My first indoor grow with CFL's

put a fucking hps or something in there please
it looks great, fuck that guy. i wish my plant looked like that at day 13 with my cfls
its been on 600w HPS for 3 weeks, did the veg and only did the first wk of 12/12 with cfl, then switched to HPS, its does say that /\/\ up there in thread, if I'd had 3 less plants I'd have done it all cfl, light wasn't getting over all 9 pots unless it was hung high so had to keep it low and rotate the pots, I'll do a full cfl grow at some point for shits'n'giggles and compare yield to MH/HPS grow.
 
my ladies are now at 4-6wks flowering, gotta say 4-6wks as some started pretty much as I switched to 12/12 and some took nearly 2 weeks to show, they've now had a couple of feeds of pk 13/14 and they seem to have gone boing and swollen :mrgreen: so heres a pic of the lot and a couple of bud porn pics, cant fucking wait till these ladies are ready, picked myself up a 40x25mm loupe and things are looking cloudy, so already prepped myself with a couple of 2l kilner jars and a couple of hygrometers so I'm good to go when they are :cool:

let me know what you think please

fuck they look so good!!! i would love to see someone really compare yields from CFL and HPS i just bought some CFL bulbs because of the heat, electricity consumption and cost and all i hear about them is conflicting arguments some saying it is a waste of time and money with cfl some saying they see no difference...
nice work on the grow! and if i get one plant that looks as good as one of yours i would be over the moon!!!
 
yes you could. i carnt resist i always take a sample a week earley even if i got plenty to smoke i just carnt wait.
don't encourage me King, it'd be a jaffa cake scenario if I start QC, little bit here little bit there, next thing I know, empty packet :lol:

cheers maumau93, they smell awesome, this grow was supposed to be just on cfl's, then do a grow with MH and HPS to compare, but I lent a mate one of my 300w reds and my reflector would be good for 6 plants at a low height, was getting a pain keep shifting them around so they all got some light, or put the light higher but then suffer from stretch, so decided to throw the HPS in. This grow was a bit rushed to set up, lack of quality bud and stupid prices I had to bring the grow forward a few months.

I reckon considering this is my first indoor grow they're not looking too bad, and they've still got 4-6wks to go :mrgreen: so hopefully in a month or so this will be me :bigjoint: If I can pull 1oz dry off each I don't need to grow for 6 months or so, happy dayz 8)

still looking good!! nice work!
 
week 6-8 now, all the trichs have been cloudy for a couple of weeks so hopefully the ambers will start appearing in a couple of weeks, then its harvest time, other than a top that seems to have died and completely dried out and another that looks like its poss going the same way its not looking too bad. the top thats completely died had the top 1/2" snap off when I squeezed it, and considering its completely dead actually tasted quite nice and I'm rather mashed now 8-)

heres a bit of bud porn for you
 
cheers king, I moved a few out the tent to give em a good look over and the only things that was holding them up was each other, it was like trying to pack a tent back into its original bag :lol: I've got lower branches that cant support the cola's, I've propped em all back best I could, so I'm prob gonna start to harvest in the next few days, this shit is the most pokey smoke I've had for ages, actually woke up with a dope hangover this morning, thats not happened for years :bigjoint:

we'll, I was going to harvest today but decided I'd try the garden wire trick, thought might as well have a practise, and it turned out pretty good I rekon, prob going to let it be for a couple of days then maybe loosen the wire so they can relax a bit, I'm at the start of the 8th week of flowering so hopefully will see amber trichs soon, cheers king

wow thats a lot of bud, well done man well done
thanks Mr Jones, heres a couple of shots after I had a tidy up and tie session.

that is going to be WAY more than an oz a plant, and homegrown is ALWAYS better than weed you buy, i dont know why, but all the weed i have grown has been better than the weed i buy, including from dispensaries, and the big ones too
