Hey Rollers! I'm about to send my babies into flowering but don't really know much on how to keep em healthy? Any tips/suggestions will be helpful! I will be transplanting into some FFOF with x2 68W cfls which produce about 4200 lumens each.

They'll need more light than that or you're only looking at an Oz harvest at best (assuming topping, LST, hydro, etc.)

If it is within the realm of possibility get yourself an HPS or High-Watt LED as soon as you can. Sunburst 150W come with a ballast installed and are plug and play.

Ocean Forest should be enough for them, keep an eye out for calcium def.

A 67w cfl (with reflector) works fine for one plant in flower they work even better for plants in veg, i wouldn't veg any bigger then 3 gal pot though. What nutrients do you have?

Unfortunately I'm on a tight budget and won't be able to afford those before harvest/:

i haven't topped or done any LST, but the bud sits are pretty bushy. An oz would be perfect considering this is my first grow/experiment

How strong would those have to be?
As strong as you can get.

Maybe but a t5 fixture. Personally I just wouldn't even waste my time with a few cfls, not meaning to be downer. At least you'll learn a bit on the way, so that's good! :)

4 week veg, 7 gallon pot. You can definetly veg with it. If you've got two bulbs then i would flower your plants now!

If they've come this far without nutes why bother spending money on them? FFOF mix will feed them for awhile & you can just add more in a bigger pot when needed. Invest in lighting instead of nutrients; wattage governs yield.

Holy shit,She's looking beautiful! That is my light as well. Are you only using one?
Yes thats only one bulb. She was transplanted hours before that photo so she's a bit droopy.
That single plant in the pic, would need atleast 2 67w cfl's in a tight cab to even make it worth it. You wont really have dense flowers or high quantity though but it will work.
