I was rather impressed about my little bagseed grow, I turned a small shalf about 2 and a half feet tall into a little grow box with mirrors and white walls. I put 4 42 watt CFL bulbs in the cieling, two of them are in the corners about 3 or 4 inches from the plants tops and the other two are hung where needed above the rest of the plant to get some light coverage...do you think this is enough light for one plant? it's like 12,000 lumens and it's all in the 2700k spectrum,i think, the reddish tint ones. The plants leaves at the top started getting a little burned and folding upwards like a "hotdog" style crease going up the middle of the leaves. So I went and hot this fan that I can sit right udner the hood and blow air up and cool the lights and the plants off and cycle down and out under the pot. It's just bagseed so I really don't know how long to flower these, but if anyone had an Idea about how far along I look would be nice.

tell me what you guys think?

I have some more 23 watt cfl bulbs one of them is that cool blue color, maybe 2 of them are....idk...should I use those as well??

of course use the blue a mixed spectrum is great it the blue will make more resins as the red will give more of a overall growth IMO use both to get the best of both worlds

asfor when your plants are done there are several thing to look for (1) trichs have to be milky white with few amber trich the more the amber ones the more the thc has degraded and has a different effect when medicated personally I say 15-20% (2) be sure that your plant is not puching out some new pistils(white hairs) if it is then it is still making more calyxes (buds still growing) (3) be sure that the calyxes have fattened up they should be noticebly fatter than when not ripe I hope this helps

grssy-ass amigos. I feel alot less stressed about it now... I kept looking everyday like ....now?? lol
so you basically want to catch it right at the perfect time? not too many ambered trichs but enough to know that it is ready to pick... I think I can do that.
hey guys I will be making a journal of my new grow, 3 kushberry plants and I will be growing in mycabitnet and using LST and SCROG to keep the plant low. I really dont want to clip any tops on the plant, but I havent decided. theyre looking good right now tho!

Thanks a lot
