Hey whats up everyone. I hope y'all had a good weekend. I am on my first grow and am doing a chemdog plant. I am looking to flower asap. I currently have it in a 4 gallon pot in FFOF and I used the FF NUTE KIT. I have it under 8 100w (23w output) CFL bulbs. I've been reading that for the flower stage under CFL's you should lower the KELVIN'S. What watt of bulb and KELVIN'S should I get for the flower stage under CFL's??? THABKS FOR THE HELP IN ADVANCE

Same wattage, look for anything lower than about 4,000K. 2,700K should be easy to find and it's great for flowering. :)

Those look good.
This one would replace all 8 of your cfls.
You have 8 running 23w ea and this one draws 200 watts.

I really enjoy seeing grow light reflectors now for cfls with larger bulbs. If I hadn't dedicated on hps/mh. A few cfls with reflectors would make for a good alternative.

Thanks dude. Yea I only used 8 because I wanted to place bulbs so that every part of the plant is receiving light. I think I'm gonna get a couple of these

Have you considered trimming a few of those bottom leaves off? Your plant is only wasting energy on them and since your using cfl's you will need as much light to the colas as possible

I really wanted to trim it but I would like to see it done in person. I've read stuff and watched videos dude but I just need to see it first hand

It's actually really easy, anyone can do it and you can't hurt the plant if you follow a few little guidelines.. Never take more than 1/3 away at one time. Only take shade leaves that are blocking light / air flow from reaching colas and keep it keep it simple :) trust me dude you will notice a big difference after your plant starts using its energy where it is needed ✌
