So i'm on a budget grow... :(

Right now I have 3 plants (1 female, 2 unknowns) under 6 X 23 watts CFLs. They are 6.5 weeks old. I only gave them water and love so far but it's clearly not enough lights anymore.

Should I ditch 1 or even both unknowns and buy some DynaGro foliage pro for the female plant? Or keep all 3 and buy more CFLs?

Yield is not too important as I don't smoke that much. I'm also concerned about the smell...

I would keep all 3 plants until the other two show gender...only kill if male or hermie

Dynagro are highly respected nutes...and cheap, so do buy some nutes

You should consider more lights when the budget can aford it.

BTW...what temp are your CFL's ....as you should use lots of 6500K in veg mode, and more 2700K for the flower cycle

In my opinion, regardless of whether you keep all 3 or not, You should get more lights....

I vegged an LA Confidential under 2(2x4foot) Lights of America shop lights from Walmart with amazing results. The lights were cool enough that i keep my plants less than an inch away

Try adding a cheap LED UFO. I found a 135 watt one on ebay was maybe $85. And keep all you CFL's for suppliment. 3 is a stretch for that light. 2 is better.

I would keep all three until the unknown plants show gender, and look at purchasing at least a t-5.
