why would u wanna flower those plants so damn small? yer not gonna get much yeild i would think especially since it looks like u only have about 130 watts on 3 plants, your equivalent doesnt count for much, the actual wattage is the thing you want to look for, if u have all those bulbs at 26 actual watts. from what i see is 5, thats only 130 watts
It seems to be working fine to me. Also there is a size factor and the yeild should be alright considering we can grow when ever

Low Wattz Grow Journal Update 8/26/09

Alright well good morning RIU. Today plans have changed for the better I think. Were going to start flowering today!
Reason for doing this while there so small is because space problems and we think it will be better for us.
Were going to start flowering with the bulbs we have till Friday. The plants are growing very nicely!

There colas's are looking great, Would Still Love some advise/commenting about the plants!

Here's some pictures

(Smallest)



(3 Leaved Plant) Look At Those:weed:



(Biggest Plant) Still A Little Stressed



(All 3 of Our Plants) They Look Amazing



(Biggest Plant) To Me It Looks Bushier Than The Others Maybe A Different Strain? But Then Again They All Look Different:-P

Looks real good man, how long did you wait to flower from seedling till you switched to 12/12 cuz im going to be flowering my plant earlier to do to space can only have it like 3 ft tall when harvest so ill prob be 12/12 it when it like 1 1/2 ft or 1 ft tall.

Looking good.
I always start 12/12 early with cfls.
Unless i'm topping or something.
I've flipped as soon as day 8 of veg and still got 3oz. dry from 2 plants.
You're right, they can grow like crazy
once you flip.
As long as your buds are getting good light, they should fatten up nicely.
This is where tying can come in handy, and not just lst. Moving a limb with a nice bud closer to a light may even open up space for a smaller bud underneath to put on weight.
I like small cfl grows. You can pay more attention to a few plants, and keep them well maintained, with less light(cfl-vs-hid)
and still produce some pretty good results.
I'll be waiting to see some 2ltr bottle colas.
Peace
