I don't think it does have preflowers yet, is that bad?

Hi all, just wondering if 32 days of vegging would be enough to start flowering. Unforeseen circumstance arose and In need to start flowering soon. Would this effect the yield. I only have 2 plants under 5 x 23 watt philips tornado cfl's and 1 par38 23 watt daylight bulb. They are about 6-8" in...

Down to 2 plants... Damn my temper. :wall:

Decided to put the cfl's back in with the par38 daylight bulb. I kinda thought the par38 wouldn't suffice by itself. I also topped the tallest plant. Took a photo but it won't show up for some reason. This is week 4 day 2.

Here's some pics from week 3 day 3 . Ok, bought a different bulb . It's a par38 Daylight cfl. It says 23 watt which I presume means it's about 100 watts. Should this be ok? Should I get another bulb as soon as I can?

Cheers Sworth, I think that is it.

Had to get rid of one as it was in a pot with another. 1 is definitely female, I used both feminized and regular seeds. I was working at the head store and got a few fem's. Obsession , I believe is feminized. Gonna post some more pics.

They on an 18/6 cycle, gonna have to do something about the bulbs though... Anybody know if I can use that par38 daylight bulb for vegging?

Hi everybody, just thought I'd formally introduce myself. I'm Irish ( not american Irish, actually from Ireland ) and at the moment I'm working on my first grow. So far I have had a lot of help from Sworth and Imchucky666 ( thanks again lads ). I guess ya can call me slip. Needles to say , I...

Ok so in Woodies I found ( in the exterior lighting section ) a par38 Daylight bulb. Would this be a suitable choice for vegging? They had a few other types ( infrared and a couple of others ) I didn't want to buy any without hearing from some of you guys first. Also re-potted the plant in...

Ha ha , don't worry, I understand that :-) Going to go down to Woodies now, I'll see if they have any bulbs more suitable to the vegging period.

I'm using 6 x 23 watt ( 97 watt ) Philips tornado Warm white C.f.l's. I just had a look at the box and it says it's 2700K , so that means I should be using these more for the flowering stage, right? If anybody has personal experience using these bulbs, I'd love to hear from ya. I might have to...

Ok so does that mean that there are some standard incandescent light bulbs that are suitable for flowering? If so would you have any idea which types? I have a fire glow red bulb ( 60 watt ) would that help with flowering or hinder it? Sorry for all these questions, I wont ask anything twice ! :)

Oh one other question I have is : Would these lights suffice for the flowering period? I know I have to change to a 12 / 12 cycle at some stage but do I also have to change the lights?

Here's how they are looking at the moment, any advice would be greatly appreciated

Threw it out, no good keeping it around. Have 6 lights on 4 plants now. One of them in particular is starting to show sign of leaf curling. I don't think it's down to over watering so that leaves excessive heat. I'v blocked off the window and left the wardrobe doors open for most of today...

UPDATE : Decided to get rid of one of the plants, down to four plants and four lights. Till tomorrow that is...

Bright as hell ! Going to buy 2 more tornado bulbs tomorrow, will be running on 6 bulbs then rather than 4. Any comments on how they are looking?

UPDATE : I found somebody who is willing to sell 4 x e27 y socket splitters, I will be collecting them later today , I also found a e27 male to female adapter, which will be pretty handy.
