Week 6 Update/1 Week of 12/12
What a stressful weekend. On Saturday she was drooping like crazy, so I thought she was overwatered, but it got even worse on Sunday:
So I decided to water again and see what happened. She got all better! I think I have not been using enough water each time, causing the top of the soil to feel wet while the bottom was dry. Now I know better. Plus, she rewarded me for all that stress by growing a ton of pistils overnight. They're far too small for my phone camera but they are there. Here she is in all her glory after one week of 12/12:
(You can see a pistil in the first pic if you look hard enough)

Oh yeah, there are pistils shooting out everywhere now, I counted 11 potential bud sites. I'll put up some nice bud pics in a couple weeks probably when they get big enough to capture with my shitty phone camera.
Thanks for the encouragement man, I am feeling great about this plant.

It was about a week before I saw some pistils, and I guess it started getting taller fast a day or two ago.

Week 7 Update / 2 Weeks of 12/12
Some bud porn, earlier than I thought:

No real problems or anything to report I guess. I'm using Big Bloom every week and Tiger Bloom every other week. I was amazed at how fast she grew this week. Thinking of adding one more reflector soon. I hope I can get a half ounce!

Yeah, looking good. I think "when the soil goes dry" is not a good time to water for my plant for some reason, if I don't water before that it tends to really droop and look shitty. So I'm doing it every 3 days and might cut it down to 2. I also germinated a bag seed someone left at my house last weekend. We'll see what happens.

Week 8 Update / 4 Weeks of 12/12
Full Plant:
Biggest cola (mamma mia!):
I didn't have much hope for this little guy at the bottom but it's starting to look tasty:
Everything looks good. I water roughly every 4 days, feed every other watering. Looking to add a few more CFLs on the side when that paycheck clears.

She really looks good man I have a similar cfl grow going. Question did you flush her before you started flowering? I did but I'm wondering if its necessary although she did start flowering like crazy after I flushed.

No, I probably should have but I didn't. I'm definitely going to flush before harvest though.

Yup, it is their Northern Lights Special. I just bought one so I guess the germ and fem rate is 100%!
