CFL Cellar Grow

[Fingolito]

Tell you truth only ever used CFL power because they are great in closets or small areas and because they aren't hot as HPS you can get them so close to the plant

but all depends on pot size for cfls and how many bulbs you can get in a tight space

I think thats where CFL's kinda fails, one light per plant is pretty much the way to roll with those lights. I think that the lux output is way too irregular, you get a sweetspot in the middle and then the lumens drops drastically a few inches away. I see all successful cfl grows use a combination of lights for spectrum and footprint and with these big bulbs I believe it is very hard to actually achieve any mixed spectrum since the zone where they actually mix is less than two inches from the light.
Same issue from what i see with COB leds that gets way too focused par ratings in the middle and the sides drops a lot.

This was a setup I used for a couple of weeks between building and tinkering haha. I like the photo because you can clearly see how much stronger the led is compared to the cfls and its half the wattage.

Well CFL plants need training to maximise the lights and I don't know why CFL get so bad rap I've loved them for my grows but saying that I'm going 1200hps for the next grow . it's northern lights x haze so wanna use HPS to unlock its full potential I don't think CFL would be good enough

I would go 1000w led instead if you want full potential

Crazy progress on the last 3 they've recovered from the stunted growth and are finishing up with bulking up.

Crazy first thing for me on this grow is a twin top nugs on the branch! Don't know if people have had it happend but first for me and I love the crazy bud !

Nearly at the end !! The early 2 are curing amazing it's already got a earthy Woodsy smell
