Hi again to all my fellow :420: Family. Its time for another go at the 100% cfl grow!

This time with a 10' x 12' room!!!!
planning on 1 to 1.5 months veg on these girls.
we got 3 x 4bulb t8 reflectors going and will be using about 28 x 23w 2700k cfls
NOTE- i do not use big brand expensive lights actually the cheapest i could find
2$ USD per Tube and 3.75$ USD per CFL

Strains are White Ice ,Purple Kush and a unknown Indica x Ruderalis hybrid

Im in, nice setup bro :ganjamon:
 
Thanks all!
Btw i forgot to mention,
24/0 Light hours
Room temps 74-80
Humidity 60-76

Nutrients
Evergrow 3 part solution
1. All purpose 20-20-20
2. Micro grow
3. Super bloom booster

Currently using the 20-20-20 at 1/4 strength for watering every three days and foliar once per week.
 
What do yall think about the flowering reflectors?

4 of them will cover a 5' by 4.5' area at 20" from the floor and 6' by 5' area at 4' high

28 x 23 w 2700k cfls @ rated at 1300 lumens

644 watts.
Averaging about 28,000 to 33,000 lumens total


Ive never actually flowered indoors as my last grow i only veg inside then i had to plant them outside as i had to leave the area for a long time.


Kinda on my mind every day how the results will be

Jamaica, I'm just learning myself. Right now I have a small almost 6 ft square grow tent that I bought a Hydrofarm T-5 HO 4 bulb fixture for. I am learning now that I will need to add some CFL's on the side even for one plant!

Yea , u would need 3 of those reflectors to operate in that amount of space .standard 4' t5ho x 4 bulb is used for an area of about 2' by 4'
