    I'm just starting up a single to-be 5-gallon pot plant (Super Lemon Haze), and I plan on having at least 300 W on the one plant. You seem have gotten an awesome plant there... Any tips on what you did with your grow? How long did you veg that for? Did you cut out any undergrowth for better light penetration?

    Thanks!

    I will use hps next time cuz I think the yeild will be higher.but I think you need at least 400 watts hps to get enough lumens out of it.with the cfl's you can keep the lights 1 1/2-2" from the plant.

    We kept the lights down close to the plant 1-2" away.we also did side lighting to help get light to mid-lower buds.vegged for 8 weeks.plants were 17-18" tall.We didnt cut undergrowth.we only pulled off dead leaves that didnt fall off on their own.be careful if you do that.you can stress it and make it turn hermie

    Thanks Kamgrow,That sounds like it will work good.gotta love some old bud seeds.Ive got some b.c. seeds from a friend that some are 20 yrs. old got a bunch to germinate already.

    Thanks to everyone for the gratitude.I'll keep updating with info.

    Hold a pepsi bottle up to the nug for pic comparison

    I see what you mean though. you would have got more penetrationm with a HPS. But i'm still fan of a nice cfl grow. always good for additional light during flowering

    Ya to anyone who says cfls are bunk then f u c k y o u.this is a prime example of what 30$ worth of light bulbs can do.my 70 watt hps can be kept within 3 inches of the plant which is awsome.the cfls can pretty much touch the dam plant and are great for side lighting as well as top.your gro is awsome and fuck the haters man u gettin high for praticly nuthin with no hidro bill.ne one that doubts this should watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6NGvDLtPCw this is a pro t5 setup so fuck y'all

    Thanks 4 the rep again userfriendly Im very impressed with how well the cfl's did.this is our 1st grow and Im sold.Like worm said these plants have very good genetics,which helps alot.we think its northern light strain.with a possible mix with something else.nl and big bud is what it looks the most like at different growing stages.

    Wow I guess you like the cfl's huh LOL I love that you can keep the light right down on them.those t-5's are badass in that video.I was already lookin into them.there kinda pricey.I missed out on a used 4 bulb one with veg and flower bulbs for $120 on ebay.Damn. The regular ones work great though. 6500 k for veg and 2700 k for flower

    of the 8-10 lower small buds on this plant they weighed around 90 grams wet(trimmed down) we will dry til were at 70% weight loss,then into jars for sweating.we are drying in paper bags instead of hanging cuz our low humidity here drys to fast.Its working much better.This gal has a fruity(almost grapefruit smell with a skunkiness to it.Very smooth smoke with a high choking effect.It will expand the shit out of your lungs.good one hitter smoke.
