Just added four more 26 watt cfs to bring the total wattage to 409. I think that this will be all the lights that I add, at least until I am ready to flower in a few weeks.

This thread is dying, so what better way to perk it up then show you guys how my babies are coming :hump: Plant A and B are like 28 days old, and C is like 21 days old. Plant A got ripped outa the soil but is growing good again. I topped plant B and its growing good as well, and Plant C is always droopy, not so much anymore but it never seems to perk up as much as the others.

Plant A





Plant B




Plant C (1 week younger than a and b)

hell no no nutes your plants are growin good for light you got. Also in 2 more weeks!when u add nutes make sure to check numbers on front of bottle,those three numbers mean everything ya need to know NPK usally looks like....10-15-10. do a lil search and find numbers tou want dor vegatative(growth phase) and like homie said 1/4 amount to start. NPK if you no what they stand for your on your way to control your plants whole enviro then you need a nute reader! one improvement to garden always ends up needin another!!! good luck and get some fans a lil clip one at wally mart and point at plants to strengthin stems

would it be possible with only growing my one plant, under 400 watts of cfls to expect between 1 and 2 ounces. Since I have so many lights I will be working to completely surround the plant letting all parts of it get light. I also have enough cfls to boost it up to around 500 watts once I start seeing buds growing.

HELP!! My ladies lower leaves/fan leaves are turning yellow. This has been happening over the last week. I think its a nitrogen defficency but not sure, any ideas?

Ok since I believe it is a nute problem I have flushed my girl with 3 times the amount of water her container can hold. Then im gonna let her sit for an hour before I add a 1/4 solution of nutes to her. Hopefully this will address the yellowing issue.

Im gonna hold off on showing pics for a few days to see if what I did helped her. She has slowed down since the yellowing but still looks great. So far 4/5 tops she has are growing hairs and I have been lsting her like crazy so she is only about 4 or 5 inches tall.

Hows she doin? Was looking real good till the yellowing came in. probably a nute deficiency or a ph prob causing a nute problem. IDK tell us how the flushing werked. Sometimes your plant wont respond to what you do for days, other times they can respond in hours lol. Good luck....

so far she seems to be doing well, the yellowing of the lower leaves seems to have stopped. Im thinking that plant growth may be delayed a few days because of the shock of transplant as well as the large flush.

Although there doesnt seem to be to much growth she is pumping out tons of white hairs, currently up to 5 out of 6 heads have white hairs poking out. In a day or two Ill throw an update with some close up pics of the buds.

Small update, my girl is looking great . At about 40 days flowering now and her buds are really starting to fill out. Im alternating fox farms nutes and mollasses now. These are some pics of her top colas, she was topped and they both are starting to look like real beasts.

thanks for checking em out :hump: was origionally planning on a 7-8 week flower, but judging by there look i may let them go longer. this is the only plant out of my first three that were female, so i wanna let it go until i get the best/most bud out of her.

10x26 watt
2 32 watt
1 40 watt
1 45 watt
409 total watts of cfls

the cfls are pretty much all within 2-3 inches of her which is real nice. tomorrow ill post some pics of the set up when the lights are on, i lstd her a bit and she is relatively short which makes it easier to surround with lights. with all this light on one plant i hope to get an ounce, because that will at least have been worth the long wait for 1 plant.
