Today starts week 6 into flowering. I'm pretty happy so far with the CFL's, I didn't think I could grow shit with these but I was willing to give it a try and it has been working. The fisrt two pics are of the indica, and the last two are of the sativa. What do you guys think?

Thanks jomal, I've been having some problems with spidermites. I hate those little bastards! I hope I can take them another 3-4 weeks at least..I've been using dish soap to wipe the leaves with, but there still there.

If there to infested to wash away with a cloth use a dish soap spray mister instead and spray all over and especially underneath the leaves leave for about an hour and then wash with a cloth.

If you do this every day for a week and raise the humidity a little bit and if you can increase your fans speed this should either get rid of them or keep their numbers so low that they wont affect your yield to much:blsmoke:

Thanks Tahoe. It's all worth the wait when I hear things like that. I can't wait for the plant in the first pic to be done.

I'll post some more pics tomorrow.

your plants look pretty good, I have read the entirety of your thread, and I only have 1 question. What is your light inventory, I know you are using cfl's but which ones? I am planning my grow room and I am thinking that for the space I have a bunch of cfl's should do the trick, especially if I get buds like that. keep up the good work man i can't wait to see the final product.

Thanks WB. I am using a balast/reflector that I picked up from our local pet store. It houses 3 bulbs (which sit sideways, I hear this maximizes light penetration). Also I have 2 more CFL's hanging between the plants w/o reflectors, and a floro tube mounted sideways on the wall of the grow space. Below are the specs for my lights:

5 CFL's - 2700K / 42 watt / 2150 lumen CFL's
1 floro 24" - 2700k 24 inch floro - 20 watts / 1350 lumens

For a grand total of 230 watts and just over 12,000 lumens. For such a small amount of lumen output the plants are growing pretty good. I can't wait to see the final product either....
