Hello I'm back once again during the beggining of actually flowering with my plant.
Some of the leaves looks burnt or dead, but thats because they keep growing into the lights and then i end up having to adjust again and again, but they stopped going up taller finally I think now that they're in flowering.
These females are all around 2 feet tall.
Only 1 of them seem to be making the best flowering growth as you noticed, so hopefully the other 2 will get going also.
I know it might look like I might need more light, but before that.. I need more room, because this box is getting cramped and I really doubt that I can fit anything else in there.

But yeah just a few more weeks to go and I'll be showing harvest pics!:mrgreen:

You need about 4 more cfl's in that and you do have room for them or you can get two 1 foot mini fluorescent tubles and hook them to the sides of the box. Also with any type of fluorescents you want to have them as close to the plants as possible without touching. I also would suggest you line the walls of that box with foil or mylar sheets you will get alot faster and better growth because you are waisting alot of light right now without andything to reflect the light thats not hitting the plants onto them.

thanks for the advice man, I'd put foil in there, but before when i used it, alot of people were telling me that it just builds up heat instead of reflecting light. but i'll still try to do something about the reflection dude. and yeah great idea for the fluorescent tubes, I'll have to go look for those and then install them in there.

People say that about foil because they put the shiny side facing the plants you are suppose to use the dull side reflecting the light back towards the plants or it will heat it up alot.

i'm estimating about 38 days vegging so a little over a month and i've been flowering since the 9th of this month, and i'm pretty happy with it compared to my last grow lol. i'm hoping to get like 2-4 ounces on harvest time which i think might be sometime next month
