Thanks everyone. in the process of building a new grow box for flowering gonna install my hps soon. if i can get buds like this with cfls then i can't wait to see what the hps does.. is it possiable to have to much light? i ask because my new flowering box will be 4 square feet and i have a 400 watt hps. im worried about the light being to intense in such a small area.

I currently have a 400watt 55,000 lumen lamp in a 2' x 3' area, 5.8sq ft to be exact. I have a luminosity of about 9,800lm/sq ft. Let me tell you, heat issues are a huge *****. Over-illumination is not that easy to get away with. But if you can adequately cool and run everything, you will notice a huge difference. Even with my lamp 24 inches away, plants stay tight and compact, with just centimeters between each node on the stem. No searching for light here, sir!
But at the same time, if you have the option of building your own box, why not just make more room for more plants? It will make heat management much easier, you'll still have more than ample light, and you of course produce more bud.

the area im gonna place the grow box only allows so much room. so my new box will be 2.6 x 2.6 x 5 this box will be for flowering only. should be plenty for a 4 plant rotation. the bud in the picture was a whole plant cut off at the ground. so 4 of those should fit fine. i hope

You should be fine. I have a 400 watt MH/HPS light in a 5x5x8 room and the heat my light puts off is crazy. You must have good vent ventilation.
What kind of CFL setup?How many, wattage,what K,lumens and such?
Im curious because i am doing my 1st indoor grow with CFL's.

sorry about that.. this is an old thread and i missed it when it came around every time. when i grew that one i only had a few cfls. that one was grown with 3 of 42 watt 2700k 2700 lumens per bulb. each bulb was in its own reflector above and around the plant.. grown 12/12 from bagseed. i hadno grow room then just light around plants in the bottom of my closet.
when i stopped usin cfls i had 17 42 watt 2700k bulbs in a 2x2x4 box. worked great.. i just wanted to try out the $20 hps and so far its nice.
