Yes currently I have 11 sativas. All are bagseed I've grown over the yrs and a couple I reproduced. I have three girls all of them look waxy, kinda rubberish. I think its in its genes. It sprouted like that too

Leaves looking a bit waxy and droopy. Not many of them either. A long flowering sativa by any chance?

I appreciate all responses. I will be posting up my bigger lady when I cut lights on. She's be lst'd a lot from 1week of life till now. Vertically she stands 3.76feet, but she is tied down many many times. Some branches on her are damn near 3ft curving with more branches shooting out. She is in full flower now. Same age and schedule as the rest but she choose to live her own life. She waited 3 1/2 weeks longer to flower while in 12/12 and given a 36hr dark period to induce lol. So its finally been about a little over 1week flower time compared to others

The bigger one had its pic taken the morning of 5/23. I will post another update when I wake up. Flowering is progressing well. Many many bud sites. I think is will be my favorite method of growing.

Well at the time I already had majority of the 26watt 100watt equivalent 1750k bulbs. I have a couple 200watt bulbs but I try to keep the heat down. Its becoming harder since summer is approaching and our humidity here is rising.

Thin strechy plants you have there and no that does not just come with use florescent lighting. It is all on how you use the lighting and how you top and train the plants. I am running all florescent lighting for my grow mostly HO T5. My guess is you have the lights up way too high, they need to be right on the plant almost touching. If and I stress the if, your plants produce a half way decent yield the stalks are so thin and stretchy that they will not be able to support the weight of the buds. Here are some pics of my grow that started flowering on 4/29 you can see the huge different in growth. I have my lighting as close to the plants as possible and the plants are surrounded in light.

Thanks for your reply bro and you are very correct. When they were in veggie I did have the lights to far away n its true, I had my last harvest three weeks ago and the plant looked like the leaning tower of piza lmao, I had to support her. 26gram top cola! Small plant tho only 22". I want to add a few t5 bulbs. I been gaining knowledge on them. I want 4t5s overhead and ill customize my cfls for side lighting.

Care to share ur knowledge on t5s?

Your girls are looking very well. Kick ass job bro. Proves cfl/ florencent lights can do a good job

This room is no where near complete. If rated I'd say 3 out of 10...

My bigger lady that I lst's updated pics coming sits uptop on the shelf under 2 pure 200watt cfls. I rotate her daily.

I want some ideas n suggestions to complete this grow room. Only cfls and florescent lighting I can use.
