Lighting Biggest yield from CFL'S?

[wrekstar]

What are your guys biggest yield's from using ONLY CFL'S
i'm using two 125w cfl's
hoping to get good results

how many watts you guys used?
what strain?
and final dry yield?

 

[head p]

i got once 6-8 oz estimated from cfl's.... the only draw back, i was using 700 watts, well 2 250 watt u shaped cfl and 2 96 was 2 foot 4 bulb t5, so basically 700... weed was great, wasnt as bulky as some, but maybe couldhave let it gone longer.... dont understand people that knock cfl's, they work if u use them effectively... strain was 3 plants 2"silver haze" and one mid bag... mid didnt yield much, nor was the strength near that of the silver haze

also to mention these were regular photo period strains

from one plant
how long veg?

3 plants, 3 gallon pots... 2 claimed sliver haze, and one mid bag... pulled about one of the mid, it was short and bushy.... allways top my plants from a young age, cept auto's...the sh grew taller so i super cropped almost every out growing branch to just lay o top of the can opy, to streach around the bulbs... cause you have to be close to cfl's for them them to give energy

the sh was from clone, which had started to flower so i had to re veg it back into veg, this whole time took like 6-8 weeks i would say from when the clones were cut/mid seed planted 3 of that 6-8 weeks was re veging the clone from flower back to veg... hope this clears things up a lil

I pulled 29.1 g using 182 watts of 2700k cfls. Rock solid nugs. In a PC case at that. One plant masterkush bag seed. I used a baby wipe box as my Co.gainer. I grew with a screen u.derived neath the plant so I would always have a place to die it down when she got out of control. Heavy Lst and defoliation all the way till flower. Hope this helps. No fancy nutes either. Lol. I don't know why that's funny... but it is to me right now. good night guys.
