...sure you can. Keep those cfl's 2-3 inches away from the plants and your on your way! ...you might want to follow up the fertilizing with Fox Farm's Trio, get some rapid release dolomite lime, and use tap water, dechlorinized, pH'd around 6.5

...the big bloom is.

(edit) Here's a copy and paste of my organic tea if your die hard organic.

What you'll need:
Seabird guano, bat guano, earth worm castings, kelp meal (or liquid seaweed), molessas, a bubble stone and bubble pump, a paint strainer. 5 gallon bucket.
What to do:
Get a couple of gallons of water from tap....let set on bubbles over night to dechlorinize it, then pH balance the water to 6.5....take a couple tablespoons of each (worm castings, seabird, bat, kelp, molessas) and put inside paint strainer and tie shut...hang the mix over the bubble stone to make movement/activity in the water....let set for 24-48 hours....put 2 cups of this per gallon to new dechlorinized pH balanced water, then water in once weekly.

...you'll want to back up off of the earthworm castings and the seabird guano in mid flower to eliminate nitrogen avalibility.
...the molessas and liquid seaweed are liquid , however, still use table spoon measurements.
...stop giving tea @ weeks 5 for an 8 week strain, or allow a couple weeks to flush (not so important organically but, I prefer to save the $)

once your little plant gets slightly larger, youll need several more of those cfls. since youre using ffof, you shouldnt need to add any extra nutrients for at least a few weeks. with the setup in the pictures, your limiting factor will be lighting. if you can get 6-7 of those cfls you should be good through veg, but once you flip to flower youll need a LOT more and with the 2700k spectrum. you will be able to grow in your space without a doubt, cfls just get a little tedious because of how many are needed.

Here are some new pictures and I will add more lighting when I do the pot transfer to a 3 gallon pot. Than its on and crackin.Isn't there a mix that can be used that is ready made or I have to do it myself.I would just as well just let the plant go with out anything other than water and molasses.Till I flower than use ff big bloom.

Peace out,

Is there any feedback on my idea of water molasses and ffof soil till I flower than either Big BloomFF or Tiger Bloom xtra strength.please let me know if this is ok she is growing at a remarkable rate.

peace out,

i am growing Organic with molasses and bio boost vega which is a molasses based nute. I also use tap water and grow outdoor, you should be fine with just molaases and water. It has to be blackstrap unsulphered molasses which is at wholefoods and central market. Its 1 tblsp to every gallon and you can use up till harvest, i feed mine twice a week. Good luck

I had a feeling that it wasn't oh mwell I think I'll take Boom Whomp's advise for now and just go with the molasses feedings and good old tap water that has set for a few days.Thanx for everything Madodah.Peace out bro and REPS++.

Good plan. Chemicals like Tiger Bloom will destroy the microbes in your grow medium.

If you have an AACT brewer with a decent sized air pump you can run your tap water through it for an hour to evaporate the chlorine.

Most welcome fellow farmer.

Hello everyone here is my girl after two weeks, on day 9 in middle of night my fan went out and she fried pretty good before I was able to find out next morning I immediately changed to a bigger fan and she is doing much better.Now its two weeks and I have only fed her very diluted (tsp per gallon water) mixture of unsulfered molasses every other watering,She drinks around a pint of water a day.

Peace out,

I 'm a believer of the FFOF just needed to add a little perlite,but she's looking awesome after only 18days since she broke ground,I now have a total of 146W of cfl's 75% 6500K & 25% 3500K mostly blue. Like I said before so far I'm only using treated water with and without molasses every other watering and the concetration of molasses in the water is 1 tsp. per gallon,I'll raise this ratio back to Tbl. spoon as soon as I flower her. She's 7" tall and beginning her 9th node transplanted yesterday I will either top or lst soon need a poll.Pot size 3g's

Peace out,

Hey ZOZO how goes it. Yeah topping huh? Well being you are with cfls and there is not too many there you do want to keep her low and bushy. I would top just below the top 2nd node. And see if she dont bush out from there so you can keep your lights just above a canopy of buds (future).

Counting from the bottom of plant would that be just above the 7th set of leaves (nodes).

GoldenGanja13 said:

If I am right that is where the meristem thins out. And that is where I would I top it. Less to heal. Also I would take off the first set of branches at the bottom. I do this first then the next day or so I top.

kiss-assOk my friend it sounds like very sound advice I lsted today and I'm going to see how that goes than I will definetly take the bottom set of leaves with the single leaf set. I'm also contenplating taking the tri leaf set too. maybe later down the road no. I plan on using all 13 of my cfl's by the end of my grow which I believe is more than enough for one plant. Thats with a 1200 lumen avg. times 13 thats 15,600 lumens..
