hey majic...i just posted my thread about a first cfl grow and was going to use the same title...changed it at the last minute, but when I refreshed the page and saw your post, i was a bit confused. :-)

your plant looks great! she puts my little girl to shame, but she's been through hell and back.

peace :leaf:

Oh my gosh, how bushy and balanced! Really, that is beautiful. Would you mind showing a pic of your light setup? I am attempting my first go at CFL (or any grow besides that one time in high school, but my cat ate it off the windowsill) and would love to absorb (I know lame joke) all of your experience.

You have just encouraged me GREATLY. THANK YOU for sharing, and I cannot WAIT to apply all I've learned in such a short time to my next grow.

I added another CFL which now gives me a total of 161 watts. I repositioned the black clip-on lights to emit light onto the lower portion of the plant. I also move the lights daily to try and give all branches an equal amount of light.

Any experts care to chime in and tell me if this should give me a good yield? If not, what should I change?

It appears the branch stems are purple on the top but green on the bottom. Not sure what that means...?
I am now on day 61 (day 37 since I flipped the lights to 12/12). Here are the latest pictures...

your set man the key to a big plant is a big pot=BIG yeildsnice check your temps and maybe add a cfl or 2 but for 151 watts that looks goood!

Yeah that sounds about right. She sprouted on 2/27 and I put her into flowering on 3/19. It is Northern Lights x Skunk #1

A lot of the hairs have been changing to a burnt orange color. I've also been eyeing the trichomes and I believe I have found several that are cloudy. I went ahead and flushed her yesterday in the bathtub. I think I am going to use molasses for the rest of the grow as I have heard lots of good stuff about it. Here's a couple pictures after I flushed her. Day 44 flowering.
