thats what im trying to do. get the whole stalk to be like a cola and have bud all the day down. is there any kind of tricks or tips to get that to happen so it wont have a bunch of branches? im growing ion a small space and i want it to be compact and about 12 inches tall with buds up and down.

what makes them better?? i grow with cfls, i have 23 26watters and 4 42 watters and i am growing 4 female plants right now. and they are jamming. first plant that i grew under them was five and half feet tall and yeilded around qp. its how you use your lights not what kind they are are how much you pay for them.

Because the lumen intenisty is higher so the deepth of penetration
Like a 30w clf has 2000 Lumen intensity (so it cant penetrate the bud deep enough thats why you get reli small buds)
125w Envirolite cfl 12000 Lumen intensity (Envirolites can penetrate bud ok still not great but still with more light it will)
400w hps has around 55000 Lumen intensity (hps will penetrate bud great up to 10 ft away)

lol ha ha ha it ant no ballast it is a pc power unit and it does not give of any heat it help the grow room because it has a fan in it as well as running 3 over pc fan's that is how i keep the room temp at a constant level around 25 all the time apart from a night where the temp must drop.... but thanks for the advice.

enviro light's have there ballast with the bulb and the heat from them is nothing and that is my plan for my secon grow room six plant sea of green with good tying down to get most light to the bottom of plant you cant grow with them in twind with each other and it look's realy cool. almost like lots of bonzi trees
