hey guys
first off, the RIU community has been great and a wealth of information to me because indeed I am new to this although a veteran toker. I read a great deal of info on this site before I even attempted to grow. Here is my first grow. I have 2 100W daylight spectrum CFLS, 2 4ft floro tubes that will be used for when the plants gets taller, some nutes, 3 seeds from a bag and a fan. I know this sounds extremely amateur and bare, but we all have to start somewhere. The plants are about 2 weeks old. I planted three seeds from a bag of some nice heady bud. I know I shouldnt have planted them all in one pot, but I figured its my first time so what the hell its all a learning process. Past few days I started feedin em nutes including B.C grow supplemented with FloraMicro from GH and a drop of superthrive. Not sure of strain, although plants do appear to be growing more compactly and stout (indica dominant?) correct me if I am wrong Check out the pix below, lemme know how my plants are doing, are they doing good for 2 weeks of grow?, any suggestions, comments? all of you guys have been a great help. thanks -fingas

Moving your lights closer with help eliminate them from stretching, and will keep short distances between nodes. My plant im currently flowering literally only has about a 1/2 inch between nodes, and that sucker is bushy! One other thing i would keep in mind is that with having the lights that close, you still have to be careful about heat, although CFLs arent nearly as bad as HID for heat, they still do give off heat that can be sensitive to your tops. I would suggest keeping air flow passing between your top portion of the plant and the lights. Its been a plant saver for me.

thanks, i heard things about keeping the CFLS around 1 inch, but I also heard about keeping them higher up, so I didnt want to risk it by burning the plants earlier. If i flowered my plants SOG style, close to 1 ft, what do you think would be an approx yield per plant?..i know there are factors that come into this, but an estimate would help.
thanks

first get those plants in their own pots ASAP!! before roots become entangled, plants look good thou
also consider slowly getting more lights the 26w are pretty cheap and usually come in multi-packs

get party cups or even mountain dew bottles like MisterBombdiggitey.
its not so much the stunting of growth but if all the roots tangle together and one becomes a male your Eff'ed! you do too have plenty of room there for 4) 6" pots just get square ones! the sooner the better you'll be kicking yourself later if you dont

check it out by the way, i guess a combination of moving the lights closer adn the nutes (12-6- ![]() if i got 2 liter soda bottles and cut them in half, would I have to mask the bottle, ive heard that light is terrible for roots..mayb ill go out and jus drop the few bucks on a few small pots and btw yea i would say i have about that amount of space..its like a little square..plus i bid on an 150 w HPS with a luminark diamond reflector..currently 31$ +30 shipping, so I thought that was a pretty good deal
