I would back off on nutes just a tab leaves look a little burned.This is my first grow. Experienced growers - please let me know if you see anything that just doesn't look right - 42nd day of flowering.

A LOT! Probably overkill. Here's a detailed breakdown: 4- 42watt 2700K, 6- 23watt 2700K, 6- 23watt 6500K (same ones used during 5 week veg). So actual watts used = 444!!! They are all fairly evenly distributed around her. I am only experimenting with one plant at this time (personal med) - just being a 'patient' grasshopper I guess.. Considering how dense and sticky the buds feel (especially the top bud), I am happy. I am just hoping I haven't over nuted her!Looking very nice for only 42 days flower and CFLs.
BTW, how many cfls do you have? Looks like a lot.
As long as it's not getting too hot in your grow space, then the more surface area that has direct light shining on it, the better. So defenitly not overkill.A LOT! Probably overkill.

when i used soil I gave nutes every 3 days so I could keep my PPM at max and still not burn em.I suspected that was nute burn on the tips of the leaves!! Kind of bugs me. I am using a 3.2 gallon air pot (http://www.airpotgarden.com/) and it requires daily watering. So I have been using nutes on every other watering, or every other day (FF Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom as well as 1/2 tbsp unsulphured molasses). Maybe I should use nutes on every third day of watering. Otherwise, I am happy with the results. Thank You for the feedback!!
Dang I would just go with like a 600 watt instead of all that. 4x42 watt = 168, 6x23 watt = 138 watt another 6x23 watt = 138 watt of course I do this before i see you did the math already lol. Man with the lumens from a 600 watt instead of all that I think you would do better depending on how many total plants you got in there. But for the extra 10$ a month I would get a dual ballast and rock it.. But if you cant get that because they do cost a few hundred I think and its going good then hey, very nice and I hope it comes out real good for you.. just make sure to post some pics when done please... Thanks. and some rep for the grow for ya Rep +A LOT! Probably overkill. Here's a detailed breakdown: 4- 42watt 2700K, 6- 23watt 2700K, 6- 23watt 6500K (same ones used during 5 week veg).

If you think you're starting to get nute burn then I'd give it straight water for a few waterings. Maybe even flush the soil a bit.
Thanks for the rep dude! I only have the one lady in there - I am sure she is thoroughly enjoying all the rays the CFls provide. I should point out - there is a definite candy-sweet piney aroma emanating from the grow space.Dang I would just go with like a 600 watt instead of all that. 4x42 watt = 168, 6x23 watt = 138 watt another 6x23 watt = 138 watt of course I do this before i see you did the math already lol.

The plant definitely digs the CFLs. I keep the lights pretty darn close to her, and fairly well distributed around her. Check out the pics. I'm going DWC and CFLs on next grow.Looks good for CFL's man. My 600W HPS and MH are collecting dust in the garage while I attempt my first CFL + Aeroponic grow. It sucks not being able to use my HID setup but seeing your results makes me feel better.
