cfl's work fine! there are documented grow's here, that are as good as any grown under mh,hid,led, or any light source! I use both, and alway's have. and talk of replacement....why? use them both, more lumens, better growth.:Sharing One:

And turning your whole led light with something like 300w on in veg is just simply overkill. U can use it to save alot of electricity cost.

Please don't take what im saying negative,!!!!!!!

Im saying your gonna be blown away by the led. Your not going to need cfl!!!!

I never take anything you say negative always happy with the advice.
The closet I'm working with is really reflective on the part on which I close it with (it closes from the top) and when it's shut down there's actually a lot of light at the bottom + sides. I'll try pust a pick of how it looks on the inside when closed.

Looking really good! Is it 200w actual draw?

Yes the v300 is 300 watt and 200 watt actual wattage!

We have a lot of CFL growers on here. I would argue that most lights discussed on AFN have their own place and niche in most growers tents, and there are a plethora of grow journals to back up all of the claims.

With all due respect bro, I don't understand the necessity of your sarcasm when he's looking for answers to his questions. Please keep on topic with what he's asking and leave the snarky comments behind. If you have to disclaim that you're "just making a joke," there's a fine line between constructive criticism and just being a dick.

Thanks.

Thanks for sticking up for me but there's no need for that.
We're just fucking with each-other. (not literally)

I know I did do a lot of research into growing so I know a thing or two about light spectrums etc..
And I am going to keep using both.

Yeah I was going to do it this way for my next grow:
1. start with 45 watt 6500K CFL.
1.5. I might buy an extra 45 watt 6500K so if I do I add that when needed before step 2.
2. add the 150 watt 2700K when the plant needs more light.
3. switch on the led's when I feel like it's the right time or when she starts flowering.

(or first the led's and then the 150 watt not sure yet maybe the led would be better)

the sun keeps the same spectrum all the time, so I keep all light's going.the more the better. as many spectrums as you have.you still cant beat the sun, but you can get as close as you can.

This is what it looks like closed, inside (btw I think my camera has to much contrast) as you can see in the picture from the hole the plant is not focused and is way lighter then when she is in-focus and to my eyes the inside is even brighter.

also this hole is in a grey closet which when I look at it is pretty bright but in the picture it's black.

Yes that's right. Their is a lot of logs on here about cfl grows. Theirs logs about mushrooms and breeding also. Lots to read man... But Please show me the "competing" cfl grow to the following. I'm a firm believer now. Going to walmart as we speak.
