My CFL grow

Here is my plant.
She's been flowering for quite some time now, dont remember the exact day I switched to 12/12 though.
I planted her August, 14th.

She is some bagseed. It seems some people in this section kind of have no idea on how to grow/nurture a cannabis plant... Kind of disappointed.

I use 4 26watt 2700k CFL's.
She is also getting ambient light from 2 6500k CFL's I use for my mushrooms.

Yes, as a matter of fact I do. Its from a grow log from last year, so it's not very recent, but it's still the same.

This is my third grow.
All my last plants were males and this is my first female.
I'm not trying to go for yield, my main goal is to have a healthy female cannabis plant.

After I harvest this (not expecting much, maybe an oz?) I am investing into a grow tent.
This one to be exact http://htgsupply.com/Product-Grow-Tent---Size-S-22-x-36-x-63---Silver-Lined.asp .
Probably going to stick with CFL's but if I dont I'm going to go with a 150w HID lighting system.

Thank's Bwpz, you're doing extremely good yourself man!
I'll definitely be making a grow log when I get my tent set up, until then, I'll upload pictures randomly to this thread :p

Hi Blackhash I used to have my lights with my first cabinet set up like this for my first grow exactly the same with 4 2700k screwed into the side of the cabinet like that. I did not have the best results it was ok but very small yield, mind you it was my first ever grow so that would have played a part too. Nonetheless I got a bigger cabinet and used 8 26 watt 2700k cfls this time round and made it so I could lower my lights to the plant and raise or lower every lamp above and around the plant and not take the plant away from the light as it gets bigger (like I did too using dvd cases to adjust height.) This way I can keep the bottom half of the plant cool by having the cool air circulating underneath promoting very strong branches and a much sturdier plant. By keeping the roots and underside of the plant cool you can have your temps higher up on the plant in the 28- 30c temp range no problem. My first plant is crap compared to this new way of doing it.

Hope this can be of some help.

Thanks mutton.
I already have an idea on what I am doing, which is probably a 150w HID system (MH/HPS) inside a grow tent, I might go with a cab though.
My main thing is to get a harvest, I don't care on the amount, I just want to know I can do it, then I can tweak my design up and get the perfect one for my condition.
