I have 3 plants now, that I vegged 8 weeks and are in the 6th week of Flowering, will be 7 weeks Saturday. Look at my pics in GROW ROOM Setups, under R for Roseman. I am getting so excited, this is my 3rd grow and will be my biggest harvest. When do you plan to harvest?
Good Luck man..

Thanks a lot. Yeah, whenever I harvest and dry I'll weigh...I'm hoping between 1.5-2 oz. Anybody have a good idea how much longer. Checking the trichs today, but as of 5 or 6 days ago they were still mostly clear and cloudy, not many amber.

Haha, thanks fellas. Yeah, I went a little overboard with the CFL's...found some on eBay for 20 of them for like 15 bucks, so it was a steal. I am using I think 11 26w and a 42w CFL. Using the hell out of those Y-sockets, so I'll have two bulbs connected to another that's connected to another...haha I'll put up some pics on my ghetto ass set up. I figured as long as they didn't burn and it didn't get too hot it couldn't be anything but good. I think I'm gonna come across a MH/HPS combo for free and soon to be moving out of the apartment, hopefully get a trailor or something in the country to have some privacy.

Looking to order some good seeds off of the Net, cuz who knows what I could have done with decent weed. The stuff I was using was just some mids I got for 30 a quarter, got bored and wanted to see if I could sprout them, and then 3 months later, here I am.

Well, if anyone says CFLs don't or can't burn ur plants, WRONG! After a combination of leaving my fan going all night and drying out the plants, a good flushing, and no checking on the plans for 3 days, my plants had several several burnt tips of leaves. I hope it doesn't affect the buds. Still plenty of green, though. Post soon.

Here's a few pics of my girls. As mentioned before, they got some heat/light stress over a weekend I was gone. Buds look fine, but a few of the tips of the leaves were burnt towards the top parts of the plants. Looking to harvest one tomorrow, and the other next week. Trichs are mostly cloudy with a few clear and a few amber, so I think it's right at the perfect combo for me.

Man, you have a grow to be very proud of, and now is a very crucial time.
Let me make a few suggestions if you have not harvested yet.
1, consider flushing for a few days at least, 5 to 7 is best, but 3 or 4 will make a difference. FLUSHING is flooding them with clean water with no food ro nutes in it.
2, consider 48 hrs of solid darkness before harvesting to increase the trichs and potency.
I have part cloudy and partly amber now, about the color of MILLER LITE beer and I am waiting til Saturday, I almost did it wednesday and thrusday I saw much more ambers.
Please look at my pics here:

good luck with your harvest, man.

Thanks a lot man. First grow, made a lot of mistakes, but I just kept it to the basics and with some TLC I got these. I Flushed the pots about a week ago and been feeding them straight water every other day like normal since. I was planning on harvesting one of them tomorrow morning, but I just feel like there's gotta be something I need to do before I cut them. I'll try putting the one I was planning on harvesting tomorrow in darkness until maybe Sunday night at the latest. Time restraints, gotta have them cut and out by Tuesday at the latest. The otherr plants doesn't seem quite as mature, so hopefully this one will react to the darkness. One plants is about 3 days older than he other, so maybe this will explain one having more red hairs and cloudy trichs than the other. I'll keep posted.

Oh Yeah, should I water them before I harvest or keep them dry?

You are looking really nice there sleepy.

I am growing an identical grow.
Your first pics that you posted reminded me of my girls.

I have 4 females.
3 are flowering and 1 is going to be a clone mother.

I have been flowering for almost 3 weeks.
I am also using midgrade seed and cfl's.

I am not sure If I missed it but what wattage and color cfl's are you using?
Your buds look really promissing.
Great job man.

11 26 watt 2700K CFLs no reflectors because some of them are kinda in between the plants so I have light going in all directions. I also have a big 42 watt 2700K CFL in an adjustable lamp that I shine on the lower buds then alternate to the main cola everyday.

Ok you giving me some good vibes here about these cfl's.

I have 6 x 42 watt cfl's on my 3 female plants.
I also have 3 x 21" 15 watt grow lights on the sides.

I was thinking of amping up my light a little more.
As it is I have 297 actual watts on these 3 plants.
Looks like you have about 328 watts going on.

Either way I am impressed.
