I am 1 week 4 days into flowering.

For veg I used 2 42watt 2 23watt 6400k CFLs.
Used rootzone throughout the veg after transplanting. I veged for 5 weeks @ 16/8

Transplanted from a red solo cup to a 10 gallon pot at 2 weeks.

Started LST at 3 weeks trimmed a few fan leaves. At 4 weeks I trimmed some more bigger fan leaves from blocking nodes.

Currently have 10 23watt 2 42watt 2700k CFLs for flowering. Using pure blend for soil. 1-4-5 current mix is 25ml/gallon.

Cut off all the lower nodes and leaves a week and 1 day into flower.

My soil is some rich soil I found with sand and some rocks mixed in the bottom, with some pre mixed soil I bought from the store that has slow release in it

Looks good, I have found cfls work poorly for flower but I had 450 watts split between six plants. Hope you get more weight than I did. Just a lot of work to get a half oz out of a plant which probably would have been three times as much with hps and a ballast. Your baby isn't having to share that light so maybe you will get more...

Last plant had 256watt and had pH lvl issues. And it was my first and I got 30g dry. It was horrible looking lol. This one is looking amazing. Think I'm going to add in about 100w more within a week. For a total of 420ish watts

3rd week of flowering.
flower week 3.jpgflower week 3a.jpg20130909_210625.jpg

my main cola is taking off and is towering over the rest. i was debating on giving it a slight bend, so it wouldn't be so much taller then the rest. or just leaving it, which would force me to change my lights around.
also my younger leaves look droopy, as in the last pic will show what i mean. i water every 3-4 days, the lower leaves are just fine and don't droop. they are dark green and look healthy
at the moment i have 11 23 watts 2700k and 2 42 watt 2700k cfls. for about 330watts total.

Well honestly I think its a little under watered. Haven't really uped the waterings much since flower. The tips are starting to get yellowish brown.

So I gave it about 2 cups. =] and called it a beautiful plant.

so im at 4 weeks 3 days and hardly any crystals showing. wondering if maybe to much heat got to it at one point?, cuz there has been a few times my lady shut to door and it got up to 95 ;( but only maybe 3-4 times thats
happen. Or maybe its just going to be a 8-11week harvest?

so i am at 5 weeks in flower as of today. growth has stopped and resin crystals are finally starting to appear. 371 CFL watts, all 2700k. the buds are taking off and starting to knot up, and have high hopes of good nugs on harvest!

20130923_220410.jpg this node has two buds forming in one. what happen was a CFL actually, fell over and burnt the top. it didn't grow for a week or so, and noticed this just last night.

6th week flower. A very simple picture. My brother is actually plant sitting for me. Me and my lady went to a jack Johnson concert in Nashville, Tennessee.

I'm thinking 2 more weeks maybe 3. All depends on trichomes!!

a little update: yellowing leaves are accruing which i know isn't nothing major just N from budding. But i still think i have a few weeks left so im going to give her a little dose of N next watering, just so i don't get so much yellowing on the fan leaves. (flower week6 day5) 47 days of flower.
