They will swell much more using molasses in the last few weeks. Remember a week or two before crop is ready the calyxes will swell up, this will make your colas fat and with molasses they will swell more then normal.

7/11/09 - Couple new pics guys. The main cola has definitely grown I'd say. It's much fatter than what it was a week or two ago. This is the third time I believe that I watered with molasses. I'm dry right now so I'm getting real eager to harvest the plant lol. Doesn't look like it'll be done for another week or two tho..

Try gettting the the 68(2700k4200 lumens) watt cfl 15$ at the home depot and a 42watt cfl your plant will be much shorter and your yield greater I have a similar setup but I have a cabinet and reflective material so the lumens from both cfls are used up efficienty.. she is only 19"in height and the main cola is huge for a cfl grow its about 7"long 2"wide not bad for a stealth cabinet grow with limited lighting, she is almost ready for harvest but I have not used mollases at all where could somone purchase some?

Figured I'd show you guys the new setup. Found some poster size paper n some other stuff that I used to surround the plant. Hopefully it'll help reflect some light back to the plant.

I love checking these updates Dr.RR. You have one of the weirdest looking plants I've ever seen.
Looks really good though. It's just so stretched at the bottom and so bushy up top, it's such a contradictory looking thing.

That bud is really starting to grow now eh? You can expect pretty dramatic swelling in the last few weeks. My plants are at the same stage, and are finally starting to put on a little wait too. The bud with the orange hair is only a week away from it's 7 week target. The other two plants are clearly younger and about 2-3 weeks away from harvest. These are all Shiva plants.

so far, lurking has answered a lot of questions, and FAQ's helped with some q's I hadn't gotten around to answering. And given the idea that most growers differ in preference as far as the answer to my question is concerned, but i'll ask anyway because i have no idea. ::What is a ballpark period of time to keep my girls in veg before i switch over to bloom?::

Nice plant for a small CFL grow!! That big 65 watter will make a huge difference. I got 9 85 watters going right now.
