Talking CFL Wrap Around
Hey yall, I'm nearing the end of my Flowering period. Since I wont be growing much longer I thought I'de try and get my last few grows just right and maybe share some knowledge I've accumulated.

lighting,
a 130 watt 2700k (enhanced red spectrum)
a 42 watt 2700k
a 26 watt 6700k UVB reptile bulb

Grown in soil, with organic and chemical fertilizers, pesticides and molasses is also is being used.

I'd really appreciate hearing from all you advanced CFL growers out there, especially those using minimal watts, yet achieving larger high quality nugs.
peace

Ya if you can use natural daylight, you're set. I also have another chamber in front of my window it use 2 x 42 watts and 2 x26 watts, which turn on in the morning just so I can controle the light cycle, then at about 3pm I just turn em off and open the windows. You get way more powerful light, and it's free, at that point your getting free bud. What a wonderful world.

Presently I'm only using bat guano and molasses, does anyone know if it's okay to continue to use these right up untill harvest?

well nobody answered me, and it appears one of my plants is suffering from nute burn at about week 7. It's strange how two other plants show no ill effect what so ever, and they have all had the same treatment. Even the nute burned/ or maybe heat stressed plant still looks like it will produce about 1oz once dried. I would post some picture if anybody would be interested in helping identify this problem. All the fan leaves are either turning,"limp and black," or have already died out, with large fan leaves turning yellow and brown from the tips moving towards the nugs I'm worried I should harvest once the "infected part" looks like it will reach the buds. The plants are only a few days away from their 8 week quota, but I would like to give them just a few extra days if possible. Any idea of what this could be, it started at the very tips of the fan leaves and slowly moved down the leaf. From what I've read it seems like it could; be lock-out, over-watering, mites, heat stress.

Thanks, I should just enjoy the fact they do look pretty nice. I'm just a little confused why my prized plant of the 3, has decided to show some distress just before week 8 of flowering. At least The cycle has almost completed and I lost little if any yield at all from this. I think budding is part of the plant getting ready to die anyway, so some negative sign should be expected, maybe the plant simply gave all it had to give and decided to start dying.

Default Problem, help please.
Hey yall, I'm Just Days Away From Harvest. Everything for the most part looks good, although you'll notice from these pictures that the centre plant's fan leaves are having some trouble. This plant is slightly younger than the three so i'm inclined to leave it in a bit longer, bringing it's total to 8 weeks 5 days, but as you see it'd starting to die from the tips inward. Now I'm gussing this is either root lock-out or over-watering. I don't know enough to tell the difference, please help me identify this problem.

I water once every two days, or once soil is dry, I've been using only bat poo 0,1-8-0, and molasses switching back and forth from one watering to the next. So they get a Guano tea about every 5 days. I'm doing this right up until the end because nobody's has told me not to. I figure, since I dont use chemicals, it makes no sense to flush. Now my heat hovers around 92 degrees, I know it's kinda high but overall plants seem alright with the heat.

So I'm just wondering what's bothering my one plant? It may just be a freak thing because the other plants seem completely healthy. The noticible thing to me is the leaf tips becoming black, at first they feel really soft not crispy. There's nothing wrong with the vein of the leaf, it simply wilts from the outside in, and eventually falls off. In the photos, the top leafs look crispy which makes me think they are stressed from being only 2 inches away from a 42 watt light it's top. But again other plants are fine, any insight would be sweet.

Try raising that light a couple of inches. Also, see if you can lower the temp.

It's possible it could be nute deficient.
