Hey, so I finally created an account here since I come here all the time for questions. My plant is a female bagseed, no idea on strain or anything. Planted her on 4/19. Some other background.

I used miracle grow moisture control. I know now, horrible choice. So I haven't gave her any additional nutes. For veg had her under 2 100w equiv cfls 6500k for half then added two more . when starting to flower, 4 100w equivs 2700k.

Currently 2 weeks into flowering. A few lower leaves that recieve a lot less light have fallen off. Slight discolor also on lower leaves. I'm guessing that's all normal. Just any tips, suggestions, what to expect or anything would be appreciated. Here's a few pics to! My camera sucks ass so i took a lot to try and help.1436463262214.jpg 1436463305361.jpg 1436463262214.jpg 1436463305361.jpg 1436463262214.jpg 1436463305361.jpg 1436463262214.jpg 1436463305361.jpg 1436463262214.jpg 1436463262214.jpg 1436463305361.jpg 1436463262214.jpg 1436463305361.jpg

More light is a great thing, to the point heat becomes a problem, then figure out how to control your heat (and smell hopefully!).

I think problem is temp related. Not bad looking plant.

Have you got any ocislating fans on her to keep air movement. ?

Try flushing her pot out

Then start mild nutes maybe.
Nice plant tho. Goodluck

You have less light growing your plant than my livingroom fan............

"100w equiv" means ~25w .....

Go outside... stare at the sun for 3 seconds....

Did that hurt? Does your desktop lamps hurt like that? No? Then they are not an adequate artificial sun....

Your lights are meant to replace THE SUN.... not a reading lamp....

If you have to go CFL.... you need many... many bro... and not only above, you need side lighting too.... A 1000w HPS gives 18" of light penetration.... a 23w CFL... you get the canopy, and only the canopy... outer surfaces only... and ur gonna want them like 6" away.... CFL's are usually for small compact cabinet grows, running SoG/SCRoG, rows of lights.... Get more bulbs going, get air movin across them, the base more than the bulb as its probably hotter taking ur 120v down to a 23w cfl.....

Or buy a 250-400w grow light..... They are meant for growing plants... If you can find your 'gro lights' in the grocery store next to the batteries and paper towels... they are not meant to grow plants... they are merely capable of keeping them alive...

I know she looks good right now, but remember... she loses 75% @ harvest... what you see now, is probably what you will have after harvest/drying. About 1/4.... If you dont pull an oz per plant, ur probably better off buying than growing...

If ur keeping this one this way, add 8-12 more lights n another fan or two to go with.... surround that bitch with light.... (Or give her sunlight during the day when u can, but be mindful of pests if ur going outside with it)
