17.5g so we will call it 17 dry and as for flowering we gave it 8 weeks give or take a day or 2 and as far as nutes used some big bloom 4 caps to 2 and a half gallons of water and some molasses at the time I only had old grandmas and it says some bs about being unsulphered yet ive noticed that if the water sits for too long it kinda takes on this rotten egg smell anyways we did 2 months of vegg from seed mostly 18/6 the for flower 12/12 and most of the big fan leaves yellowed and fell off during flowering.


whats good about he ff big bloom nutes that you can use it during veg with the miracle grow an it will help if anything if you use it right remember less is more you might have to weaken the mixture tweak it for each strain is different.

cured it in a glass jar for 5 days aswell. I also have some guano with more p nute in it I dont remember if I added any to the water durin vegg this time but id try using some of that in the water but be carefull

one other thing is i could have gotten more if i had topped it a couple more times and maybe added some string across it all in all was pretty good for crappy basic soil would have prolly gotten an ounce dry if i had closed the light in on the plant sooner see what you wanna do is reflect and direct the light onto the plant.

The key is to not waste money and light. meaning if you say well i wanna get say 1lb a plant with cfl and you think that buying 40 cfl bulbs to try and outdo someone is gonna magicly do it you would be wasting money any amount of light you use you wanna make sure that all of it goes into the plant and not all over a big closet leaking out cracks and such.

use mylar or something colored white to reflect and you dont need say 12x12 of open space or closet for like say 2 plants even with mylar film you will mostlikey be wasting all that light it will take longer to direct back onto the plant which = less lumens going to the plant .

So what i do is i pickup a couple cheap car window shades you know the big ones to keep the sun out and ill place them above my lights going across you could find almost anything to use really but for 1$ in most places a shade is easy to hang and place.

keep as much light directed on on the plants as you can and even with 100w of actual cfl you could yeild alot more alot of people allow too much light leak and also for alot of ppl like me they allow too much heat even with a fan you start running 10 cfls in a house thats 70-75 in the winter your gonna have heat buildup forsure cfl can deff give off heat the 330ws of cfl was like running an 400w hps once the added reflectors where in had i left the closet wide open though alot of light would be lost and you would end up with maybe an 8th im guessing.

So keep in mind a reg fan might not be enough to cool the room off 4ft floros run alot cooler tube bulbs run cooler i plant to run hps along with side lighting cfls but i would use 65w 300w eq for the side lighting you get way more light compared 2 small ones i also plan to run a piece of hose coming from my a/c vent going into the room near the lights to some how help with the fan cool it down.

i also dident use string going across the plant in a checkered shape to help train it but i imagine i would have yeilded even more i plan to try that this time also plants dont seem to use as much nutes with cfls so they tend to burn easy as with mg soil it is already hot to begin with.

As far as with the cfl light placement and setup what i do is pickup a lamp cord set and you just screw the power cord into the socket screws then i take that socket and i screw in a light socket adapter with 2 outlets on the side which i then plug in a socket with 2 plug prongs int both side outlets so what you have is like a t shape then i place those around the plant

any more pictures of the bud? How early into flowering could you determine sex of the plant?
How were your lights set up?
