Welcome New Members!

Hey guys,

New grower here. I signed up about a week ago and figured I would make myself a little known. I have already had several questions answered by the amazing people on this board and I am so thankful for all of the help so far. Hopefully some day soon, I will have enough knowledge to pay it forward as well. Thanks all!

Noobie

What's up guys just wanted to do a week 7 update. I got everything tied down with lst and bowl training. Pushing about 700 watts led. What do you all think.... Any tips sorry for the crappy pic
Use grow start where are the bud spots at? Im at the end of week 5 and mine are 2 1/2 ft talland thick. Use grow start r-12-4 its 10 bucks use 1/4 strength. Its gonna boost it for aure. Look at these as of now. These have 8 23w cfls each and they are growing like bushes with 12-16 shoots on each. My amnesia is about the size of those u got goin. I think cfl is better for growing compared to the led. Just a personal preference. My grow is cool and never any heat also i have the lights on 24-7. I got about 3000w equiv. I have 6 blue in all with these giving them full spectrum. Pretty basic setup under a 100 in lights and splitters. Good luck just passing my stuff along. Bigger pots, bigger roots, bigger yields. Happy growing.

Lumens aren't as important as PAR and YPF

IDK. My led full spectrum does really good. Yes cfls are. Cheaper to run but what's the since of using all them plugs. IDK I have used cfls before but to me it doesn't compare to a Good led
All the grow journals I've read and vids I've watched of cfl harvests the bud is airy and not as dense compared to LED and hps harvests. But shit if you're on a super tight budget go for it lol I'd just rather bite the bullet and spend the money on lights/tech made for cultivation and enjoy the superior product tho :D
