Default Cfl-Flowering week 3-4
These are between 3-4 weeks into flowering. I am using a mix of miracle grow/potting soil and CFL's. I've used some miracle grow flowering fertilizer since flowering along with every other time the molasses treatment. It's basically the same set up I had on my first grow except this time I am using a room with an open window for completely fresh air. The first grow I harvested over 2 o's from 1 plant in a closet. There was some yellowing leaves and issues that I think was from not having fresh air. The buds are fattening up daily and growth is great too. I FIMMED one of the 2 and it's going great.

Let me know what you think about this grow so far. I can't remember but I think the main cola's (4 from the fim'd plant) start to really get fattened up during the 2nd half of flowering. I used a battery powered magfinfing glass on the last grow so I don't know how long until the plants gives me the right looking trichs. It took betwen 10-12 weeks and that might be because of the cfl use or the genetics. This is just some good bag seeds and the last time I go with CFL's. Next time it's 400-600 watt hps/mh for me.

They are about 3 - 4 foot at this point. The ph is between 6-7 for the soil and I am using a ph/moisture/light meter from home depot I got on sale for $8 bucks. What a steal!!!
Ready for some feedback

tight work man, I'm in my seventh week of flowering and i've been using cfls only as well. Yeah I think the buds develop a little slower with cfls as opposed to an hps, but at three weeks you seem to be pretty much on schedule. To get the most out of your cfls get em right up on your plants. So long as your temp is under control your girls will thank you

Thank you all. I've been trying to keep the close but for some reason the leaves are turning brown when I get as close as I did on my first grow (about 2 inches). I had no problems then but these plants seem sensitive. My main thing was the bud size and I always like to reinforce my thoughts.....lol. I hope they start getting really fat and finish after 8 weeks because I am anxious.

The real surprise has been the size of the buds that aren't close to the light yet still have almost the same size as the top buds closer to the light. Maybe it's the natural air and love and attention I am giving these ladies.


The watering schedule when it's needed is in this order then repeated until I flush at the end. This seems to be working and I was curious if it's close to what others are doing/tried before.
"I always use distilled water for everything"

1) Regular distilled water
2) Miracle grow flowering fertilizer
3) Blackstrap mollases

I go in that order and then repeat the cycle. They haven't needed as much water as my previous grow but I am using a different soil set up. The soil is about 50/50 basic top soil with miracle grow soill mixed.
