hello all I am growing what I think is a indica hybrid from some bag seed and she is currently week four along in the 12/12 cycle. During veg. I gave her alfalfa meal, earth juice catalyst, & molasses. When I switched her over I gave her molasses once, and every other watering I give her tiger bloom & beastie Bloomz by fox farm. Soon I will replace Bestie Bloomz for Cha Ching. I recently gave her Sunleaves Jamacian bat guano. I have her under one CFL 2700k bulb that was given to me. Here is a pic
Week four of the 12/12 cycle

How do the nugs look? Are the forming normally

For the lighting you have, yes.
When will the nugs begin to dense up & look like the bud you smoke?
It's 68w I believe I am currently trying to get another one but it probaly won't be until around week six of 12/12

Still, not bad for 68w. Is this your first time growing?
And I can't tell from your pic, but how far is your CFL from your plant? I would try to bring it in a little closer, I know you're trying to spread out the light though, but I think a little closer could help the top bud sites at least.
Yes it's my first time but soon I'm going to purchase 400w MH & 400w HPS light with cool hood & digital ballast. It's about 6 inches away from the plant

Depending on how long the flowering is for the strain, the last few weeks they pack on weight. As for density, you'll be airy on this one. With the 400's your future grows should get denser.
Even though they'll be airy will they have any density to them & even if they're airy of I cure them & dry them properly should the quality of the high be the same or no

They will be loose airy buds but the quality is strain and grower dependant...two 68 watt CFL's with topping and training should pull around a half oz of good smoke...the 400 hps will make a noticeable increase in yield and bud density .
If I get another cfl light bulb for now will it make the buds more dense

Yes a little bit more but if you're looking for rock hard nugs..hid's all the way .

You can pickup the 45w CFL 2700k (1620 lumens) at homedepot for around $9 all day and they are always in stock. These work great if you can pick up the bulb splitter in the accessory isle. If you get 3 of those you can make a 4 bulb adapter for around $40, and would get over 5k lunens for one plant. You might get some panda film or even emergency blanket to help get light to lower growth. Girl looks damn healthy for only livinng under one CFL this whole time.
I've been feeding her good nutes. The only issue I have is the lighting

Watt for Watt for lumens what I found was to get the best lumens in CFL per watt, try this one for a little over 3500 lumens.. http://www.amazon.com/Watt-CFL-Light-Bulb-Fluorescent/dp/B003ZI2QTW a couple of these with the splitter that barbell420 mentions and you could get by with the cfl until you get the hid...but they look good so far and remember any smokeable bud is good bud... enjoy the grow...
