Good plan. I like that idea. 5 weeks veg. You'll have a nice big plant. Those leaves are super big. Looks like a pretty big pot too.

Environment is everything. Having a ph tester (they are cheap from Aquarium supply stores) and a thermometer/hydrometer (again cheap from many places) is very important. Know your temps, know your RH, know your ph going in and coming out. There is more to know but for now that should be enough...

Answer this question. Look at a few grow logs where the fan leaves yellow as flowering progresses. In late flower for example it is perfectly normal to see fan leaves yellowing as the plant uses up its resources for the buds. As the leaves yellow and die remove them. To not do so would...

Who said anything about 6500k's making a plant go back into veg? I asked the OP whether he wanted the plant to re veg. Plus saying light spectrum does not matter is absolutely terrible advice. Masking that by distorting other responses is equally unhelpful. 6500k's are best for veg and...

Not really recommended or even close to ideal though is it or no one would use 2700k's would they?

Won't that container heat up like an oven when the lights are on? Keep an eye on temps, especially towards the end of the your light cycle. Please let us know if the temps stay down as you add CFL's. To answer your original question with CFL's i find the best $ to lumen ratio is using 26w...

in such a case you could try lollipopping next time. With CFL's they do not seem to penetrate far so letting the plant save it's energy for the uppermost buds seems to make sense. I did mine this grow and the plants really took off soon afterwards.

You can have 2700k's during veg at a ratio of 2:1 in favour of the 6500k's. You can have 6500k's in flower at a ration of 3:1 in favour of the 2700k's. I'd not mess with any other spectrum unless that is all you have available. Please be careful about putting too many veg spectrum lights on...

At this stage you don't need so many lights but the above posters advice on spectrum is right on. How many liters is 'a few'? Just be sure to keep the lights close and the temps within a good range for now and as long as your soil is not too 'hot' you'll be fine.

Hi Map. Nice post and your plant looks fine. In your shoes with an unknown bagseed I'd have a different set of concerns. Recently I had a similar situation. I had one unknown bagseed and no back up. My main concern - IS IT FEMALE? Since you have limited space already I'd change the bulbs to...

Unless you are trying to get your plants to go into flower at this early stage lose the CFL's. Go to the store and buy 6500k bright white CFL bulbs. If you are trying to get the plant to go into flower then lose the 3500k and keep only 2700k bulbs on them. Mirror = bad

A picture would help a lot

Hi Tomiie. Was just wondering what happened with the smoke as the cure progressed? I find that a min of 3 week cure before the real taste/smell/effects come out on some strains.

Sorry I do not use perlite. I use coco chips at about the same ratio. The drainage is amazing in coco. Once you get going with it you'll see how good a medium it is to grow in.

The way I see it is you have 3 choices. Bin them now. Play with them for 1 month then bin them before moving into hostile territory or put them into flower right now with the intention of chopping them for hash/concentrates if they are far enough along when it is time to move. I'd not move...

Looking at that pic the first thing that jumps out at me is you need more CFL's but you already know that. :leaf: Coco is great to grow in. Just make sure it has been flushed and properly ph'ed to no higher than 6 before repotting.

If you want a chance of attaining your deadline get them into 12/12 NOW and get the CFL's as close as you can to every top. The more lights the better. Keep the lights close and try to surround them with light Have no idea what strain you are growing so the deadline is somewhat unrealistic...

Nice to see another 12/12 from seed grow using CFL's progressing smoothly.

6500k's are better for vegging indoors. 64 degrees is a little cold for seedlings. 70-85 range works better.

I'd be cautious and check regularly the underside for burns. Also i like your set up. Very clean.
