[Organic] Female Seeds Lemon Kush CFL grow

[Havek]

Hay guise. First timer here. Thought I'd try my hand at growing, its already fun. Its day 17 from seed on 18/6. I used the paper towel method to germinate, and started it in a 1l planter with black gold organic potting soil. At 14 days, I transplanted to a 3gal pot. I mixed in 4 tsp of Espoma plant tone. I plan on topping for 4 main colas. So far, I only have 2 42w 2700k cfls. I will soon be adding 2 more; one 2700k and one 6500k. So 168w total. I plan on using Alaska Morbloom for flowering, after vegging for 4-6 weeks. Here are pics of my setup and my plant thus far. Am I doinit rite guise? Comments encouraged

Day 24 - Growth has resumed, she's starting to bush out. There's no air conditioning in my house, and this week its supposed to reach 85 in here, at least for a few days. I hope she'll be alright.

Day 31. other than some heat stress and slight ph (maybe) problems, she's doing good. nodes are starting to alternate, and I decided to veg out until summer heat has passed. With a total of 90 days (give or take) vegging, my yield should be substantially larger.

Day 33... tragedy strikes. Growth is stunted, and my lady appears to have contracted the infamous "Tobacco Mosaic Virus".. god damn... I really wish I had washed my hands after all those times I rolled up a cigarette...

When do you think it's the right node to top?

it depends on how many main colas you're going for. I topped right above the second true node for 4 main colas.

Day 36. Not many changes to note, but due to the TMV, I've decided to go with my original plan of a 4-6 week veg. She's progressing, but very slowly. I've seen the growth I'd normally see overnight after 4-5 days. I'd like to rush this one to finish so I can sterilize my area/equipment and start one of my afghan kush beans.

Day 38 - She has regained her vigor. I pruned some leaves that werent getting any light, then I decided to tie her down due to space restrictions. Going to start flowering as soon as the growth in the middle shoots up.

No love for a noob?

Day 39. She's responding quite well to the LST.

Looks great bro. My Female Seeds Lemon Kush has the nicest structure in my veg room right now. Classic kush structure. I took 5 clones of her the other day to keep her around in case she turns out great. Keep the posts coming. Take care.

I ordered 4 seeds from Herbies for like $12, but my order is caught up in Chicago. Oh well in 21 days I'll get them to re-send. Looks great man, I'm a fan of the Kushes. Sorry to hear about the TMV, where I live it's actually a problem sometimes outside in the summer from all the damn tobacco farms around. I've smoked newports almost all my life, and it still pi$$es me off to no extent when it shows up outside on a plant somehow. Best of luck bro, keep her going she should be ok. Peace out.
