Keep the lights on them and what's your wattage output? KEEP SMOKE ALIVE!!

how do i figure out my wattage output?
sorry im new to this
also there only 2 weeks in to flowering should i switch them back to a 18/6 or 24/0 so they can veg and get bigger?
or will that harm the plant?

it will not hurt the plant but i will slow down for a bit, get some more cfl's.

alright thanks and how should i come upon switching it back to veg?
shoul i gradually switch it back to 18/6 or 24/0?

Go ahead and switch them to 18/6 now...

and get more cfls! Go to wall mart and get some "daylight" cfl's in the highest watt rating available. You want at LEAST 4 cfl's on each plant. I would put 6 on each.

You should get rid of the floro tube, it's not helping any... and do you know what kind of cfls are on the plant right now? what are there wattage rating? are they "daylight" or "warmlight" cfl's?

By the way... you will need to also pick up a few "warmlight" cfls for flowering.. but you can do that later when you are ready for flowering.

Here is a link to my cfl grow for ideas....

so i have
1 20w
1 15w
4 14w equivalent to 60w (if that means anything idk if it does)

Yes you can use the floro tube for your clones, though it would be best to put 1 cfl for each clone... you will have to go to wall mart and get 26w daylight cfl's for your clones as soon as you can... (IT'S A MUST!)


Since you already have some soft white cfls then I guess you can stick with flowering them, Put the lights as close to the plant as you can. Like an 1/2 inch away... heck, with 14w cfl's, you can have your plants touching the lights...

Any way, you will still need more lights... 14w cfls are too weak.... they will keep her going for now. Get the 23w softwhites, I think they are like $8 for a pack of 4.... the 26w daylight cfl's are like $7 for a 2 pack.

alright thanks for all the help and i have started a shopping list

and i moved the lights closer to the plants

ok so a brief update

since i added more light theres alot more growth on them
lots of female pistils

there at about 11inch how much bigger will they grow?
there on day 22 of flowering

again there under
4 14w
1 20w
1 15w
cfls

ok so its day 27 in flowering and there lookin beautiful i will get pics up tomorrow

be fore they started flowering there were at about 7 inchs now there almost 12inchs

how much bigger u think they will get?

this grow was a failure i only got an 1/8th ha

Hehe. Will you at least get a nice whiff?
