Looking good man. I have had relative luck with CPF. I woud have gotten better yields if not for mistakes I made. Chck the link in my sig. Good luck man. Can't wait to see some buds forming.

 

[mygirls]

they look good. are you flowering now or in veg still

 

[ctemp1]

Well i have to flower them now. My mom found them and wanted them gone. My brother got another one right next to it maybe you see his thread. Thats his.

 

[ctemp1]

My bad that is his

 

[ctemp1]

You guys think that is enough light.

 

[TheBotOnist]

Yall are crazy...

 

[TheBotOnist]

It has enough light to do good but more is def. beter.

 

[mygirls]

You guys think that is enough light.

not for flower . you need more lights. my buddy has 48 cfl's in a 5ft high by 3ft square.

 

[ctemp1]

damn 48 that is a shit ton i bet his electric bill is through the roof. Naw my mom cool with smoking she just don't want them growing in her house she was cool about it she could have just ripped them right out.

Any suggestions as to nutr. or anything to make the bud denser or better.

 

[TheBotOnist]

Try to lay off the Nitrogen when you flwr. Use a fert that has a little more Phosphate in it. Only use a little at a time though. Bette to under fert than to over fert.

To make the bud really dense go get a $45 dollar HPS from Home depote/lowes in the outdoor lighting section. They are 70-75 watts. Not nearly as much Lumens as like a 250-400 watter but you will see crazy growth and density when you use it in conjunction with your CFL. Plus they don't get that hot and the power consumption woudn't even be noticed.

 

[TheBotOnist]

But sometimes during the flowering stretch the plant will need a little nitrogen so make sure to look for signs of N def. when stretching.

 

[ctemp1]

i don't need no ballast or anything with the HPS light.

 

[TheBotOnist]

It comes with it man. all in one little 1ft by 1ft by 1ft box. It will have an oraange glow on the box anf it will say 70watt High Pressure Sodium.
