10 gallon Dwc; Nirvana White Rhino and Snow White, 20 26w cfls

Sorry for the sucky pics, I couldn't get the lights out of the way, and it's hard to resize the pictures I post for some reason, as I'm posting from a G1...





The two on the left are the White Rhino, Snow White on the right, all feminized. Vegged for four weeks, now they're three days into flowering, I was just wondering if the fact that my Rhino in the front has 11 bladed fan leaves is indicative of anything negative,as I can't seem to get a definitive answer anywhere else regarding this.

Also, even though I did kind of LST them for a week, they look a little too small to me.. does this seem like a decent rate of growth, based off the amount of lights I'm using and how I've described my setup so far? I can give more details later, this was REALLY awkward to type with Swype...

... anyway, this is my first grow, so any constructive comments are welcomed/encouraged....

Crazy looking grow man... Your plants look kinda bushy, but super healthy. How are those nutes, thought of using them for a hydro-flower nute... I have those same bulbs, used them for side lighting. I use these 125 cfls now without any sidelighting.

I would really like more info on this setup, it looks amazing!

How did you mount those cfls?

if you do the snow white properly it will be the dopest dope you ever smoke.

All my cfls are connected to these y-socket splitter things, which were then screwed into three vanity strip fixtures. Each of these are adjustable, as they are attached to the ceiling by a simple rope/pulley system.
Coincidentally, during veg, I also used two of the fixtures, turned to hang vertically, as side lighting, which is probably how the plants got so bushy.


As far as nutes, I'm running Lucas formula at 1060 ppm , and foliar misting with Snow Storm Ultra weekly.Everything seems to be good nutritionally, I'm just confused as to whether or not this 11 blade fan leaf thing means anything at all...

Like I said,I can go into more detail about how I made my setup if anyone likes the results I seem to be getting, I just can't type fast on this phone, so it's easier to answer specific questions you guys may have as they come...

... and can ANYONE tell me about the 11 blade fan leaf thing?

Dont know whats up with the 11 blade leaves dude... here is a link on here that might have more info... people seem to think its either genetics or some sort of light issue.

Indica plants typically max out at 5 leaflets per fan leaf. As flowering cycle progresses, the number count decreases. Sativa plants can have more than 13 blades per fan leaf. It all depends on how long the sativa is allowed to veg.

... yeah, I've heard that, but the thing is, the only one of my plants that has eleven leaves is the White Rhino in the front, and White Rhino is an Indica dominant strain, so I don't think that's what determines it, especially since I only vegged for four weeks... whatever...

Day 5 of flower... still not showing sex... (they're fem seeds though, so I'm feeling lucky...) :

you're white rhino is dominantly indica, but given the right conditions, it can express the sativa phenotype. Usually those phenotypes are the more treasured and highly regarded. You are lucky to have a white rhino with that expression.

Sorry for the long wait, I didn't want to post any pics until the buds where big enough to photograph with this shitty cam.



White Rhino:





Snow White:






4th week of flowering. I had to chop one of the Snow Whites, turned out to be male... it was a runt, and never got much light anyway, so whatever... I figure I could finish in 3-4 weeks, what do you guys think?

man you want to thin the inner shit that is not getting light tward the end.Some say no but i would. the inner buds will be a waste of time or good butter?

Hey I got a white rhino plant that has 11 blade leaves on it as well
