Alright I've been meaning to post for a while now. I'm a big fan of all yor guys work! Big and small. I'm just gonna throw out there where I'm at and I will be posting pic's this week.
Started on March 3rd and all seedlings were up on he 6th! I started with 8 but have narrowed it down to 4 solid specimens. Seeds are an unknown strain of kush but it is by far some of the best smoke I've seen in my area in sometime! Heres what I'm workin with: - 60" x 20" x 26" grow area constructed of sheathing 1" thick. Just something I had lying around. One side is white and the other is a reflective dimpled surface. I went w the reflective side in. By the way this stuff is very easy to work with. Insulates, reflective and very easy to make fitted cuts for hoses, fans or whatever you may need to run in and out. - Lighting I'm using 26w 5500k Cfl's X 4 - I just added 2 more 2700k today for the hell of it. -Lights are all within 2 inches w reflectors for now -I'll be switching them all to 2700k in the next week or two that is one of my questions. I was thinking of mixing a few 5500k in there as well? And when to switch to flower? I think I'm about there due to my space restrictions. -I will be adding a few more lights soon too I was thinking 10 total? -Soil is Fox Farm and I have just started feeding with Age Old Bloom since I am so close to flowering. -Just transplanted yesterday into 1gal containers Well thats what I'm working with. So far I have 4 super thick and bushy hopefully girls. They are between 5-7" tall. I was on 24 hours and just switched to 18/6 a few days ago with hopes to make em stretch just a bit. Like i said these (girls) are super bushy for thier heigth w lots of side branching. I think you al will be impressed with my progress with repect to my set-up once I get these pics up. I haven't seen many plants this thick and green on cfl grows! Let me know what you think. How soon would you flower? All comments and suggestions needed and welcomed! |

Sounding real good man, I wont comment on when to flower and all that as I am hardly qualified.
I have been telling alot of CFL growers about the 68w (300w Equivalent) CFLs at home depot though, I just cant help it theyre so great. Its about the size of a football and fits into the same socket that your smaller ones are in, and its only $15!! Its a 2700k bulb and would be PERFECT for you for flowering, I will have 2-3 hanging in between & above my hopefully 4 healthy ladies, with some 30w 2700k bulbs down the sides. When it comes to CFL, from what Ive seen the more the merrier, as long as you dont set your house on fire Good luck Ill stay tuned KB

Flowering depends on how tall ya want em wen yer done. From yer dimensions, I'll assume about 4' @ harvest is good fer ya? (The 60" was yer height, right?) So, ya most likely wanna flower @ about 2' in height.
I wud stay w/ the 2700K thru out. Almost evry1 disagrees w/me, yet mine is considered a damn good CFL grow by a few ppl: New CFL Grow. |

Shit forgot to give an update on everything I got so excited about getting the pics to upload! What a pain my computer sucks! Damn short term memory isn't serving me well either! LOL
Anyways here it is. I switched all the bulbs over to 2700k and added a few for a total of 10 26w cfls. Still feeding with Age Old Bloom but not in the past 5 days. I think I may have over done it the first few times? So back to it tomorrow maybe? I'm hoping I switched them over in time too? My tallest is 9" but 15" in the pot. That leaves me 11 more inches of grow height. Depending on how many females I end up with and hopefully thats all of them I was considering some LST? I've had much success with this outdoors for those monsters that like to poke their tops over the fence! Lol. Actually seems to yeild ALOT more from my experience? Thats it for now! I'll keep ya posted! Come on be lady's! Please! Tell me what you think? |

With the limited space you have, flower them now. The cfl's make nice short bushy plants while you're veggin but don't let that fool you, they'll take off when you flower. Triple in height if you dont top em, maybe more. I've got a similar setup w/42w & 26w 2700k doubled up in reflectors. Lot more room though, and it still gets cramped. I usally top right above the 4th node and leave 8 side shutes, it makes a nice bushy plant that will use the space well.
With any luck your plant will yeild about 1-2 oz.
