hey majic...i just posted my thread about a first cfl grow and was going to use the same title...changed it at the last minute, but when I refreshed the page and saw your post, i was a bit confused.

your plant looks great! she puts my little girl to shame, but she's been through hell and back.

peace

Oh my gosh, how bushy and balanced! Really, that is beautiful. Would you mind showing a pic of your light setup? I am attempting my first go at CFL (or any grow besides that one time in high school, but my cat ate it off the windowsill) and would love to absorb (I know lame joke) all of your experience.

She looks very sexy and I agree please show your light setup.

Sure thing guys.

First pic was my light setup thru the veg stage. Second pic is my current light setup for the flowering stage.

You have just encouraged me GREATLY. THANK YOU for sharing, and I cannot WAIT to apply all I've learned in such a short time to my next grow.

I added another CFL which now gives me a total of 161 watts. I repositioned the black clip-on lights to emit light onto the lower portion of the plant. I also move the lights daily to try and give all branches an equal amount of light.

Any experts care to chime in and tell me if this should give me a good yield? If not, what should I change?

are any of your stems purple? mine look a lot like that, thought it could be a related strain?

It appears the branch stems are purple on the top but green on the bottom. Not sure what that means...?

Yeah Men Great Job! such simple set-up I've been trying so many different ways and it has been difficult but im liking what you got Thanks

pretty impressive. i have over 300 watts and im 31 days into flowering and i wish my buds looked like that. Great Job man.

love the pics keep this up, im tuned in dude

your set man the key to a big plant is a big pot=BIG yeildsnice check your temps and maybe add a cfl or 2 but for 151 watts that looks goood!

So you went 22 days of veg and then started 12/12. It sure looks like a Northern lights strain..its going to tast real good. Happy Smoking..

Looking Nice Mate Keep it up!! More Pics Please

Yeah that sounds about right. She sprouted on 2/27 and I put her into flowering on 3/19. It is Northern Lights x Skunk #1

I started out with 6 23w bulbs for the flowering stage. I now have 9 which equals 207w.

A lot of the hairs have been changing to a burnt orange color. I've also been eyeing the trichomes and I believe I have found several that are cloudy. I went ahead and flushed her yesterday in the bathtub. I think I am going to use molasses for the rest of the grow as I have heard lots of good stuff about it. Here's a couple pictures after I flushed her. Day 44 flowering.
