Cabinet CFL Grow - Unknown Strain -

yeah im not going to trim her. im expecting to flower in a few weeks

ok so she's 8 inches tall right now.. shes got a good amount of leaves. no fan leaves cause i cut them all off. how much yield should i expect when i flower?

throw a couple more lights in there and you should hit a zip+. Just saw a single plant CFL grow and they guy got ~2.5 off one plant. Not sure how long he vegged though. Grow is looking great btw. Really healthy.

thank you man. whats a zip+? lol

yea man. get some more 2700k cfls in there and flower her. i say some 23-26 watt ones. get as many as u can in there with her. more light more bud y splitters help alot to

its funny you say that jetta. i just made my set up for flowering. what ima do is get 6 42 w cfls 2700k. pics are up ina few.

Ok so there's been a few changes:

1. she is now 8 inches tall; she was 6 inches tall when i first cut her.

2. shes growing up alota nodes with alota bud sites.

3. i set up my light set up for flowering so once i get the lights all i gotta do its screw em in.

4. she's getting pretty clustered again so ima make sure the lights are mad close dur'n flowering.

5. NEW PICTURES. ENJOY.

she looks nice. be carful not to over water her though. i did that a few times in my days. yes flower power her! 6 42 watters u say? hmmm sounds like alota bud to me dont forget to cheack ph if u can

The company TCP makes a CFL that is 2700k 68watts and can be found at most DIY stores, Home Depot carries them for 14.95. I'm having great results w/ them. Just a thought for when ya go to flower her.

realy zoo bar? tell me more

Indeed I am running 5x 2700K 68watt CFL along w/ 2 42w CFLs. Here are some pics of when I was 5 weeks into flowering. I'm coming up on the 7th now.

the plant looks nice but the 68W are mad expensive. im getting 6 42w and one 26w for $60 with shipping and handling. the link is on page 5 of this thread i think. theyre like $5 a bulb.

Yah I suppose I bought from H.D on sale for 9.95 I think they sell for 14.95 reg.

yeah thats good. but your plants look mad good for CFLS. how close are your cfls to the bud sites? and how many cfl's you using?

Aye wud up nuggah. Nice grow, a word of advice the more fan leaves u cut tha more tha growth would be stunted, when u cut leaves off tha plant, it focuses its energy to restore the leaves its lost rather than grow vertical. And never cut fan leaves when ur flowerin ive mad that mistake one too many times. But other than that your shit looks good.

the plant wasnt growing any taller when i chopped the fan leaves and the fan leaves werent allowing light at the stalk but yeah im not cutting any more until im harvesting. thanks man.

yeah so today's Miss Pretty Lady's 60th day =) ill hopefully have new pictures of tonight. while you wait.. you know what to do..

I'm using 1x 200 watt 65ook CFL for vegg which i'm still running thu flowering. I added 6x 68watt 2700K CFLs and 2x 42watt 2700K. I keep the the buds about 4inches from lights, I have a somewhat small CAB so I have to tie them down a bit and continuesly check them for light burn, which as you can in some of the pics above I failed a couple times but really no major damage. I chose to go w/ the CFL grow strictly for heat reasons. Overall I say its going well. I clipped a few branches last night and have them drying as I type.

I would look at purchasing a higher wattage Veg light, 100w - 200w. I have yet to see a CFL in a DIY store that is over 23 actual watts. Then focus on your flowering lights, nothing less the 42watts for the 2700K and The more the better.

I would also stay away from MG soil, I started w/ it and had horrible results. I went out and found some pro-mix and transplanted and my ladies seemed to flourish. I would try to find some nute/fert free soil and add them yourself when its time.
