Very gorgeous plant anxious to see results

Thanks Green75! Also quite curious on the final weigh-in with this baby. So many "patience" lessons when growing!! Thanks again, your input is highly valued! 😊

25 days from emerging. I wanted to show my CFL light setup, and how my baby Bubba looks without topping or training. Each bulb is 60 watts, and all the 6500K bulbs will soon be replaced by 2700K's. I feel I'm on the way to a nice harvest! 🌻

auto's seem to love CFLs, i grow autos in a home made box that had 12 100w CFLs in it and my plants loved them.
Now i have a tent with LEDs and i think the CFLs did better.

Exactly where I'm at. I started out in a closet with a bunch of CFLs, and I had plants that grew like crazy! Now I have a tent with a 250/400w MH, and the growth is tight, it's just not quite as fast and vigorous as I'd like lol thinking very hard about making a "CFL board", or just a piece of wood that fits in my tent that's loaded with CFLs, for my veg, and see how that could work out.. Either way, I'm with ya! Lol

Wow Gordo41, that's a whole lot of CFL wattage. I thought I had reached max at about 500! Guess you don't always know until you try it. Thanks for sharing!

That was equivalent watts not actuall at the wall but i go more by Lumons and Lux light output. That 12 CFLs put out 21,000 LMs.

Right now i have them under an 8 bulb 2'x2' T5 unit, just to see how well they do, and so far they seem to like it.
T5 might be a good addition to any other light sorce especially for side lighting.
