its kinda in there hanging from a y socket at a 45 degree angle with a 3500k and a 5000k 26 watt bulbs in another y at the other end of the y socket. its basically in the middle of the lower edge of the plant about 1/2" from several buds. then the other 7x22w bulbs surrond the perimeter.
and a 22oz soda can makes a big enough reflector for the football cfl

The last couple days I noticed some roots were showing near the base of the plant at the top of the soil. I put a little more soil in today to cover it and gave her a good watering.
I would love to just rip off a bud and smoke it up.. good thing I have this nicely cured headband to keep me busy.

Heres a pic hopefully im not hijacking your thread i swear that this will be all I post pic wise. Thanks for checking out my baby, I like yours alot too.

Looking great Formula, you topped right? What week and at what nodes?

no i never topped it. I never cut anything. I just pulled it over a week before i flipped the lights to 12/12
In the canopy picture the top of the plant is the biggest cola over to the top left of the plant. the plant is pulled down straight back in that picture and it curves around the edge of the pot to the left. it has grown pretty even though, some of the lower branches have stretched really far but the buds are right where they need to be for best light.

Good, I thought that was possible without topping. I lsted mine and it gave me 5 more tops. But my plant is really small, first try and such. The next plant is going to be a lot like yours. I have that triploid, that is giving me 3 branches per node, so its going to be a beast, definitely going to have to lst it to get light to all the bud sites. That is if it ends up female, then Im going to clone the shit out of it.

this plant would be about 18" tall if i had not lst'ed it. it is a fairly small plant. i will try to get some comparison shots with a lighter or something in there.
this plant lived outside for the first 5 weeks of its life. luckily, the only bugs i ever got were those beneficial springtails
