Starten Flowering Pics Inside

Hello, So i just finished maken my cabinet light tight and made a diy filter for the exhaust. hope it works. Took out all the 6500 and 5500 cfls and added the 2700 150watt equivalent CFLS to the grow box. When the lights go off tonight at 11pm they will be staying off for the next 36 hours to start there flowering stages. both appear to me females so far. that might change we will see. sry for the crap pictures i picked some option on the camera and i cant get rida it.
the plant on the left moisture meter reads barely moist. so i might water her before her lights out. there 9-10 weeks old at this point no nutes fed to her besides the MG auto nutes. i did pick up a thing of Schultz Plant food Plus its 10-15-10. i was thinking about giving a small dose to the one i water tonight see how she likes it. I think There MG nutes are running out.

Comments Are welcome Plus Rep.

the 2700 cfls really gives the leaves a rich nice green color to them.

any comments?

anyone think they look ready to flower? there just under 2 ft tall atm. how tall should i expect them to get as i go threw flowering?

no ones got any ideas or comments.. im wondering how they are liken there 36 hours of dark right now. i put a blanket over the cabinet just in case its not completely light tight. normaly its dark cycle would be at night and the room its in doenst get any light in it in its self. so the towel is just extra steps

you could start to flower now, expect themto get bigger as they flower, that space looks a bit small.

oh nd dont water it before lights out, water it with the lights on in the morning, thats when it will feed the most.

and why are you gonna leave the lights off for 36 hrs? usually you go to a 12/12 cycle to start the flowering.

I think its because its good to give them a nice 24 hrs of complete darkness before switching to 12/12...
I would def flower now...I dont think you'll have enough space in that set up you got there though

do some lst get more cfls and yes flower you should have flowerd a long time ago with the light you have available man. i would have tried to scrog those if i was you. def. do some training and add more light for sure

I had 4 100 watt equivlent 6500s in there to start with now im usen 4 150 watt 2700's so i did up the lights ALOT. Yeah reason i didnt start flowering sooner was i wanted to work alot of there problems out first. and now they seem to be fairly healthy

Once i have under growth big enough to LST i plan to tie some branchs here and there. but really all i have are massive Fan leafs with little under growth. but sense i added the lights on the side that under growth has really jump started

I do have a 3rd plant that i call my LST bush. these 2 i wanted to try just strait out no lst or anything. you know first time and all. every plant is a experiment of its own. gotta have at least 1 grow of each type.

600 watts of 2700 cfl yes
. in the idea of experimenting i also put each plant in differant soil and each seed was germinated in a differant way. 5 plants in total gave 1 to a friend and girlfriend killed the other one some how..

this is the cabinet there in. they are sitting on the floor inside that. so i dont have another 6 feet but i got at least another 4 feet

Nice little cfl grow you got man reminds me of something I did back in the day! I would say your good to start flowering, they look pretty good bro

Hey! My dad just told me he still has a bunch of seeds from the 70's, and that it might still be possible to germinate them..I need some expert advice here...If it is indeed possible to grow seeds from 30+ year ago strain, I think I am going to make a documentary about it..What are you thoughts?

Yeah flower now!

well today is there first actualy day of 12/12 they just had there 36 hours of dark. to bad im leaven for 4 days and they all be all by there lonesome with no one to care for them or make adjustments if something awful happens. hope they strive. along with my 4 clones i put into my tote yesterday. kinda expecting them to wilt and die... but idk i was shocked to see them perking up this am. only after 1 night of being cut and put into tote.

I did how ever give these 2 plants 1/4 strength nutes in there water this morning for there first time. of Schults 10-15-10. idk if that was a good idea or not. i guess in 4 days we will see if they are destroyed from nute burn or not. I was getting the impression from my plants that the MG nutes where just about gone
