3 wk flowering BB cheese under 400w hps

So here are my 5 babies all 5 germed and all 5 are ladies, they were big buddah cheese seeds

i vegd for 25 days under 250w cfl

they are at 21 days flowering under a 400w hps and a 125 cfl as side lighting so total light during flowering = 525w

I am feeding them Bio bizz bloom organic nute and gaven full stenght every watering apart from last as i felt a bit of nute burn coming along, a plain watering have perked them back up and they leaves have gone back to green rather than a slight yellow.

So how does everyone think there goin after 3 wk flowering, quite a few budsites.

any comments or critisism welcome

Damn fine plants! Keep up the good work!

thanks man, i cant wait untill there done cheese is my fav strain, this xmas is gonna be damn good!

They look like they should...were those big buhda seeds?

You mentioned that a 400 watt hps + 125 watt cfl = 525 watts, that's not really true as you do not have 525 watts of penetrating power....and now that your plants are all bushy and budding, the cfl is not really going to add to your bottom line and is probably just in the way. (maybe try putting it on the underside, help those lower branches)

youre doing a fucking great job with ur light im gonna watch this till harvest as im doing the same thing but ur ahead of me abit lol
also do u come from the uk?

Yeh i agree with you on this one, my previous 2 grows were solely flowered using cfl's and i know they are capable but its all to do with light penetration as you say.

currently the cfl is hanging too high, however i do rotate the cfl ever 2nd day to a different position, not the best method but hey my main light is the hps the cfl is just there for a lil bit extra if anything at all.

thanks man indeed i do, are you growing the same strain?


and yeh they are big buddah seeds

uk buddha its evry where.

not where i live it isn't

here they are at day 24 of flower, budding very nicely indeed, getting fatter by the day, i think these particular bb cheese seeds have turned out to be more on the short indica bushy type, what does everyone else think?
