    Default LST Blueberry CFL grow!!2weeks Flower!First grow! Lot of pictures!

    What up RIU, this is my first grow, just got around to starting a thread for it. Germinated 7 seeds and planted them on 9 Dec. Started flowering on 5 Jan. Little over 2 weeks now. I had about a 4 or 5 day period where there was no growth due to pH issues, stopped using tap and started using reverse osmosis bottled water, never had a problem since. I have 4 plants left, 2 are confirmed females, other is unknown and the fourth is doing good with a friend (unknown sex). Finished my second or third lst today. I have about 6cfls going right now, I have no idea what the ratings are. I knew at one point but I dont remember anymore. Been through 2 temp grow boxes, just moved into my official cabinet today. Check it out...(pictures are in chronological order)
    If there is anything I learned from this grow its that BB is a pain in the dick to grow, had a good first 3 weeks in veg then the 4th week I had some issues I had to work out with pH (was unable to test). Their in MG potting soil with part Happy frog (shit fucking smells) . Used mg nutes for veg. I give 140mL of reverse osmosis water every morning and 140mL of 1/2 str tiger bloom every 3 days and they seem to be taking it very well actually.

    Male sadly

    Female with a little burn


    Left two were males, far right ended up female


    Same as above


    I was pretty upset this turned out male


    Old temp grow box






    Both front ones were male


    Male before I murdered the shit out of it


    Same 3 as above






    Metal cabinet I nabbed from work


    Nicknamed it BB for big bitch, it grew to this point pretty fast then it was shocked for a couple days (pH issue)


    Lsted today


    Lsted again today


    The only female from the group of 3 right before I transplanted


    The new Set up, don't mind the duck tape for now




    More lst shots from today


    Bigbitch got lsted again

    Hopefully, I'll probably end up buying a grow tent if I they end up outgrowing the cabinet. But hopefully the lst wont allow them to get too tall

    Nice little grow you've got there, Stokez! I had one plant going under one 20watt floro tube a couple summers ago and my set up was very similar to yours. Closet with a cardboard panel for the door! Oh, memories! Haha! Definitely gonna follow up on this thread as I'm planning a pretty small topping/LST grow this spring. Keep it up! Subscribed

    Woke up this morning and went to check to see how the transplant went on the one plant. It seem to take it very well, lots of new growth on the stem and its already bent back straight to the light. I'll post pictures later this evening after its had its full day of light.

    Just a friendly tip:

    If growing with CFL's you want to have at least 3-4 lights PER plant...or else your going to get scraggly little buds that'll shrink into nothing. Remember...you need to have at least 75W per plant...125-150 is best...but not absolute.

    Flouro tubes are still better to grow with then CFL's are, as they cover alot more space with light then a CFL can, and it's not that much more on your electricity bill. Using the right colour spectrum also helps plants to flourish. For vegetation stage i used 7 5000k, and 3 3000k lights, and for bloom i used 5 5000k and 5 3000k. Your trics will be in plenty using those spectrums...tried...tested, and true.

    Also if your using the CFL's remember to turn them about 2-4 times a day so the plant's under growth doesn't lack light.
