my first grow cfl

[simisimis]

I've seen some pessimistic people, but seriously how worse can you get? )) 5-8grams... I was also misjudging a lot of people, thinking that most of them have bigger plant at a time compared, until I checked few pictures where casual things like lighter were close to plant so you could visualize the actual size. All those help asking threads because first time growers imagine differently what they read and make mistakes... I also think that you should get like at least 60-70 grams, would say maybe 80g? So my guess - around 3 ounces.. dude she's gorgeous, imagine if it's already like this, how big it will get till december...

Sim i am loving your positivity and warm words to sooth the frantic and unsure feeling i have. I tell you what if i get 3 oz off her you can have a free oz.lol Thank you for the complement.

i used the same buckets for my 1st cfl grow lol.. add drain holes man and dont be afraid to get your cfl a little closer to prevent stretching, how many watts you using.. real watts.. not the equivalent

I never called a solo cup a bucket, LOL.
Especially when it has alcohol in it.

She has hella' branches with lots of buds just not sure how big they are going ti get my gallon bucket is full of roots so much that they are trying to come threw the top so i put some more soil in but im afraid the buds won't get much bigger in the bucket shes in but don't want to risk anything trying to transplant at 5th week of flowering. So i say i take away dry 5-8 grams.

I repotted two of mine 3 weeks into flower, and they were fine.
Just don't drop them or beat them up.

Couple ounces is not unrealistic if the rest of the plant looks like the view we can see in that last pic.
Nice work.
I recently pulled the top 6" of cola on my indica, and lost 10g in water weight overnight drying it, so I ended up with a little over an 1/8 dry.

I've been peeking in on Lily every now and then,she's looking good.Yes,3 oz. is not out of the question, just depends on how dense those nugs are.You've been getting good advice so remember keeps them lights as close as possible,USE SIDE LIGHTING if you can.GL.

 

[boogums105]

Thanks alot guys really appreciate the kind words and advise. next set of pics in couple days also have her on YouTube same user name.

 

[imchucky666]

Maybe another week or so, and try to center her better in the new pot.

.3 grams per watt off of a CFL grow is a good yeild. even if she is that small.

I'm only on my second grow, my first only went to a week into flower due to getting jumped and cops involved so I chopped my plants and stashed every grow item I had in about 10 minutes before they showed up, lol. But I learned to LST a little bit and I've spent endless hours reading post and researching. .3 grams per watt is a decent yeild, I'm shooting for .5 per watt based on patience, nurturing, and paying attention to my lil lady. I've noticed 2 bud sites where the hairs have started to look like they are burnt at the tips. Might be due to not flushing those 2 weeks, because I've noticed a few fan leaves with red spots too. I used to have the page marked of deficiencies once, but not anymore. just going to take it easy on her for a few days.

Ok boogums, Here is the pic of my first grow, this plant was 1 foot,6 inches tall.

Picture is just before harvesting it Do you see the difference? )) This is why I am so excited about yours, cause your first grow does not look like 1st grow AT ALL... You gonna yield, and you gonna yield it good, replant it, tell some fairy tails before sleep and you gonna have it. You know what they say, It's better manage to climb 80% of a mountain, than to score in climbing on a hill. besides 2.5ounces is really neither optimistic nor pessimistic and 3 ounces is something to dream about and head for it, Haha I would like to see how you score 3 ounces and put one ounce of your sweetheart on the airmail to Europe I wonder how far the package would manage to get ))
Keep it up man!

ipee I am not sure about those white hairs turning brown, but I thought the first ones start turning brown not because of the not flushing, but because that they aged.. This is not a statement, maybe more like a question ) Haha unordinary 1st grow story btw

 

[boogums105]

Just to give you an size comparison.

 

[Smokenpassout]

How about some updated pics of Lily?

 

[boogums105]

Well i just posted a updated pic with her next to a 24 oz beer can.

 

[ipeeinpools]

She looks good. I think the hairs on my plant aren't burnt now, they look more like they're just turning orange...just seems early for that to happen.

 

[simisimis]

Haha first I thought - ok not bad, but then I realized one thing. Europeans have 500ml (17oz) beer cans, but when I converted 24oz lol its even bigger. nice... Waiting for the youtube video btw

 

[boogums105]

Look up my user name on YouTube same one as here i have plenty of vids of Lilly.

 

[boogums105]

So side bud sites don't seem to be getting much bigger but my main cola is beefing up good. Think i am going to give her nutes for one more week then just water. Think i only have 3 1/2 more weeks till done what do you think?

 

[simisimis]

I think more.. At least on my first plant fair started turning brown quite early, but I was looking when about 80-90 percent of them will become brown. And that took a while.. Over a month..

 

[ipeeinpools]

i think you might need to add 3 weeks to that math...50 day flower seems light.
