cfl grow through and through

I started with 4 plants and got 2 females.

We never gave the plants nutes or anything which i regret because they couldve produced bigger buds, but none the less they are growing fine.

A short episode of burning occured in the leaves which i quickly remedied with epsom salt but i feel that nutrient deficiencies may still be present within the plant.

anyway we are along about 1 month of solid growing, i didnt exactly keep track of how old these babies are but i do know we only vegged for 2 weeks and theyve been in flower for about 2 to 3 weeks.

Im not terribly concerned about a massive harvest, i feel im lucky to get 2 females, they are bagseed but so what, they are unpollinated and that is what i am going for.

I would like to grow lots more bushes but i just dont have all that light to cover them.

well enough talking about them, here they are

They're looking good. How much light you have them under? and have you looked into a microsog, Dr.BudGreenGenes Style? http://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?p=1658433&postcount=1
That is what I'm looking into - achieving at least 1 gpw, possibly 2. Anyway, great job man! Keep her chugging along - maybe, since you haven't been fertilizing, you could look up some organic nutes. I heard of some people blending up eggs, eggshells, bananans, etc, and watering with that. You should add some molasses to your watering too. It's like 2 bucks for a jar that will probably last you a very long time.

Well i would definitely like to have more light, as a matter of fact i make it my personal mission to double the amount of lights i have for my next grow(and also my plants)

right now i have 3 23 watt 2700k and 1 42 watt 2700 you cant see the other two lights at the top in my pics but theyre there. when i vegged i used 4 26 watt 6500K bulbs.

but you know, i dont care what anyone says, i like what cfls do. and besides i dont live in a house per se so i do have heat issues to worry about, i cant have my trailer burnin down while im sleepin lol...

I really hope to achieve a decent harvest, for myself, im not looking for massive quantities. Im really hoping i get a good half oz out of this, if its a little less thats ok too. just means next grow i need to start out with like 5 or 6 of those beasts cause something always happens to atleast 1 or 2 of them.

microsog huh...sounds interesting i will look into it.

and if someone could help me out i have a quick question:

a long time ago i bought these cheap ass nutes from wally-world lol. NPK levels are 10-52-10 i havent used these nutes cause im afraid of the 52, thats a pretty far off number and i didnt want to possibly lock out any other nutrients. as for molasses i have heard that works wonders, 1 tbsp per gallon right?

also im a little skeptical as to the procedure of feeding my plants nutes or anything.

once i mix up the juice correctly, i need someones opinion here haha, is it better to just water the plants like i regularly do or to get a spray bottle and mist the leaves. and also what intervals should i feed the plants? certainly not every time i water right? im a fuckin newb so im trying to do my best but i dont want to burn up my plants ya know so far ive been relying on nutrients that are slow released in the soil

any help is appreciated.



happy growing!!

misting can result in disaster, some do it but the rewards seem mighty small for the risk
for feeding, many seem to feed at every other watering, much depends on soil, pot size, etc.
