Flowering with CFL's??

Has any had personal experience flowering with CFL's? Im probably going to use HPS, but im wondering if maybe it would be cheaper to try out CFL's, and see how that work's. Because I don't want my plant to grow real tall, just super bushy!!! so ye or ne on CFL flowering?? Thanks

i never pass on a chance to show my pix, this was done with 78w of cfl's, that's 3 26w

about to try that myself.. still in veg but i have seen some VERY nice flowering from cfls

Growone,
How long did it take to get to that point (in the picture)?? how many k's were the 26wt bulb's??? and did you use a reflector on it?

and did you use 3 26wt throughout the entire process, or just the flowering stage? They look like really dense bud's, for sure!! Good job..im sold on using CFL's this time...Then maybe my next grow ill use HPS..

this was 19 days of veg and 11 weeks of 12/12 - she didn't want to finish
vegged with 3 26w 5500k, flowered with 3 26w 2700k
and i used a 15 x 38 inch tube, one large circular reflector, i milked the lumens for all they were worth

im using 4 hanging and 3 stationary way up above them all 26watt bulbs so im using 182 watts and using reflectors on the 4 hanging ones ... i like my set up

So two and a half month's of flowering..nice..How tall was it when you stopped vegging and started 12/12?? and what would you compre the size of the bud's to??

My 4 plant's are about 6 inches tall right now, with 4-5 nodes. Im thinking about starting flowering, but im affraid that they won't get much bigger. But i heard that when you start flowering, they start growing pretty quick. Did that happen with you?

she was 5 inches tall when i started 12/12, ended at 29 inches, and here's some bud size comparison

In that case, im going to get three or four 23wt 2700K and start flowering this weekend...Thank's a lot man..do you have any real close up's of your bud?? I would love to see it real close..

well, i took trich pictures in plenty, camera wasn't the best so the prior bud picture was my best, so here's a tric picture instead

Starting the flowering process with 3200K?? Could that work?

yes 3200k work just fine

When you went to 12/12, how did you keep the heat in the room/grow box?? Mine is a closet grow that is 4' wide 7' long and 8' high. So when I go to 12/12, im concerned with how im going to keep the 80f temparature.

u can use red spectrum enhanced cfl's and they work good if u have plenty of em
we haved used them before and they were ok

So, was this three bulbs per plant or did you have multiple growing?
