My lovely girls

Hello All,
I have 2 flowering plants and 3 baby clones. All my babies are under several cfl lights. Plenty of light for my babies along with natural sun. I have a fan oscilating and blowing on the top of the plants. Humidity is kept between 30 and 50 depending on weather outside as it rains alot here. Temperatures are kept between 65 and 80 Fahrenheit. I have a clone of XJ13 i acquired from a dispensary that was rootbound when i got it but i took a few weeks to nurse it back to health since she wasnt eating for the first 2 weeks i got her. Now she eats like a champ. I put her into flowering 3 and a half weeks ago and her buds are producing nicely. I water her about every other day as she is in fox farm organic soil. I give her nutes about twice a week with the general organics go box. Since shes in flowering its just cal mag and 2 different budding nutrients now. I ph the nutes to about 6.5.
I also have a cherynobl plant that was grown from seed and vegged for about 2 months. She has been topped several times so shes a giant bush. She is in coco air. I water her every other day as well and will spray the top of the coco air right before lights out as coco air needs more water than soil. I giver her nutes about twice a week with the general organics go box as well. I ph nutes to about 6 for this girl. She has been in flowering for 5 weeks tomorrow. Shes producing nice buds but i have noticed that some of the pistils are already turning amber. Not sure if they are changing colors do to being touched by me or my cat. Not quite sure why they r changin so early.
I also have 3 baby clones. 1 critical sensi star. 1 LSD and 1 cannatonic clone. I got them all from a dispensary as well a couple weeks ago. I have them under a combination of cfls and LED lights during vegging. I water them once a week since they dont drink that much as they are small. I only give very small amounts of nutrients from the general organics grow box once a week. They are in fox farm organic soil so i ph the nutes to about 7. I have topped the sensi star and cannatonic and fimmed the LSD.
The first 2 pics are of the cherynobl plant.

Hello
Plants are looking ok
Chernobyl is one of my favourites for sure. Certain pheno's have the sweetest taste. Hopefully u get one u enjoy.
How many cfls u got over them?

Also if I could offer a tip.
Next time your at a grow shop or wherever u buy supplies look for square pots. They are available in many sizes but they don't waste space like the round ones so u can pack in closer to each other.
Just my two cents worth tho

Im not sure if they have the square smart pots. I love using the smart pots. Ill have to take a loom at the hydro store for square ones. I have 8 cfls on top of the 2 flowering plants and one cfl on each side so they have optimal light. And the cfls are 23 watt the replacement for 100watt. I got the natural daylight variety and they are just like natural sun. Super bright

Ya not sure if they have square smart pots either but I just found the squares made so much more sense.
As much medium as u can use is always a bonus plus they just look more efficient without the gaps and wasted corners between em all.
I've never tried flowering under only cfls but it looks like ur doin ok with it.
Good luck

You are definitely going to need more lighting if possible, with CFLs you can & should get as close as possible & use as many as possible. IMHO

Not quite sure what IMHO means. But thats what everyone say more light more light. Nothing else to say. Yet i have 8 light total per plant as well as natural sun due to my window being right next to the closet my plants are in. Theres not a single dark shady spot on my plants. I reposition light frequently and have them about 3 to 4 inches away from the leaves and buds.

IMHO means in my humble opinion.. & I can tell ya your are going to have airy buds man.. Not trying to be a jerk here tho. BUT ya need to get more light on those plants. Plz

If i have airy buds then i have airy buds and i cant get anymore light on them. Electricity is my dorky apartment cants handle it. I am already using a full 6 plug surge protector. Any more usage will blow the circuit breaker.

It looks like th Xj13 is going to produce higher quality buds. Its got much better genetics than the cherynobl plant and the xj buds are more compact and crystaly and smelly

Also I got a LSD in veg she's a baby, but she looks great so far. Good luck with your harvest

Shes a beauty grojoe90. I cant get my plants to stack like that. Maybe its just the fact im using cfls not hps. Im pretty sure my electrical cant handle hps lights.

Sorry. 400 watt HPS & t 5 for side lighting. Going 400 hps & always have gone hps the whole way.. Might save you some cash

Looking at hps they are wayy more exspensive then cfls. Im trying to find a inexspensive 400 watt hps to maybe add to my cfls, but i cant seem to find one for under $100

Check your local craigslist or kijiji
You can usually find one on there for 100 or under. Worst case scenario you will need a new bulb.
Or order a package from eBay

Just remember with the added light comes added heat that will b needing to b moved
