Im going to look into LED at some point in the future, but i'll get a couple of grows sorted first before i change tactics

could be going for a DWC next grow, lets see what happens

sorry to be a bit of a pain just wondered it said on your first post you use big bud for bloom is that all your gonna use and what are you gonna use for vegging ?
the tomato feed?

 

[medic grower]

Well i did a lot of Cfl runs and i can say its not worth the effort and Money. I even replaced my 400w hps setup with 1 180w Led and it works out. 300w Cfl is lumen/lux wise a waste of bucks.

 

[krazylicous]

i beg to differ medic
cfls arnt all crap

 

[krazylicous]

but deffo we wouldnt think of buying any more, the next light we get will be an upgrade to led

 

[medic grower]

Indeed but i mean if he gets a 300w cfl for 50 bucks then he needs a reflector too which is mostly around 10-20 bucks then he also can go with a led for 70 which saves him bucks on energy costs... aint need replacement the next years and gives denser buds n more yield i would say in this case the cfl is thrown away money

Sorry for the confusion

im going to be using a big bud during flowering alongside the tomato feed

the cfl bulb and reflector is £50 DELIVERED so its not bad for the money

 

[krazylicous]

yeh i ditto what medic says you prob should not bother buying another 300 w cfl consider your other options brother

Lke i said, i'll be looking into led but im a family man, my kids come first, not my indoor garden

if i can only afford cfl, then thats what i'll use until im in a position to upgrade
