Howdy Doody!

Alright folks, first post on here but what I have here is the classic closet grow room setup, cheap and shabby. Ordered two seeds online, Strawberry Blue and Sweet Dwarf, about $30 for the lot. Started out with a couple 25 cfls on each exactly 46 days ago. I know both these flower in about 60-65 days so I want to make sure im on track. Flushed once mid grow. The Sweet Dwarf just started to flower about 5 days ago and have been watering with 1tbsp/gal molasses. The Strawberry Blue is just beginning to show pistils, do yall think this is because she's not getting enough light in the middle? Just wanted your guys advice, opinions, props, whatever.

Lights
5 bright white 6500k 25w each CFL at 8000 lumens.
2 soft white 2700k 25w each CFL at 3070 lumens.
2 bullshit Wal-Mart 'grow lights' 17w each at 2200 lumens.


Started out on an 18/6 light schedule and now I'm at a 24/0.


That adds up to a respectable 13,270 lumens and 209watts.

Soil
Some plain old Scotts organic potting soil, plus perlite, in 5gal pots.

Nutes
Fox Farms Big Bloom, yep thats it.

On the left Strawberry Blue and on the right Sweet Dwarf.

Turns out the strawberry is not actually an auto. Given the high hours of lighting with hardly any dark this thing is extremely bushy but looks very healthy. Once the dwarf is done I'll switch to 12/12 and flower this baby!

I think it's cause the photo has been getting 24hrs, no time to stretch. Idk about the sweet but her buds are looking tastier everyday! Thanks man.

Anyone have any ideas on some things to do in the last week or so of flowering? Flush maybe?

Day 56, a couple weeks into flowering today. Also just started some LST on the Strawberry Blue. It's looking very healthy.
