Updates are coming soon! She is getting super frosty, I feel like she is gonna break herself CIA she's so heavy. Does this happen often? How can I fix it if I need to?

sounds good, let us see some pictures of that lady man :)

About the branches, maybe you can hold them with a string or something ?

Day 38, starting to get more and more frosty. The branches are starting to sag because of the weight..which is a good thing. The leaves are turning yellowish but thats only on the top buds. Nutrients have been cut and starting to flush it.

PS Sorry for the sideways pictures

They look very similar to one of my grows. Under t-8 & t-12 Flouro tubes. You got some pretty funky colors happening on the greenery there. I think there is an issue.

To be honest I was far happier when I switched over to a couple cheap ass 150 watt HPS from the Flouros. Far denser buds, color was better, I think the HPS lighting even helped with nutrient uptake or something. I burned the hell out of them before but with the HPS they seemed to handle far more nutrients.

Take a look at a comparason shot.

First two are HPS second two are Flouro's


Forgot to mention First 2 are Bubbalicious from Nirvana & the other 2 are N.L. #5 from local seed bank.

they are deficient of something. worst time to let them get sick also this is when yield kicks in. give light feeding of macro micro nutes


EDIT: nm didnt know u were flushing already. enjoy ur resinfree smokes xD

id like to use hps but i cant really afford them now. these cfls have actually produced dense buds! they are very solid. i think it is because i have cut the nutriants but im not sure

Dude seriously, I don't have allot of personal experience but it sounds like you haven't ever let any of your buds finish before harvesting, everything looks pretty damn good here. I'm seeing plenty of frost even if the pics ain't the best quality, keep on truckin CH!

If you look at the big box stores. You can buy a security style (black box type thing) 150 watt HPS for about $75.00. That's what I'm using & they work GREAT.

I found with the flouro grow, the buds dried up & shriveled to almost nothing :( Was sad really. Still good smoke, but a 500 ml jar full didnt even weigh in at an oz when it was dry. Fuck.. not even a 1/4 oz by weight.

From my own experience, i wouldn't grow again unless I had at least the 150 watt HPS for flowering. The flouros are great for veg, but you really need the power of the HID lights to get hard, dense & stay that way buds.

:) Good luck though... Any bud is good bud (almost anyways) :)

Hey I didnt notice before.. there are dates on the photos. Look at the last 2. One is the 4th of November & the other is the 15th. WOW.. look at the growth! That's funny. Never noticed that before.
