    Grow and flower with CFL

    In that size space it might be a good idea to try 12/12 from seed.

    It is finally over. My least fave part of growing. The chop, trim and hang. I tend to trim as thoroughly as I can stand to before hanging so I don't have to spend another day trimmed after dry. Trimmed from the top down cos I want to reveg this plant. Took each branch individually and trimmed...

    My all T5 closet grow, 2nd grow

    Nice! Plants look excellent if a little unruly! I'd say they are prime for a scrog. Get them all the same level then you can get those T5's nice and close to the budsites to improve your yield. Think of getting some T5 lighting to back up my CFL's here. Can you have them touching the bare bulb...

    300w Dual 8u CFL for both veg & bloom?

    With CFL's more are always better. IMHO. Their light imprint is such that if used like a HPS they do not penetrate far enough. That is unless far enough happens to be 4 inches or less from all/most of your major budsites. I like using a mixture of bulbs myself. Use 23w, 45w and 65w (real...

    12/12 from seed using CFL's. NLxBig Bud and many many others!

    Pulled a whole bunch more fan leaves off the MD tonight. In some places the bigger fan leaves get stuck in the buds, wither and die. The stem of the leaf remains alive and attatched to the stalk. I can see now why this plant is vulnerable to bud rot in late flower. Have to be vigilant about...

    harvest/cure plan. please critique

    Thank you brother. No idea about how many watts. The rule I follow with CFL's is that as long as you can control heat and airflow you can never have too many. Don't know about yield yet. She was grown 12/12 from seed so was not expecting much. However I really liked the way the plant grew so...

    harvest/cure plan. please critique

    I will chop just before lights are due to come on in a couple of days. Here is my plan. The plan is to reveg the plant so I will chop top down branch by branch. I'll remove larger fan/sugar leaves at this point. Then I will hang the branches from coathangers in a wardrobe with the door ajar...

    close to flush time. Have been steadily trimming off the fan leaves bit by bit this week as they have begun to look tired and unhealthy. Should allow the form of the plant to show through a little more. pics: Looking to chop just before lights on in 2 days once she is all dried out from...

    max utilization of a smallish space.

    So I have a 2 x 2 x 5 tent in which to grow. Non negotiable. I am using CFL's as the tent is too small for HPS. I am growing in coco which is again non negiotable. How can I get the most out of this space? Some part of me is saying vertical growing could be the answer. What do you think?

    8 Strains ...

    Excellent thread. Pics are top notch. Really interests me as I'm about to chop some Moby Dick and have OG Kush in paper towel as well as Blueberry Gum and Venano in my seed tin! If your MD turns out anything like mine you will be in for a treat. The smell is so nice as the plant gets resinous.

    12/12 from seed using CFL's. NLxBig Bud and many many others!

    more pics. checked trich's yesterday. Some clear some cloudy and some amber. I think chop at the end of the flush week should be perfect. Will end up being a 10 week flower.

    CFLs and Molasses

    I will be growing coco next time with molasses every other watering. I think it might help with cal/mag issues that can crop up when using the LUCAS/KISS formula which will be the other watering. I too am using CFL's and think that good yields are possible with CFL's. Hoping my current CFL 12/12...

    So end of week 9 flower and we are flushing with 1tsp per gallon molasses and nothing else. Did 5-6 gallons through her yesterday. Will do the same tomorrow or next day then let her dry out and chop. Been a great plant to grow. Going to re veg for future clones in case she is a great smoke too...

    Recent pic of my baby. Right now it is still drinking a lot of water loaded with nutes. I'm checking tric's ever 2-3 days and still mostly clear. Not started flushing yet. Going to flush with molasses water through it next week to start the one week flush process. I'd like to let it get over...

    Well done Marty. You stuck it through and produced some good weed. A fine 1st indoor effort. Great journal too. I'll be chopping my baby within a week or 2 so am planning my next grow now. Looking to stay CFL but go coco. How about yourself?
