Default First grow ever... Pics Included
This is my first grow ever. I would appreciate some suggestions or tips after reading my details and checking out my pics.
The plant is 7 weeks old and 22" tall. I was told it was Afghan from the guy who gave it to me. I am using Miracle grow potting soil and MG nutes during the veg stage. Only had two 100W equivalent CFL's during veg stage. Do you think the plant looks a bit streched?
I am now 5 days into flowering and added 2 150W eq CFL's to the side. All lights are 2700K. I also started using Schultz Bloom plus nutes with 10-54-10. Do you think those are to high of phosphate levels?
Now that I have the 2 side lights the leaves have started to turn downward. Is that just so they can recieve more light?
Do you think two 100W and two 150W eq CFL's is enough light to produce a decent amount of bud for this plant? Approximate yeild?
Thanks for your help.

I would say add 3 or 4 more of those bulbs to flower . but i have never tryed to flower with cfl's so i really dont know ....... but it just dont look like enough light to produce more than a few grams, maybe someone with more cfl experience will help you out. Good luck either way!
p.s. dont forget to flush those nutes out for at least a week prior to "pick" , those are very stong nutes so be careful! i would really recommend switching to all organic nutes, but thats just me..........but that shultz is very strong, so just go easy on her................and she does look like a "gani" too.

What I've learned here during the short time I've been here is that talking EQ wattages for CFL bulbs is pointless. Much better when talking in real CFL output. I'd say you have enough lights to get you through the whole lifestage of the plant. I started out with one 13W CFL (lmao I know) and the plant got pretty damn tall. I just started adding more lights during the flowering stage & it's got a pretty decent sized nug on the top. Check the pix out in my thread on the first page. You should be yielding more than I will since you have more lights than I did. I'll let you know how much I get off mine, should be ready to harvest in two-three weeks.

Default Updated Pics
I am now 21 days into flowering and have added 2 more cfl's. The plant is 28" tall. I have been switching up my fertilizers by using a flowering fert and molasses every other time.
This is my first grow and I cant believe how exciting it has been. I must look at it 3 times a day.

Yeah, I moved the lights away for the picture. I usually have it an inch or two from it. Thanks.

Default Possible Problems
I am now at day 30 of flowering and have noticed the hairs on the buds are turning a red color. I have been told it is an afghan strain, but he never said anything about red hairs. Is this something I should be worried about?
Also, my fan leaves are turning yellow and I have lost 4 in the last 10 days. I have heard yellow leaves are normal in the flowering stage, but does this seem like excessive?
Thanks for you input.
