First All CFL Grow

[SweetestCheeba]

Thanks much apakz. i can bet im gonna be changing the grow space until i really get comfortable. i have a 150w hps i jus brout a new bulb for, so that will be in there soon. i plan on putting the hps over the tops and using the cfls for side lighting(i wanna kepp them as short and bushy as possible)

UPDATE!!!!!
Went into the grow space tonight and found some jairs ppling out from 2 of 5 plants. Since I have limited space im gonna stick to these 2 girls for my grow. The othets r going out on the patio to begin revegging.

UPDATE!!!!!!
Something told me to go into the grow space and check the one plant I had in a 2L soda bottle, I kept faith by keeping it in the grow space. ITS A GIRL!!!! Im only so excited b/c she has responded the most to lsting. She has now 4-5 m ain colas which I plan to top once I transfer her into a 5 gal bucket. So 3 it is. Right now I have 384 watts on three girls, I wanna have more like 500-600 on the 3. What do u guys think? I jus want really dense nugs.

What is "jairs ppling"?

 

[SweetestCheeba]

Its was supposed to say hairs peeping

 

[OxDaNig]

when you saw the hairs peeking were he plants in veg or flower, cause i have a plant vegging from a clone on 18 / 6 and the pistols are already showin...i dont know why

 

[SweetestCheeba]

They were flowering, ive been doing 12/12 since a week after sprouting. They after 3 weeks, how old r urs

NEW SETUP!!!
436w,3 plants, Shootin for 3oz a plant, What do u guys think.

 

[hillbillygro]

3 oz a plant would be bad ass. I am subbed and anxious to see the outcome.

Hell yea that would b fuckin awsome, i wanna set my standards high for myself, i add more and more light to the grow room every week. I stopped by homedepot today and grabbed some 5000k 23w cfls to encourage some stretch. i pulled the lights back some as well, i think they were stressed from heat but i fed last night and they look fine today.
Checked out my girls and the one in the 2L soda bottle has a chute that has a set of 3 i jus know these nugs are gonna b dense she is respondind well to the lsting she has about 8-10 tops. My other 2 girls are jus wonderful their leaves are soo big and wide they hide most of the chutes. I tried to tuck most of the leaves but since the feeding yesterday they went wild so i had to do some pruning, i cant wait till the chutes grow past the fan leaves to i can really shoe their growth, these pics do them little justice.

I jus added the 5000k 23w ones today, i started with the 2700k 26w cfls. i keep hearing that its best to have a mixed spectrum. And yea i wanna see that.

 

[Mister Black]

nice to see things progressing. How big are the pots you have the bigger plants in?

 

[SweetestCheeba]

Thanks MB, They are in 2gal pots

 

[SweetestCheeba]

[Dannysayo]

Damn I been posting pics everywhere but here. She's lookin good bro. Fuckin heat. Even w/ fans you can't do much

 

[SweetestCheeba]

Thanks Danny, So i figured out it wasnt jus heat stress, since she is in such a small container she needs to be fed every watering. She is now at 3/4 strength. Went into the closet today and they all are unique in their own way. One is lookin tip top, Healthy green, bushy, and perky. The other is linky but is perfect for lsting (so i tied all of the chutes down except 4) &the girl in the 2L bottle always looks better after a feeding

 

[SweetestCheeba]

She is really lookin good today

 

[Dannysayo]

Looking good bro. I like. Check out my thread, its pretty much new "A few of my cfl girls. Flowering since 4/15"

Its a few if my ladies. If I'm correct I think 5/11 that are in flower.

She is really lookin good today

It's probably fine, but having 6 lightbulbs on 1 shitty extension cord just screams fire hazard to me.
I have 1 - 150W 7500lumen 5500k+2 13W 6500k 900 lumen bulbs with 1 big clamp reflector and 2 smaller ones on each plant, probably about 2-3 inchs away, if you have the room. give them as many bulbs as you can fit, safely.
P.S. im using a heavy 14 gauge extension cord with a 1900W power bar. If your gonna use ghetto lights keep a fire extinguisher near by.

that reply was for page 1. didnt see your recent updates + clamp lights.
They are coming along, nice job.
