So here I am at day 33 of my first CFL grow. Here are a few of the technicals of the grow:

-- I have two Strawberry Cough, one California Hash and one Blue Hash started from seeds I got from The Attitude. (All Feminized seeds)

-- I am vegging under 10 26W 6500K CFL's and 6 15W 6500K CFL's

-- Using FFOF soil in 3 Liter pots, Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow, and Floralicious Pro for veg. Will be using Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Flower, Floralicious and Liquid Karma for Flower

-- I am trying out LST on one of the Strawberry Cough's since she was growing fast and furious. She took to it real well!

So what do you guys think? Are they looking ok at day 33? Any hints or do you see any problems so far? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an initial grow log linked in my sig for a lot of the gory details and pics from the beginning.

Thanks for checkin' out my girlz!!!

The last picture is of my Blue Hash plant. Its stem is like twice the size of the other three. Is that normal maybe based on strain? I've had fans on them pretty much from the get go since I'm in SoCal and it has been friggin' HOT down here.

thanks,

Ugh!!! No thanks! hehe I was out in San Bernadino last weekend and it was 114deg. I would imagine growing in Texas would be similar! I couldn't live in heat like that let alone try and grow anything in it!!! lol

So from this picture, in my infinite newbness, I see like 7 potential bud sites. Four of them are fairly well developed (well... to me the look it! haha) I'm thinking of going into flower this weekend (Day 38). 1) Is this too early? I have a 2'x3'x4' space to grow the 4 plants. 2) Do I let all 7 of the bud sites go even though 3 of them are fairly small? I used TillthedayiDIE420's LST guide as a starting point and reference, but am just looking for a few other opinions as well.

These two pics are of my girl Strawberry2 that I put into bondage. Any comments, tips or concerns are appreciated!

Thanks,

My plan when I go into flower is to have 6 40W 2900 lumen 2700K cfl's, 6 23W 1300 lumen 2700K cfl's and 4 26W 1750 lumen 6500K cfl's. (This gives me 5167 lumen/sq.ft and 81 watts/sq.ft) At some point I will probably swap out the 6500K's for 2700K's and maybe replace some of the 23W with 40W. The girlz will also get some time every other weekend or so to soak up some socal rays. I'm going to switch to the Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Flower and still use the Floralicious Plus and every other water throw in some liquid karma and cal mag. Is that too much on the nute's?

So my plan is to have 2 40W 2700k cfls, 1 23W 2700k cfl and 1 26W 6500k cfl above each plant. think that will be enough when I start to flower? I know I'll probably end up adding more as they get bigger. Just wanna' know if this will do for now.

Thanks,
