First Indoor Grow - 100% CFL

[breakneck]

She's back! No more droopiness or anything. Also spotted some quick new growth, just a few hours after transplanting. She looks MUCH healthier now in her new pot. Check out the pictures.

Looking good! I am 100% sure that my earlier problem was just due to the small pot size. It's growing like normal again and looking much healthier. New pics.

Flowering starts in one week! Hell yes!

This is my first grow, ever. I have been cruising this site for about a month now and am pumped watching my new baby girl shoot up! I'll try to keep getting new pics up every couple of days, depending on the feedback I get.

The Setup:

10 cu. ft. Box
4 Brushless 120mm PC Fans running 24/7. 2 in 2 out. 2 1 Aux exhaust fan.
3500 Lumen high output CFL for now, gonna add another or two.
Digital weather station.
Digital calender timer for the lights, aux fan.

first off good luck on your grow. as soon as you can get a back up bulb & timer you will be glad you did when either 1 dies. just had both of mine die.

Thanks. I have a bunch of extra 45w's, but I do need another timer. Mine took a shit on me.

What is a good digital timer to buy? This Timex one blows.

wail at least two more weeks befor you flower.I made the same mistake and flowered when they were about 7 inches now my plants are flowering and very small. I dont think there will be much yeild but there will be some. just mu 2 cents worth do what you want the more veg the more bud

Very true. I don't want to get such a small yield that it's not even worth the time. I want at least close to an ounce dry if possible from this first plant...

 

[pntballking01]

I think an ounce dry might be pushing it a little, unless you switch over to HPS for flowering, and continue to veg for longer than another week.

I doubt it's possible to get an ounce dry from a plant grown under a few CFL's that was flowered @ around 8"-9". Good luck though, I'll check in regularly to see how it goes.

look man i don't know what r u doing i'm veging 4 monts before flowering
and get more than 500 gr. of plant
don't rush trust me

 

[breakneck]

Not too much change. Note in some of the pictures you can see where some nodes meet the main stem there are tiny little leaves forming. Is it early sexing or just normal growth?

 

[insanity566]

thats jsut normal growth. you want them to form very nice. they will act like smaller cola type stems.

Too good. That's what I like to hear.

don't wonna be at your place if this one dies look after him good-u won't sorry=] and one question-what soil do u use 4 that little deamon

Hollaaaaaaa

him? dont curse the boy lol

great looking plant, I had a hunch it was root bound, it looks much better now.

36 days is fine for flowering as long as the secondary growth(new growth between the nodes and the leafs) is AT LEAST as long as the fan leaves . the plant looks a lot like mine did on day 21 when I flowered my last grow, the secondary grow hadnt even started when I put her into flowering and I pulled off about 1/4oz dry - great smoke too. I decided to reveg her and cut clones from her and be a little more patient the next time I flower.

just keep those CFL's no CLOSER than 4"-6"; no FURTHER than 10" away

Try to get at least 250W (12,000-14,000 lumens) on her, the more light the faster the new growth will catch up with the fan leaves, and the bigger and more dense the buds (you said you had a few spare 45W CFL's right? put em to use!)

Look for alternating nodes on the new branch growth too, thats an easy way to judge when to throw her into flowering.

make sure you keep a fan on her 24/7

and remember its better to under-feed/under-water that it is to over-feed/over-water (but that doesnt look like a problem for you, just a friendly reminder)

 

[midgradeindasouth]

looking much better breakneck.
Keep the lights as close as possible without burning the plants 2-4".
I see fans so your ventilation should be ok for now.

I would veg for another 2 weeks atleast and flower for 8-10 weeks atleast if you want to get an oz off of one plant.

Hope she is female like you said.

Good Luck
Happy growing

 

[Tree??]

it was looking a little stretchy. i would put the light more horizontal above the plant, they work best like that i found out before i found this site haha

 

[breakneck]

Thanks for all the comments. It's appreciated!

I am very surprised it's doing this well considering my ridiculous grow room temps. The average now is about 93. I have doubts it will even survive to produce buds anymore really. We'll have to hope for the best. It does look damn healthy for a hot ass plant...IMO.

More pics!

PS.. Getting more fixtures for 3 more 45ws

 

[breakneck]

Also, the fan runs on Med. 24/7. It's a ten 'incher.

It's a ten 'incher.

We all say that...

 

[breakneck]

Still going strong. Not too much to update. Inter-node growth is shooting out! Also think I've spotted the first white pistols today, right at the fourth node. VERY TINY.
