Thanks fer all the words of encouragement, it really does help, as ya all know!
I honestly, have no idea as to what the yield might be!
Don't mean to let anyone down by goin to flower w/HPS next time, but I am fairly certain that I will be happy w/the yield difference. I am happy w/the way this grow has gone, and I doubt there was much that I coulda done to do any better, using what I used!
As far as how much time, well anywhere from a week to 10 days til I chop, maybe longer. I'm actually hoping fer longer, 'cause I somehow lost track of a week and didnt start my flush soon enough on a lot of the girls!:dunce:

My flush consists of the followin: First flush watering is w/Clearex. I only flush w/a gallon per 3 gallon pot. I know everyone says to go 4x's the pot size, but I never have. The rest of waterings until harvest, I just water w/clear water.

Way to go WITHAMI!!! I haven't checked your thread in awhile. So, question--how many weeks of flowering are you into in this picture?
As you know, I'm new to the CFL thing. I'm just wondering if they don't call for a little bit longer under cfls?

That pic is on day 53 of flower! From what I have read and seen, the strain determines the flowering time, even when ya use CFL's.
TY fer the words of encouragement! :hug:

not bad considering the size of the plants when u put em into flowering. Got a question though.
Did you throw any 6500k bulbs into the mix for some full spectrum action?
Or just all 2700k for flowering?
I got a monster hindu kush in my closet flowerin with only 2700k and am starting to think I shouldve put one or two cool whites in there for good measure.

Nah, I only used 2700K. However, if ya wanna add some, dont add 6500K, instead find 'em as close to 5000K as possible, or stick w/more 2700K. Just make sure yer gettin light from UNDER the canopy, as well!

I got 4 of the 42s and 4 of the 23s up top and 3 23s on the side. I didnt complete my flowering chamber in my closet early enough to get my plants in there while they were still an acceptable height lol. I put 3 plants in. A 2' Ice, 2' Snow white, and 3' kush. Its been nothing but a battle over these weeks of colas running into the ceiling... running into lights... bending and tying branches every which way lol. Leaves getting scorched. Heat issues way up near the ceiling where the bulbs are. I'm lookin at maybe a quarter pound though so its been well worth it. I got maybe 2 weeks to go

If yer a CFL grower and DONT have burnt leaf tips, ya aint doin it right! It's the unfortunate side effect of gettin that light close enuf! But a few burnt fan leaves late in flowering is a worthy sacrifice fer the bigger yield!
