View attachment 4040142 Here's a update on how short and stocky she is becoming.
All I'm using at the moment is 4 cfls until I get my led in to put with it but I will say cfls seem to do the trick for a one plant grow, I know there are a few haters on cfls lol no seriously it's doing OK guys what y'all think

looks good in my view, see a couple of leave and maybe tips that might have gotten to close. Any chance you can spread out the cfl's your using, this will help in covering the plant itself with light. Looks good overall....keep it up

I'm definitely going to do that now thank you.
It is a bit close.
Have you been growing for a while now, I wanted to see if you might know about how much do you think I can get from a plant that size

Great to be working again brotha! I would use 4x 300 wall watt less. My guy was running about 20 5gal plants with 2 1000w hps but now does around 15 7 gal plants and will be using 4 600w hps lights instead of 2 1000w

Yeah no light pictures was on for 1 minute lol. Took 2 pics. Not the best ones . My babies are thirsty and the pots are really light. Gonna whip up a brew tonight and have the lady water em all tomorrow.
I don't remember what week they r on but I didn't start counting when I flippedbthe lights due to me topping all the nodes in 12 12 took about 16 days for pistils to appear. But from previously growing the Afghan I'd say shy of 3 weeks
All the other pics r in my broken phone. Didn't get to transfer em all to my SD cardIMG_20171108_184226.jpg IMG_20171108_184239.jpg

Looks pretty bushy to me for a plant that vegged under 4 cfl bulbs, good job!

Hopefully you'll get a few ounces off that, depends on the wattage.

Fuck it, going to transplant.

Not sure why it's already going through a half gallon every 2 days in november but the last thing i want to deal with in flower is daily waterings, i may just have a fast rooter... Idk

That's really what I'm hoping for, I don't want much but it's all trial and error.
I'll add that led with it and see what that makes and before harvest I'll make a video showing everything.
I see alot of questions on YouTube about will this cfls grow this or that, so I'll put some minds at ease to show you dont have to ball out to grow decent.
Thank you also for kind words, make me feel like I'm doing something.

And wattage is 23 equivalent to 100 so it puts off as much light as a 100 watter so times by 4 it's 400 watts equivalent so I should be in good shape.

Yeah, a half gallon of water saturates my mix in a #3 nursery including run-off.

Any more and it just pools in the pot unless i pour it out by tilting.

Its all good, i dropped her into a 7 just to be safe.

Maybe it's to do with moisture not enough in the grow room and it will suck it from your pots quicker than the plant can
