First CFL grow

Here is some pics of my very first lady at 37 days FS. The strain is Candy Kush from Auto seeds.
Im growing under only 2x 42w 2700k cfl but there is a 250w hps in the mail.

Here is new pic at 42 days. Buds are starting to take form and frost begin to apear.

I think I nute burn her on the last feeding so i'm going to slow down on nutes.

Nice work, keep it up!
how many plants do you have? Rule of thumb is 100w for the first plant and 50w for each additional.

I have two plant but I give almost all the lightning to the biggest one because I dont have enough lightning for both. I thought I would receive the 250w hps right when flowering start but its still in shipping
Some pics of the low lightning plant:

Looks good! Half of my LED went out so I put two of those giant CFL's on my plant and the mo' fo' completely (buds) blew up! I couldn't believe how fat the buds got so fast. I don't know if I just hit it at the exact right time or what but I started second guessing buying the BlackStar Chrome 270 as replacement for my other LED. I had already bought it by the time I noticed this explosion in growth but hadn't gotten it in the mail yet. I went ahead and set up the new LED but I'm thinking about doing some more experimenting with the giant 200 watt CFL's I have. I have one bloom and one grow CFL so I just stuck them both in there thinking the LED was superior and I needed as much light as possible. Now, I'm not so sure.

day 46

Looking Nice. I'm still new but it looks like your plants may be super hot and maybe next couple watering's no nutes at all and/or Make sure your not watering to often. Again i'm new so wait for someone more knowledgeable to give an opinion.

update of the candy kush at day 53

I think it as 2 week to go. What do you think of that?

Very nice grow!!! What smell do you get from your ladies?

her smell is not very strong but its lemony and a bit sweet.

I was planing to add pure homemade maple syrup to my watering for the last weeks. I know there is alot of nutrient in maple syrup so I would like to know what you think of that idea.

I was told to use unsulphered molasses. Not sure if maple syrup has the same properties...

Update at 60 days.

My 250w HPS light FINALY arrived! I hope to harvest in about one and a half week.

Right on with the right on.

I found out that you can use a drop of water to create a macro lens for smartphone... so here is my result with my samsung galaxy s3:

I just realised that the website is compressing the pictures when you upload them so I zoomed and cropped one to show you the level of magnification:

Fantastic.. I mean the plants are groovy.. but the drop of water on a phone camera lens (doesn't have to be I-phone).. Pricelss (yet mostly useless) information.. I tried it, I love it.. learn something new every day.. thanks.

Update of the kandy kush at day 65:
She is getting realy frosty under that new 250w hps.
