so hows that molasses working out for those trichs?
@BudmanTX @jonathan17
Ok so it didn't work as good as I wanted to like I seen on the videos and the reason being he just told me is because I don't have a powerful light set up that helps the plant absorb the sugar like it's supposed to and I was thinking that makes sense because I only have like 120 actual watts being used.
But look at old picture I posted and compare it really do work but it would have been better if I had a set up like y'all.
Here is the pic today two days later

Yeah it's not much but is it worth it maybe not only the consumer can let me know because it's supposed to make it have a sweeter taste but it might be a myth, who knows I will find out soon and I'll keep using molasses.
This is a pic of before molasses use.

its wayyy too early to tell. if the hairs are still standing up the plant isnt done. period.

you can still bump up ur light power and have ur buds grow dramatically. ur very premature.

if u went up to 600w tomorrow u would double ur yield i bet.

I promise I would I'm just low on funds, and I thank you for response it helps me get better with each grow I do.
Would you like to see whole plant and tell me your input on it for a 120 watt grow?

It's a bit early, but thats normal with alot of strains.

Alot of times, they really start to pack on trichs around week 4+.

It looks pretty healthy, i think if you keep the health this way you will have nothing to worry about just takes some patience that's all.

i was right this bitch stretched like a crack whore lmao, at least it's slowing down and im seeing flowers form.

I also ordered 8 bridgelux 29c's (g7), i will use these for vegging next year then run them together with an hlg 550 during flower. Since im not planning to run hid anymore, i may swap my bottles out for a propane burner and hopefully get away without swapping a/c units. Gas prices getting ridiculous on this island.

patience my friend, it will get there, with any cfl work, it takes time and that's what you need now. I've noticed with cfls the growing time is slower, like in some strain that say 8 to 9 weeks, i usually extend it to 11 to 12 weeks. Just give it love and attention and it will get there....

your getting there....

What you got going below that?
its a citronella plant i keep up with. very good for bugs and insect repelants, also if you have a misquito problem, put it out they won't even go around it, kinda the same stuff they use in "off", you can also rub the leaves on you it will repel them as well......wanted to make clones out of it later on....
