Some harvest pictures, and a shot of #7. Where the bud is missing is where the budrot was. About half of what is missing was discarded. The rest is drying on a little net hammock I made. Sry bout the sideways. Then there's 3, 4. A bud from 3. And 6, 3 and 4 in jars

Every time I tune in man, you seem to impress me (no homo)!!! The bud looks mighty taste. Not to rag on you though but how long did you dry for? The stem that you are holding in the picture looks pretty crispy. It looks as if it my be too dry going into the curing process. Don't know it may be just me, the picture color, or this punk ass phone I'm on right now, but you would think that you would want it somewhat moist yet dry IMO. Other than that bro, all look nice. I'm about 4 days behing you (cut her down Thursday), wish I had pics. Me and my baby mama got into it and she flushed my shit (had a couple pics of gurls with there tits out in there when she went through it). I'm gonna do some freaky shit wit a small curing jar with a small quantity of bud. (Bazooka buble gum in the curing jar for a week, to gain some bubblegum flavor). I'll hit you with a PM to tell you how that goes.

Yeah a little crispy on the outside. I dried for a week but in 40%H cool temps and a breeze. So they dried quick. But thery're not completely dry. They are a little crispy lol. Very very sticky. :)7 's buds a LARGE and dense. I wanna try to dry them a little slower, but we'll see.

itsgrowinglikeaweed,
I just got done reading your thread.....amazing. You really proved to all the nay sayers that you can get some good bud with fluorescents. I am very excited about your grow as it can mean good things for the rest of us doing fluorescent grows.
Congrats man, you earned it.

Thanks GTG. Yup CFL"s can get the job done. Not real efficient, but effective for sure. :mrgreen:

Thanks Remix. I learned a lot too. And if it helps out others thats even better.
I'm going to get an HPS for the nest grow. I should be able to handle the heat from it in the wintertime. And I'll save the CFL's for summertime. I'm interested to see how much better I can do with an HPS.

Well...9 & 10 just got chopped. I got a little more than 3 oz. from the 1st 3 plants. The 3 hanging now are all a little bigger than those (minus the budrot on 7). In another week or so I'll try to do a recap with the who, what, where, and how much type of info.

Day 50, day 10 of 12/12-
Oh boy they are looking good!! #4 has finally showed its sex. Its a girl!!:hump: But it does NOT look good for #8 The preflowers on 8...idk, but no hairs :( I can't get a good close-up of it (my gf is the master at that) But it looks like the preflowers are going to turn into branches?? NOt hairs or balls? Weird??
#1 definately has hairs and in multiple locations BUT something weird about it too. It, like #8 has preflowers that seem big enough to have spit out a hair or two, but they havn't?? Maybe these are hermies?? IDK I'm watching these two very closely...1 & 8 are awesome little bushes man what a bummer....
So... for those keeping score- 2 & 5 male (chopped); 3,4,6,7,9 &10 are female :) and 1 & 8 are weird but 1 has hairs....stay tuned.
Check it out!! Pics enlarge for detail in the gallery.

Here's the new set-up. Can you tell I took the pics because my gf has been doing a better job of it lol.

oops those two are the same. And oh yeah I will be adding bigger and/or more lights. I'm waiting to see exactly how many keepers I have before deciding the final setup.
Comments or Ideas?? :mrgreen: :peace:

I just noticed the potato chip bag being used for relflective material in the pic above, lol. Ima start saving mine and do my whole closet lol.

Great grow btw, I would of been happy with half that yeild. Seems like the yeild could have been much bigger? Maybe the specific strain your growing or maybe try some hps for flowering next time? Ima noob ignore me :)

gw man havent checked in since the beginning. the cfls turned out nice, u thinkin about upgrading to a couple mh/hps set ups? sell the cfls to ur boys u got interested in it and invest that in some real lights. i switched from cfl to MH and it is all the difference in the world. GJ and GL.

many time people make mistakes in their grow room and accidently make fem. seeds this may be your case and then the bud will be good and all ur plants fem.

some times just letting sum light in during the night cycle will force fem. pollen. it doesn't mean the plant is a hermie
