Colorado CFL Grow Lights

The best way to grow pot with CFL grow lights

   OK lets face it, we all know you can grow weed with CFL grow lights, but can you grow good weed? Well yes you definitely can! Not only can potlovers grow bomb weed using powerful CFL units, but you can rival traditional more expensive hps grow lights in yield and quality!
  The way to use CFL's as grow lighting is in how they are applied. First, use plenty of light. I mean LOTS of light. Buy lots of CFL's, they last a long time and are still lower costing than the others. I recommend getting a SuperMax 2000 watt CFL unit from http://CFL-GrowLight.com.

  HARVEST CYCLE:
  CFL's in the bud cycle should be put as close as 2” to the buds, while never being farther than 10” from the top of the plant. You should keep your bud growth area to about 2 ½ feet to 3 ft under your grow lights for the best outcome.
  Growers mistakenly use CFL's just like HiD's or HPS lights and try to get the same results. That mayhad by using the CFL grow lights the right way. CFL's don’t penetrate as far as HiD or HPS plant lights do because of the lower Lumen count, however in the first few feet of light, CFL grow lamps can exceed HiD, and HPS units systems in TOTAL USABLE light. What that means is the CFL grow lights produce less overall light or lumen, however more lumen in light colors that pot plants want. Thus, better growing methods such as, scrogging, pinching, sea of green, and lollipoping are much recommended when using CFL grow lights. In fact whether your using traditional lights or low energy lights like CFL's, those methods are still highly recommended. Even using HiD's, or HPS units, the growth under two or three feet tends to be wispy, popcorny and pretty shitty for smoking.

GROW CYCLE:
  Just out! CFL grow lights for veg are the most powerful low cost vegetation lamps on the market. Period.
  OK, I'll explain. Today about half of all indoor growers still use T-8 or T-5 fluorescent tube setups for their plants during the vegetation cycle with good results. Fluorescent are widely believed to be the closest artificial light to sunlight. Its no wonder tanning beds use fluorescent light. CFL's or compact fluorescent lights are the same type of light only in a compact from. CFL bulbs are easier to position, and provide more intense light in the same space over traditional fluorescent tubes do.
 While traditional 400 watt and 650 watt T-8's and T-5's have done a pretty good job, using a 1400 watt or 2000 watt CFL growlight system makes a lot more sense. With one of those units your getting 3 – 5 X's the light from a unit with roughly the same initial cost. Many people report getting 2” - 4” inches of growth a day using powerful CFL grow lights.


CONCLUSION:
  Hey CFL grow lights might not be for you, but if your into saving money while still growing some good quality dank, you might wanna give em a try.
