1st Grow cfls

This is my first grow. My two larger babies are in the flower room and have been there 12 days. and vegged for 4 weeks. I am using 10-10-10 ferts. just increased the night from 12 to 14 to help with flowering.

I veg under a 2x4ft fluro 6500k 40 watt bulbs. vegging seems to keep up with the big boys a bit. tight nodes and good growth , 24/0 on veg BTW. The small one are about 3 weeks from seed.IM a bit worried a bout flowering tho.


I flower under a 2x4 2700k 40 watters. A HUGE cfl with 300 watt equivalent, it think it uses 60 or 90 actual watts. a 150 cfl think its use is 50-60 and a 60 watter all 2700k except forthe 60 watt.

Im on a low budget and would like to grow with cfls for electricity reasons, but may get a 150 watt hps next time round.

Im almost positive that adding another 2 hours to the night cycle will not help induce flowering, other than that they look like u have no problems in the light department.. just keep your flowering room at 12/12 though.:leaf:
 
Well I seen that the hormone that causes flowering is produced during the night and destroyed by light. So I cut 2 hour to help biuld it up. I'm about to get a hps soon. Thanks.
 
looks good man looks like you got a good start!

:peace:
Thanks man. I did alot of research b4 i started and I just took a biology class over the summer, so i felt comfortable but when i see em start budding i think it will b as awesome as when my son was born. thats not true but a close second.

check back ill be putting up new pic every week till the end.:bigjoint:
 
Ok so everything is goin good ,,,

but I have apparently over watered the taller one.
I hate that . Hopefully it will bounce back.
My next batch is looking good so if it does die ill just pop one of those in there.

Overwatering................... f'ing sucks
next time around im gonna buy a bag of perlite and do a 80 20 mix. 80% perlite . and set up a drip system. OW makes me angry.




Any quick fixes for over watering or just wait it out ?
I hvent seen anything other than removing the soil and lettin air dry . I dont wanna risk the roots bc my soil is sooooooo loose.

well peace i gonna play some nazi zombies and chill.:wall:
