looks pretty good nice and healthy
ty sir i thought so too have added a lower watt cfl with no reflector to the lower area of space for more side lighting and thinking of adding another the same as has made the bottom area alot brighter without adding more heat as it stays at a steady 78 - 80 so wanna try and maintain that

Looks like your girl is making buds! That's always the best part of the grow :)

CFL's don't penetrate well
Meaning that if the plant is tall then the lower part will not get enough light to really yield well.

You have a bit of an extreme case since your plant is so stretched out. With your new light that shouldn't happen any more.

On your next grow you might consider using LST or some kind of mini scrog to keep your canopy flat. It will greatly increase your yield

I hear ya the thing with this plant was that it started in a window i never intended to go this far but upon doing the research i realised what was required if i wanted it to work out.

I must say with all the help i have recieved i am very happy with her progress

I have already got the seeds on the way for my next grow im going for speedy gonzales auto

Tomorrow i am picking up another cfl but blue spectrum ready for the autos so i have both red and blue spectrum


LST or some kind of mini scrog to keep your canopy flat ( Not necessary with next grow )

My auto grow went really well (except for the Oil plant from Autofem) I am very impressed with autos. They are a very good choice to grow while your grow cab is still under construction.


The blue lamp should be a great addition. I run 4x23W 6500K cfls with one 13W 2700 cfl's for veg and that's doing very nicely! I dont know the best balance of spectra for veg and flower yet. I am new to cfls.

The scrog thing. Yes it's wise to start simple ramp up slowly. Too many people try to build a really advanced setup before they've done any growing. And there are other factors to consider apart from yield. Like having a life outside your grow room :)

At the moment i have 1 x 125 watt red spectrum cfl and 2x 25 watt 2700 small cfls
The cfl i am adding is 125 watt blue spectrum version im hoping this gives a good dose of both spectrums for the autos

wow bro looking good the added light will be well worth it
Thanks Bro building my room up and putting all my research and help from u guys together has been very rewarding and i cant believe what has become of my plant

It just goes to show what a difference a little of the right equipment can make cant wait to start the next grow and see what i can produce with a slightly better setup

Looking nice Hibbzy, i've gone down pretty much the same route as you, building the room up and adding as i grow. Subbed and looking forward to your harvest :peace:

Thanks bro

I wish i would have had all the right stuff from the start i think i could of had a big harvest but for my first grow i am very happy

Im looking forward to the harvest for sure but i will wait till she is ready im in no rush

Im guessing about another 5 weeks or so she should be good
