Just wait till the plant starts its 5th set of leaves and cut those off, that will give you a nice Y split at a low part of the plant.

Yup Yup. You can start topping really early if you want - like second or third node but it tends to retard growth for a longer period of time.
Yield:
The Pink Lady came in at 28.2g and the Tall Boy came in at 26.3g.
Total yield for my first set of plants is 151.6 grams (5.4 oz). Not to bad for miniature closet CFL grow - I only pulled .4 grams per watt but think that is more due to the # of plants I was confined to. Could have fit at least two more in there which would have boosted yield. Oh yeah - I pulled 10g from those silly 12/12 rooted clones - not really counting it towards the total though.

Very nice man, around 1oz per plant is worth props in any way shape or form!! You proved it can be done with CFLs and minimal cost, very impressive!
Question, was the 10g off the clones for all of them or per plant??
Either way, congrats on your success man, I hope to relish in the fruits of my own labor as well here in another 2.5 months, haha.
Peace

Thanks man. I pulled the clones really early due to finding a couple bannanas on two of them. The three largest plants had decent buds so I kept them - that's the 10g. The smaller plants I threw into my trim pile and will be going towards hash oil.
Thanks man. Definately enjoying the smoke. A couple of these are nutty - I take a big rip and hold it in and my eyes start to shut involuntarily. Pretty yummy stuff.

So I guess this is a continuous grow log now. Here's what I have going on - Several plants veging in the clone chamber. Waiting on the spider goo cutting to take root - this one should be amazing (taken of the plant I have out on the mountain).
Yesterday I added another bushy clone to the flower closet. Right now I have a really bushy plant in full flower - I think a clone of the pink lady but polyploid. I also have the tri-nodal plant that is frosting up very well - really wish I hadn't broken the tip off on accident. The plant i LSTed is looking great - several big tops developing. No pictures of the plant I have outside but it's doing well - smallish buds but they look dense as hell. Took some pics of my C02 system
The hooch is actually pretty good and surprisingly strong. I thought alchol content maxed out before going through a still much lower than this stuff. Cheers!
* My hooch is brown because I used molasses and brown sugar - not just drinking brown sludge.

Thanks man. You'll have results To rival mine I'm sure.
Thanks dude. Will do
Yeah...years at a boarding school and you'll drink anything brewed in a closet. This stuff is pretty tasty though, bud and hooch. Thanks for stopping by - I'll check out your grow in a sec.

Thanks man. Won't regret the CFLs, they are just so easy and effective.
Here is an update on the outdoor plant:
She looks like she might be going back into veg. we're hitting 14 hours light now and although she started to flower it appears as though she isn't going to finish. So I'm thinking this might actually be a good thing - because she started to bud and is reverting back to veg the node spacing should be really really tight and she'll have the entire season to grow. Lets just see if I can keep up with the watering durring the summer.
Threw in a couple pics of the wonderful San Fransisco fog. 2:30pm when the pics were taken and some parts of the mountain only has 15ft visability. At least it's watering my plant

Man that outdoor lady is a BEAST!! Was that 100% female or a hermie? Im trying to remember why you planted it outside without having to scroll through 25+ pages of your thread haha!!
Looks very sexy though

yeah...my thread got kinda long and diluted huh? I dunno what went wrong with this plant - either it showed nuts before and they are gone now or I just fucked up. I've looked pretty good and she seems to be 100% female. I didn't dig her a hole any bigger than the pot she was in but i think the soil where I planted is pretty good and I throw her some nutes every now and then so if she re-enters veg she should get pretty big. A beast she will be
Looks like she might turn pretty purple as well which should be a real sight - hopefully not drawing too much attention to her though.Really nice!
Can you put a box around her to keep her flowering?
Really nice looking plant though!
This plant is outdoors and trying to remain hidden - don't have time to cover/uncover everyday and might look alil fishy
Thanks for the comment though!

nice ass grow! you have pretty much the same set up I have going now, yet I only vegged for 6 days from seed.
I've grown with a 400w in the past, curious to see how they compare!

Thanks man. You have a link to your grow? How big do your plants end up with a 6 day veg? around the same height? I'm thinking I could probably cut it down after seeing RandyRockets 12/12 from seed grow.
Here are a couple pics of another batch of clones on its way to a buddies and my current favorite plant - the trinodal one that i accidentally topped. Fing trichy as hell.
