Guys are these big for cfl? They are the biggest Ive grown so far with just cfl lights. These pics are not even the main cola. The main cola is hard to take a pic of because its all bent in a L shape.

Its weird because the plant was trimmed, I would say 40-50% of its branches where cut off right before flowering because of health issues. This plant made BIGGER buds compared to my healthy plant with way more growth branches and buds. Im going to weigh it when its done and compare the weight to a plant with more buds but smaller buds. Ill upload a video to youtube when my lights are on, you will shit when you see the main cola.

This is one of the earlier pics of my grow. There are 2 satori plants and one Mandala 1 on the right. The one on the left is big healthy and has lots of buds but each bud ended up WAY smaller than the second satori which is more in the back. You can see how much smaller and stressed and demented looking. She would later grow into the pics in my topic pics.

I never had a light directly on top of her. She was my rightoff plant and I didnt clone it. The 4x3 closet had about 400watts of CFL in there. 4 26 watt bulbs and the remainder where 45watt bulbs. Mainly 2700k and one or two 6400k. But half way through flowering I replaced the 26watt bulbs with 2 105watt cfl 2700k bulbs.

Also I was doing my nutrients wrong. Instead of res changing every week I was just adding in the nutes. Making the EC 4.0. I made a post in this forum and realised my nutes needed to be changed weekly with the res. So I did.

Im a real noob with this stuff. Its only my second grow. So Im learning from the screw ups but I think maybe because I had to trim the hell out of her and the abuse I put her into made her stronger. I will make a youtube video with the main cola so you can see how fat it is. The pics are confusing to really grasp it. Plus I wanted video record of my heavy hitter.

That is why people lollipop their plant. cut off the bottom branches that don't get much light so the energy is focused on the buds that do get light..

nice satori. i grew that last summer. took it to 11 weeks under a 400w hps, so cfl might take a tad longer. it was a great smoke, everyone loved it. mine got that weird claw on a few of the leaves, too. no n issues. maybe just the strain. looks real nice. and fuck the guy who says you didn't use cfl. i believe you. looks a little less dense than mine but mine was under an hid. looks nice. congrats.

I dont have HID lights so no I didnt switch anything. HID would make it way bigger especially since the size of the colas is due to the plant getting a HEAVY trim before flowering. I mean 50% of the branches. I think thats why it got so big.

So we have a fellow Satori lover in the house!! Im at week 14. How about that huh. You did 3 weeks on me. Why did you never grow satori again?
