First All CFL Grow

[SweetestCheeba]

interesting, usually everything i hear is 'never mist in flowering' but i'm be curious to see your results. are you worried about mold at all? are you gonna continue misting deeper into flowering? do you use a surfactant? look at me......comrade question over here


you're gonna lollipop those girls huh? i'd think the hps would help with penetration/ those girls are small enough to get good light on lower budsites, but i guess they are getting pretty fuckin bushy and you'd know best (you're in the room with them! lol) pic 2 of that last update is lookin LUSH man hope the rest of flowering goes well for ya

Thanks much P.H, i think i will mist less and less as they continue to flower, but as far as mold goes the humidity never goes above 60% and with the fan in there to keep air moving i HOPE its not a problem.
I have only decided to lollipop one of them, i have began to notice lower bud sites showing good growth. so im gonna keep them to make butter. & yea LUSH is really takin off.

Few pics of my lovely girls. All bag seeds but i rubbed the stalks and they all have a unique smell to them. Cant wait for them to pic up some characteristics of some known strains.

UPDATE!!!
SO i went ahead and checked the trichs of my 2 oldest gilrs and i have to say all over she is lookin about 40%-50% cloudy.
They are both only about 45 days since showing hairs. My first time really using a loupe throughout the grow, should they be this developed soo soon?

Me and a friend also have a project out back of my building (no deers, no big rodents, not many bugs, completly gated area)
Its a boy that we found in his closet and decided to jus put it in the ground, i plan on doin some research on collecting pollen and harvesting seeds. Would love to have my own breed of bagseed.

Took a lower nug from each of the 2 older girls and have them quick drying ATM.
One of them has a great smell to it already.
I jus wanna quick dry them to test each plant, so i hung a nug in a cardboard box and put a fan in front of it, they both seem to be ready only at wk 7.
I checked the trichs last night and it was 70%+ cloudy on the buds.

WEEK 7
View attachment 2717794View attachment 2717800View attachment 2717803Still around 70% cloudy on the oldest 2 and they look like they have a bit more swelling to do.
The last girl in pic 3 is about a wk or 2 behind.

Be patient man.

Nice by you.

A couple guys have similar set ups, but using 9.5w CREE WW leds (~ $13 at HD/Lowes)

Go to the led threads to find them

My experience switching from cfls to leds is fatter, denser buds

I like how you have the definition between when you flipped, and when they started flowering.

I try to save ppl the confusion and let em know its a difference @ the same time.

Good man, not everybody realizes that, and I think that's where a lot of the questions start is when somebody reads the review from the seed bank telling them a predicted number of days under optimum conditions, and they panic when that number comes from the time they flipped..........
Not realizing hardly any of our conditions are as perfect as the breeder, and not taking into account the 7-20 days it took from the flip to the first preflower.

Be patient man.

Ive learned from the last 2 batches that Patience Is A VIRTUE.

And bagseeds dont make it any easier.
I jus keep an eye on those trichs every couple of days after week 6 or 7.
Last grow i jus got a little too anxious too soon.

Ive seen them at HomeDepot every time i go there.
Honestly they are expensive for such low wattage.

I STILL don't know what my bagseed's name was, but it took 90 something days I think, maybe more, I'd have to go look at my notes.
It's in my thread from last grow though.

Holy shit .

I just went and looked, it looks like only 76 days actually from first pistils, + 6 more from day of flip.
Not as bad as I remember, LOL.
