you will be just fine with your cfl's to veg with... they may take a bit longer to veg to the height you want, I found... but the difference in energy usage, and heat production over a HID using to veg with, I found, is more more efficient with cfl's... so that's what I'm using from now on :aok:

finally changed after over 30 years :eek:
 
lookin good cowboy,i started in a cardboard box with a regular ole lamp. i wish i had of kept with the outdoor growing as this **** ties up some money quick.i've probably got 3000.00 in my setup so far and really need some more ****.i will not grow inside during the summer months,it cost to much to keep em cool enough.i boughta portable ac unit this past summer just for my ladies,crazy huh?keep if safe my brother.

Yeah,,I just grow personal stash for me and the ole lady so i dont need to much room. I am going to build a better one later though. I always loved growen outside. I just cant do it here yet. No fence where its needed.:eek:
 
Plants look awesome but that oil leakage under the v-twin looks concerning.

j/k bro - Just finishing a grow using cfl's all the way through.

Keep'm mean and keep'm green.

It looks like a nice thing you've got there. I started my seedlings using fluorescent lights. They actually get my my plants off to a better, faster start than with my MH; I can bring them in much closer.

Actually, in the past I did a complete grow, from start to finish using fluoros, and the buds were nice and dense. The yield from three plants was about five ounces. I used 4 40 watt 4 feet cool white bulbs for vegging. For flowering, I added 2 more 40 watt cool white bulbs, and 2 warm white bulbs. However, I put the additional 4 lights on the floor facing up towards the plants. But since then I've learned that light coming from underneath isn't effective, because the light needs to hit the top surface of the leaves in order to do photosynthesis.

At any rate, fluoros are nice for vegging. Good job, keep it green.

Also, be sure you can keep your refrigerator cool before you buy an HID. Keeping my closet cool is a hassle for me, even in the winter time (Warm and mild winters here.) If I would have known I was going to have heat issues I wouldn't have gotten my HID system. I would have invested my money in good quality fluoros instead.

Yes, I understand Andy's sentiment regarding the things we do for our ladies. I keep my windows open as long as I can take at night in order to get the place cool enough to start a new day in the morning. So, I make my self cold just so my plants don't sweat it. Andy buys an air conditioner. I'm thinking about an air conditioner too, something I wouldn't do for myself. Yep, this can cost quite a bit of money.

Sorry guys im outta town working, so I have no new pics to show. Missbudsky says that our Babies are looking real good. Said that one of them is out growing the others. She is having to minipulate the highth of the other two by putting things under them to keep them close to the CFL's. Give her a big hand guys,,she has done a great job of taking care of our Babies since I have been out of town. She hasnt over watered one time.:eek:

Im really worried,, cause she seems to have picked this thing up pretty good since I been gone. Crap,,,,,,my Babies aint gonna love me most,,anymore. Missbudsky has replaced me...:cry:Thats what happens when you leave them Home Alone with the Wify.:D

Shane,,,,come back Shane,,,come back!!!:bong:OK,,so im high, GO FIGURE.
