U should probably add a couple more cfl's looks good tho
yea i wanted to put way more lights in but decided to see how well it went with just a couple lights. i was also able to play around wit the idea of reflectors and angles to put the lights, over all i think i prob learned more bout using all the light that is released from the bulb so when it comes to using more lights, ill know how to use them wit the maximum efficiency.

Peace:bigjoint:

yeah, you're real micro. i thought i was scraping the bottom of the power envelope, but your plants look real nice though
for soil, i'm using MG Organic Choice garden soil, with a bit of perlite, dolomite, and bone meal
i started my plants off in some organic soil mixed wit some perlit and then transplanted into 6 month feeding soil mixed wit peat moss.

i think you vegged plenty. for the lights you're using, that's plenty of plant/bud to bring to maturity

I agree with Growone. If you would have vegged any longer you would have probably needed some more lights. Everything looks really good man. Congrats on your success thus far. I'm also doing a CFL grow using LST. And if i remember correctly you said yours is 24 days into flowering? Mine are 26 so we're pretty much right on the same due date. haha. I'll be following along here for sure. Check out my thread. its in my sig. Happy growing buddy!

nice chunky bud, is this the main cola?
these are the colas on my bros plants at his place. weird thing is they were grown under 2 23 watt cfls, theres 9 plants all flowerin but those are the two best buds, they got stretched and werent low stress trained so they vary between 2-4 feet

yeah, i've got a similar situation, a bit less so, but similar
main cola is real chunky, the other buds less so, kind of the deal with cfl's
my plan is to harvest the main cola, then lower bulbs and ripen the smaller ones up
common harvest trick with cfl's

That's a clever idea. Pretty simple, but I've never thought about it. Thanks for putting that out there man. Haha.
