:leaf::leaf: Thanks guys. Ill have to check that out Norcal. You can really tell she is enjoying all the light shes getting. I can't wait to add the extra T5's and im gunna get a couple more treats as well. Bud sites are starting to pop up like crazy so i can't wait to take pic's when the lights come back on. For now they are still on strictly H20. :leaf::leaf:

Hey DR just got my 400hps and have my first plant under her. last night was her first night. She has been in 12/12 for 18 days I was wondering How long before bud foration starts taking place?

PPP's look good. Really good smoke too you won't be diapointed.

:leaf::leaf: Depending on the strain it could start forming bud sites at anytime and depending on indica/sativa dominance. But i would definatly say you should be seeing something very soon if you havent already. I can't wait to smoke the PPP. :leaf::leaf:

I have white hairs all over the plant just wonder how long before the start to thicken up.
:leaf::leaf: Well once pistils/calyx start forming it usually takes around 2 or 3 weeks for the bud sites to gain any density. The more light you have the quicker it will happen. Im probably never going to flower exclusively with CFL's again. I have found that a mixture of Hps, Tubular and Compact Fluorescent is definately the best way to go. It's nice having such diverse spectrums of light. :leaf::leaf:

Hey dr. chron what do you p.h. your water to? I'm a new grower could use some help check my grow please.

peace and love:bigjoint:
:leaf::leaf: Right now buddy im not testing the pH because they are just being fed H20 and Fox Farm Big Bloom. The BB doesnt change the pH enough to make me want to do anything, but normally if im using the FF Grow Big and the Tiger Bloom i would pH it to about 6.5. This week im going to start her on Bloom nutes at 1/8th strength and ill see how it goes from there.

Hey DR. C! Great looking grow! From reading your journal it sounds like you are having a better experience flowering with the HPS and cfl's? What kind of difference are you noticing? I was going to do a complete cfl grow but am thinking about getting a 400hps for my tent which is 2x4x5. Any pointers?

Thanks!

WHY WIll you never flower with exclusively cfls again? im doing it and my plants are twice your size on my first grow ever.. i think its about tlc more then lights, its just ppl who use cfls usually are inexperienced and dont care for there plants much, thts why the results arnt that great..

:leaf::leaf: Because the benefits of hps are too great to ignore. This grow turned to shit after i burned the plant. I still use CFL's its just dumb to to pick and choose when you can have the best of both worlds. :leaf::leaf:

:leaf::leaf: Well im having a better experience over all because im not fucking these plants up. I burn the shit out of the last one but at least i learned alot. But the thing is i didnt burn it till 2 or 3 weeks into 12/12. Point is i really am glad that i added the hps because iv seen more progress just in these first two weeks then when i flowered with just CFL's. Im gunna stick with the Hid/Fluorescent combo. :leaf::leaf:

very nice man!!! the big waitin jus begun
:leaf::leaf: Yeah i know it sucks too think about it but its gunna be worth it. :leaf::leaf:

Excellent! I hope my ladies look as good as yours! I am only about a week into flowering.
:leaf::leaf: Sounds good im gunna have to check it out. Im really impressed with the PPP so far. Very easy strain to grow with low maintenance. I still haven't fed either of them nutes and they look beautiful. :leaf::leaf:
