When stealth is a growers biggest concern, fluorescent grow lights are the undisputed king.

Question:  How do I get 2-4 CFL bulbs per plant, then put all those bulbs on a single timer?

I want to start my first grow was with five plants and between 2-4 CFL bulbs per plant. I know each plant will need 2-4+ CFL bulbs by the time I reach the flowering stage, since marijuana plants need a lot of intense light during flowering to produce big yields. 

Question: I'm growing weed with CFLs and my plants are growing sooooo slow... What do I do?

I'm having a major problem. I'm useing 3 CFLs (6500k, bright white colored) and as you can see, they're barely growing. (sorry for the low-quality cell phone pic, they're actually green in real life...)

Question: Why is my whole plant wilting, curling, with tips turning black and leaves turning yellow? Just flipped to flowering stage. Plant is drinking less than normal.

Question: Why are my hydroponic marijuana seedlings getting tall and dying?

To all you growers on a budget: It's possible!
