity, Less Quality, Very little difference in flavor depends on nutrients.
When i say popcorn bud, LIGHT AND FLUFFY. CFL grown. HPS make Dense TIGHT HEAVY nugs.
GET IT YET?
Cheers mates
P.S - You need 38 42w with a 150w output thats... 1596watts... with a output of 5700watts... at 2750 lumens each is around one 600watt 95,000 lumens. all you can do is cover more area.... but why? If you Concentrate it, its alot better.
I was going to go on to explain to him that lights do infact play a part in the growth and production of the plant, but there are so many more factors that contribute to it... it's quite ignorant to state that you will get nothing of worth while from CFLs.
