Hey guys first post here. Ive always used the refrence guides and everything else here seems like some knowledgeable dudes.

Anyways, How am I doin?
1 month veg
3 weeks into flower (currently)
used:
2 200 watt 6400K CFL for veg
2 200 watt 2700K CFL Currently
4' 40 watt flouro tubes (shop lights) vertically in the corners.

I think I missed an important date with the trimmers so any comments on that appreciated.

First timer here so any knowledge you wanna ooz on what to render is greatly appreciated.

their looking good for the amount of light being used.....your really not using 200 watters bro....their 65 watts which are equivalent to 200 incandescant watts.....I would buy a few more of those at least , maybe 4 or five more.....the more lightiing the better.....you will increase your yeild tremendously if you add some more cfls......start feeding them molasses now to...molasses is made from suger cain...it wont interfere with what your feeding them or anything.....give them 2 tlbs. per gallon everytime you give them water.....it will fatten your buds up.....looking real good for the lighting your useing but thats not enough if you want a reasonable amount of smoke....get some more lights bro....

No Sir those are 200 watt consumption 850 watt incadescent equivalents.
At least thats what this link says they are same as ones here: http://www.greenelectricalsupply.com/200-watt-cfl-retrofit-120v-warm-white.aspx

I think they are sweet but they are huge a little over 14" long and its kind of hard to disperse the light well for my setup but I was too cheap to get a reflector and the heineken kegs are gold plated inside lol.

Thank you for your tip on the molasses will do.

i would cut everything off the bottom 1/3 of those plants. they wont produce anything and will only suck resources from top of plant. otherwise they look really good!!

Awesome. Thanks Captn thats what I wanted to hear I was just scrrd cause of the time into flowering,

Captain79 I see people make the mistake on forums all the time. No issue. Yea if your into flouros I figure them to be about the biggest around took me forever to find 2700k style but the 6400K 200watt are fairly easy to find I got those from hydrofarm.

IDK I wish I had more grows under my belt or at least had seen some live setups to see what HPS turns out like.

I went flouro bc it seems as though I can get 12000 lumens within an inch of the plant and have absolultly no heat problems double that with a second light thats 24k lumen (minus loss from 1" distance lol) right off the top colas. Seems to average close to what the smaller HPS lamp charts show by the time you have the light 15" off the tops. Anyways, seemed like it all made newbie sense to me lol.

Lol Yea IDK Im pretty happy so far with the looks of it. I guess I got lucky being bagseed and all. I just want huge colas like some of the masters one here have. Then again isnt that every1s goal. lol... I may just have to learn how to put up on my sig. thanks for the +!

Yeh,always cut off the lower weak stems,let the plant focus on the main buds,it also lets air move down there.
