There aren't too many Hawaii Maui Waui CFL grows on these forums, so after a RIU hiatus, I thought I'd run this for anyone who is interested in the strain and the growing methods I use.
My current setup:
2 x 125W Maxibright CFL bulbs (6400K for vegging, then I swap them for two 2700K during flower)
Double-decker cabinet (ghetto rigged two cabinets together), upper half (growing chamber) lined with mylar, lower half contains the water tank
Homemade flood and drain hydroponic system, using clay pebbles and rockwool cubes as growing medium
Below are some pics after a little over a week:
And here are some a week later (just took these):
This grow is really similar to my last, in that the plant (although a sativa dominant strain) stays really short and bushy until she gets her 12 hours of darkness per day (flowering light cycle). Only then does she start to stretch out. All the new growth is coming straight out of the main stem, with almost zero inter-nodal spacing. My last plant (Original Amnesia from Dinafem) looked like a short bush until I started flowering her, but she grew fantastically well into the screen during flower.
My screen is about 18 inches from the base of the plant, so I figure it'll take another 3-4 weeks of veg until the plant is about 15 inches tall. I'll flip her to flower when she's an inch or so below the screen. This is the boring part of the grow. Not much happens, so unless I get direct requests to do so, I won't post any more pics until another week has passes. Daily pics aren't that interesting once you're a few grows deep.
As always, feedback welcome. Keep it friendly, peeps.
Peace
