1St Successful Grow! CFL's/closet

Why I left my baby to veg for another month or 2...bigger plants make more bud =)

You're plants look great though! I love seeing other babies exactly the same age as mine. (to the day, lol)

Good luck with the superthrive!

lol yea aint it grea, gives you an "idea" of what to look forward too, MY operation 12/12 from seed is in effect , just put 8 more geminated seeds in the dirt, in the same room with my remaining 3, soon to be remaining two in sure, MY BEST looking plant i fear is a male, TONS of small round shaped clucsters with baby leaves forming but no hairs, im still gonna give it time, but DAMN over $150 invested, started with 12 babies, now im down to 1 def female, 1 "maybe" , and a male ( i thik but still unsure) not to mention all the time invested for 1 dam female... ohh well it was an experiment to see if i couls grow a ladt and i have, i guess i can say mission accomplished, i just need to toss these dam cfl's, there too hot and i need to many for my grow, i have 12 setup now, and that was a KILLER task to accomplish, I imagine after 7 more weeks of flowering, i MAY be able to harvest a 1/2 oz tops off this 1 small lady, but it will be my 1st harvest, and IF IF IF everything goes to plan, ill be smoking my own GROWN buds on new yrs eve!!!!!!!!!, kick in a new yr the rite way, ill keps ya'll posted on the flowering and the 12/12 from seed experiment, more pics included and be sure to view the gallery, some much much better pics in there

Hey, my last tally was about $150 invested...1 female here... lol.. that's why I'm waiting growing her then cloning her ass. LOL.

As far as the cfls being too hot. Seriously? Right now I've got 6 42 watt cfls set up over my baby and no heat problems- when I'm tending to Kiki and I have the move the fan it gets a little hot but with the fan no prob- do you have your fan blowing directly onto the plants and lights? Maybe because you have the smaller watt lights, you need a ton more..

I dunno, I went with cfls because of having a small area and the heat problems I'd have with an hps or mh system...

Any updated pix? =)

i guess i was lucky i invested like $350 and i got 4 females first try. there in 2 weeks flower, this is also my first grow. should be done be new years woot.

UPDATES today is day 43 for my 2 flowering plants 1 female 1 hermie .. the female is 28 inches, the hermie 24. they seem to be doing good, clipped off some huge fan leave to allow more light to penetrate. a bit shocking but the hermie's buds look so much better than the females.....also i have 7 seedlings under a 4 ft flouro fixture..i decided not to do a 12/12 from seed grow, after 7 days under 12/12 from seed they looked extremly sad, so i got 2 4 ft fixtures 32w X 2 bulbs 4100k , they appear to be doing well, all pics are in the galery be sure to check em out...----------------420

Hey man make sure the CFL's aren't to far away from your babies or they'll strech to much! 3-4 inches with the fans on at the sane time! I got 3 1/4 oz. from 6 plants from one of my grows! keep up the good work! and mind their temperature!

Wow your plants has grown and are looking nice and healthy, I visited your gallery and viewed the 43 day flowering pics, seems to me that there should be more bud growth than that at 43 days, could be because of the size and strain I guess? I'm also using cfls to flower, something like 48000 lumens worth, I'm 36 days into flowering and have all kinds of bud growth, if interested check it out using the link bellow,

Could you possibly get a close up of this hermie? I would like to see what it's looking like as I may have one myself, also does the herms spread through all flowering plants or do they stick to the one?

Keep up the good work!
