i am 4 weeks into flowering my skywalker plant. i am currently growing with cfls because this is my first grow and i decided to go the cheap way because i wanted to get a grow out of my system and i didnt want to invest alot of money on some good lights and me mess it up. but now that i am around a month or 2 away from being done with this harvest i will move on to a hps/mh grow =D, now back on track i am growing around 300 actual watts which is equvalant to over 1000 watts incandescent. i know what the bulbs are equivalent to doesnt really matter but i just wanted to make sure you guys didnt think i had 300 equivalent watts. while my plant was in the veg cycle i decided to lst. i veged her for around a month or so and then put her into flower here are some pics from day one when i got her as a clone up until now.

damn brother good job for a first time! good job on the lst too.not sure on yield its hard to tell because cfl's produce real airy buds usually.You will see how big of a difference once you start the mh/hps grow! :)

as above because youve done a cfl grow you will be able to see the huge difference a hps light makes, what size hps light you going to use? 600 are the dogs balls even compared to a 400, good luck, for yield i will guess 1oz, thats just a guess though.

yeah i am thinking about getting a 400 because i think a 600 would be to hard to control the temp, i am growing in a small 2x2x5 grow tent. my next grow i am thinking of doing 12/12 from seed.

Nice work my man! you said you should have started LST sooner, How soon?

i would have started to lst when my plant was around 6 inches instead of waiting till my plant was 1.5ft. i think it would have been better because my plant has a long stem until it reaches its first set of branches, if i would have started sooner i would have kept my plant shorter. it didnt really a huge difference because my plant isnt out growing my tent at all but atleast i know now for my next grow
