want more yield yank her down some more with lst

Honestly i dont think i could "yank her down" any more than i already have without the leaves touching the lights on the sides. trust me i would if i could just because i likes my plants small and bushy, will take some more pictures in half a hour when the lights turn back on!

Well im hopeful for a 5 oz harvest, more would be awesome but its only gonna be a about two feet tall when its done im sure, there are so many tops and i have tons of light surrounding the plant, i think ima try to put a light inside the plant just gotta figure out a good way to do it, i always mist the plant and i dont wanna risk electrical shock or fire because i did something stupid:) so ima try and figure out something, ANY IDEAS? anyone feeling high and creative?

Yea i know its a big wish, now that im finally making some money maybe i can upgrade to hps after this grow, its just gonna set me back like 350$ for the grow tent, light/reflector/balast, and ventilation supplies. all just depends on how this grow turns out:)

Very, very impressive, sir.

I'm curious to know how you have the rest of the room set up.

What dimensions are you working with?

Have you gotten serious about ventilation?


As far as the medium goes; did you use anything other than basic potting soil?

Persevere!

I think your CFL grow is outstanding...I still think the HPS will pay for itself in yeild and quality..:peace:

Dimensions: 3 feet wide, 2 1/2 foot deep, 7ft tall, its the side of my closet,

Ventilation: nothing really just leave the fan on in my room and it moves air around the closet too, the leaves are barely shaking but you can see it, i plan on adding a fan in there soon just because its getting summertime here and the room heats up slightly, to like 78 degrees at nighttime when the door is closed even though the lights are off:)

I know the hps well help me in yield but quality, i get good quality buds off of CFL plants, just as good as anything grown off hps, but anyways, im still gonna order either a 150 or 250 hps in two weeks, when i will finally have a whole paycheck to work with, i will definately have a a fan as soon as i get that, gotta get the heat out, anyone know how much a 250hps will heat up a room with poor insulation? i know my 1000 watt hps sent the temps well above 100 degrees farenheit. im not sayin i will leave it poorly ventilated, just wanted to know the temp range.

Well thanks for the questions and comments, ill add some more pictures when i get a chance, the flowers are really starting to form, cant wait for fat juicy buds!!!!

Ok so here is some new pics, the beginning of buds forming, the plant is huge and grew like crazy while i was at work so i had to cut a few burnt tips off of the leaves. besides that all is going good, watered with 4 liters of water instead of 1 liter and she fucking loved it, getting big enough to need that kinda water, stalk is a little bigger than a AA battery not quite D size battery. anyways here are the new pictures, check it out!!!



WATER BOTTLE SIZE METER


NOTICE!: changed the exposure on some of the pictures, light was so bright you could not see the plant very well, out of the bright lights she is very dark green!!!!

i know the container looks like a milk jug but its not, its a 5 gallon container that is used to store fryer oil in for restraunts, so im good as far as that goes, but thanks for checkin my grow, if it was a milk jug i would definately transplant to something bigger! anyways my girl mary j is asleep and i should be too, later guyz

Sup guys i changed the lighting around again, added 2 more Y splitters to better distribute the light. trimmed a few leaves that just kept getting burnt tips from the lights, the Y splitter also helped keep leaf tips away from the bulbs. Besides that there are alot of hairs, 12 main tops and over 20 secondary tops (lower smaller branches), so heres the pictures!
