do whatever you want man i'm just saying thats not enough lumens for that many plants.

you guys talk about yourselves like women. i thought this was a bud forum? But to answer your question little man, sneakin around like that is bound to catch up with you like one day you'll fall asleep and forget about it. you yneed your own spot where they can be stable and just grow on their...

do less plants, get bigger buds and focus on quality more! get some nice buds

The fan you show at the top should be blowing out. An intake fan near the bottom brings in cool air and the top fan blows out hot. Good idea. Foil is bad for plants because it creates hot spots. mirrors are bad too because they have micro cracks you can't see, and they absorb 90% light...

when you started fertilizing did you start with half the recommended strength and work your way up to the full recommended strength solution? Sometimes going from none to full leaves behind excess salts in the grow medium and the salts block the roots from actually absorbing the nutrients. So...

Yeah it looks topped. Prune a few a everyday so more light can get in there. You don't really need a flat canopy at the top of the plant, just enough to cover the stems up and absorb some light. The bottom of the tree needs light too. Early on vegging, I used low stress test and actually tied...

sometimes that happens from salt buildup or lack of nutrients. pick up a cheap bottle of 7drop Shultz plant food. The NPK is 10-15-10, it's what I use. Started out half dosage then when my plant was thicker I upped it to the full recommended solution.

I'm no pro, but I believe you might have to get a 400 watt ballast, think if your ballast is pushing out 600 watts on a 400 watt bulb, pop goes the bulb.

Thanks you guys for your positive approach! i appreciate that. So i went to get another 40 watter today and they were out. shit. moved my lights today. posting photos tomorrow. the lights are now on the side walls, so my bulbs are facing horizontally. This gives the plant more bulb surface area...

by the way, the new 40W CFL was originally 17 dollars at meijer, on clearance for 2.70! I only had that much on me but will get another tomorrow I noticed they had 2 more!! yess I happen to have 1 ballast open too, waiting for it. Tomorrow I will get another 40, and not a beer!

picked up another CFL today. it puts out 2000 lumens by itself, totalling 9375 lumens for 1 short bushy female budder. I now have 5 CFLs total. (1) 26W Daylight, (2) soft 23W, (1) 32W Soft White, and (1) 40W soft white. The soft white are more in the red range of light than the daylight bulb...

i'll get the 32W's cuz my other ones are weaker. the difference in lumens is huge from 23w cfl to 32w cfl. if I had those tiny ballasts i would get more powerful cfl's but they don't sell them anywhere locally that I know of. ballasts or bulbs...?where?

Will definitely get 3 more! at least....

I counted over 30 Bud Sites where buds are coming in! I did a lot of pruning early on, so it is short and bushy, which allowed for many main bud sites on top, and even ones underneath are there but smaller. I should get more CFLs for my lower buds! Loving my first grow already so far. I want big...

4 cfls total. 1 is 32W warm, (2) 23W warm, and 1 26W cool.

check them out!!

More shots! Love it?

pics of 10 days flowering. from seed day 74. pics of 1 plant only from CFLs.

Thanks for the info about flowering times! that helps my perspective. I'm glad you like my first grow! when i get a microscope I'll post some more photos soon!

i know people say to harvest when about 75% hairs turn orange. but how long is a typical indoor flowering phase? I'm on like week 1 since I saw the first pistils. I know it's not ready yet. just wondering about how many weeks a flowering phase goes through....
