so yeah this is my first grow and i started with 5 plants decided to keep only one and make it my baby hehe :mrgreen: \
it's has now been for 2 weeks and 3 days in flowering and i guess i am pretty happy with the result considering its my first grow bud sites are starting to show but no sign of what so ever of the calyx swelling up yet ... ill give it another 1-2 weeks hehe i guess im nervous about this plant bongsmilie:eyesmoke:

it's under 8x23w CFL
i currently have 6x2700k
and 2x6500k

i am not looking into switching those two last bulbs since i've seen good threads about mixing the spectrum actualy reduces some of the streching if i am right :/

ill be uploading pics soon having some issues on that side but for now i can tell you i did some : topping, scrog, and fimming into this grow since i was taking it has a try and see for a first timer but everything actually turned out to look great in my opinion :joint::joint::joint:

any good advice will be taken seriously and i appreciate people taking there time to post a feed back and to stick to this thread and see wassup :D


***EDIT*** For anyone wandering this is a legal grow nothing illegal is done for this i have the rights to grow up to 12 plants and not go over 4 pounds per harvest if im right, I suffer from hard chronic insomnia and tried multiple sleep pills that only made me not wanna wake up in the morning ... my doctor signed the papers and voila !
 
Ive had mine under 2700k's for the hole grow turning out just fine so far :) into my 5th week of flowering. Most people love the mix spectrum "advantage" with cfl's . it all just depends on real wattage/lumens tho in the long run. besides the need for 2700k to flower ( makes for compact buds? instead of light and fluffy I belive)

Hope to see pics

will brg the pics up tonight or tomorow morning depending how much i get stoned haha bongsmilie:eyesmoke:

mhh i have a qeustion since you said your on week 5 of flowering how long till it took for yours to go from white hair bud to swollen calyx look ?

edit *** yes and i do have 184w running onto one qutie small plant is it worth it to keep my 8 bulbs running or it won't change anything if i just pull 100-120w ?
 
Normally around the 3rd-4th week I've noticed ( mostly 4th week or 30th day of flowering. tho it was 24-30th day I noticed the biggest changes) . after that you'll notice a lot of "bud" development. week 5+ seems to add of the weight on to the buds tho. You'll see what I mean. It really doesn't take that long. and your almost at that mark.
 
day 4 on 2 week flowering

thanks for a little developement chart for what i shall be expecting in the following weeks :P

Lights are not on yet they still have 2 hours of yummy sleep to go and i might be updating their status depending if there is any noticable change,

on this happy smoking everyone :bigjoint:bongsmilie
 
day 5 of 2 week flowering,

today i noticed alto of THC productin in the middle of the bud sites hoping these will go allover the plant :D but anyway ill keep in touch in any change comes up :blsmoke:
 
week 3 of flowering 2 days in flowering and the plant now has a little pine smell starting ... i can notice alot of THC production pretty much allover ... buds are startign to swell a bit i guess :) they started getting a bit bigger and they seem to be trying to form 1 big bud along all the stems ... on this happy smoking y'all :bigjoint:
 
Fun little grow, how long did you veg for? Have you tried making some kind of cheap reflector for your lights? Seems like a lot of wasted light...
 
i vegged for 2 weeks and meaning 2 weeks saying by taking first set of real leaves as day 1 ... so about 3weeks to month including the seedling stage, as for the reflectors idk what i could be doing if you have any idea on how i could reduce the lost of light any help will be appriciated and taken seriously, on this nice smoke everyone :bigjoint:
 
i took Mrtokenpuff advice an made a cfl reflector for each of the bulbs seperatly using empty alluminium cans i noticed alot less lost of light and alot more brightness going downward to the plant
 
good morning everything is now great on day 3 off 3 week of flowering 4 days away from the 4 week :) nothign new yet lights are still sleepy hehe
 
Awesome man, I was thinking of a more central reflector for the entire light source but can't wait to see the individual reflectors. Any pics yet?
 
day 4 of 3 week in flowering thc is now showing on top of buds and these won't take too long from now to swell up and show them fruits, globally plants looking healthy little overnuting traces on tip of leaves but nothign i can really do because if i flush from now on i won;t be able to give it nutes since i plan on fulshing it with plain Ph'ed water for the last 2 weeks to let the fertz clean out ...
