My first plant ended up being a male. So I tried again; and to me she came out okay but with it being my second grow I am not sure. I am concerned as she has been flowering for about 2 and half weeks.Someone told me with cfls you get popcorn buds. Do I have popcorn buds. Are there any suggestion.
2nd grow but first time flowering. Am i getting popcorn buds.

fa sho, some spots look like they could be. how many diff plants are there? I saw two plants I think that look like fat colas. Did you top them late?
There is one branch of another plant that I started at the same time. It is in one photo only. Other then that it is all one plant. I started this plant in a Rubbermaid set up with 6 cfls and unfortunately it did leave much room to grow the plant so i had to learn to lst. i think i lst the plant all wrong but it was so tall i didnt want to break stem.
Can I add more CFL's or would it not really help.

Jam as many cfl's as you can in there short of setting your house on fire.

as long as you can control the temp, add a shit load lol. id add some on the sides of the plants.. to penetrate lower.
I have a dedicate closet for the plant. i am using a standard box fan to control temps in the day. i have 6 cfls hanging down around the plant. they are all at varying heights but no more then two inches from the top. then i have a vertical strip with 3 cfls running from top to bottom and and horizontal set of three.

Looks fine for two and 1/2 weeks using floros. Just try to get them as close as you can.

I would suggest buying light fixture splitters and doubling your lighting potential, add an occilating fan for more air movement/temp control and finishing out your grow. A few of your pics show the leaflets starting to cup slightly which is an indicator of a stressor (I'm not willing to guess what it is yet) but otherwise your looking good.
My first grow was using CFLs and while I thought I was happy with what I produced, it turns out that a cheap 250w MH/HPS light has tripled my production. last run with CFLs I got roughly 2 ounces off 3 plants (only used 6 lights) in a grow box.
This round I can already see that I have that much and more growing on the one plant and it's only 4 weeks into flower.
While I will always like CFLs for vegetative growth I am now a permanent HID in flower grower.

Vegging with Metal Hallide will result in a stronger, larger plant structure prior to flowering, resulting in a stronger flower period... resulting in more buds.

Hey Lord, I have a MH bulb for my HID set up, it's a MH/HPS switchable. I still use my box without the HID because of space, light shielding and convenience.
