Hey guys, I don't know if any of you guys remember me from like 6 months ago but I tried to do an indoor cfl grow with turned out horribly wrong. It hermied and I just didn't use a timer or anything cause I was cheap.

Now I'm back again with something newer and better. I've gotten a better setup now. Currently I'm getting some hormones such as brassinolide, benzylaminopurine, and I haven't used the anti GA hormone I have as well. I'm currently in week 6 of vegetation.

I have it under 4x 26watt 6700K, and 1x 26watt 2700K and LST'd. It's on its way to being a semi-circular plant. It has 8 colas as of now and less than halfway done. I'll most likely hit the rest of it with anti GA to get more colas. I'll also hormonally prune it with a solution of BAP (foliage feeding), and regularly feed it the brassinolide to promote stronger stems and such.

The strain is ak-48.

I will have pics within a couple days to show you guys the progress.

Sounds good! I'd probably try to add more light.

Those are pics of the LST up to week 6.

I've also switched my lighting to 6x 23w cfl's. For flowering I'll probably go with 6x 23w 2700K and 2x 23w 6700K

I've also noticed that the new growth is growing with dark brown spots on them... along with some leaves with a subtle shade of yellow.

It's now almost 10 weeks into vegetation. I'm going to give it one last spray of the brassinolide before I swap and add more lights and flower.

I'm thinking about picking up 4x 42w cfl's in addition to maybe another 6 or 8x 23w cfls. I'll have 4x 42w and 2x 23w on the top over the plant and 3 23watts on 2 sides of the plant for hopefully more coverage.

What do you guys think I should do and do you think this is enough for flowering? I also want to know that even with the LST, will the plant still grow 2-3 fold over the flowering? This is the first time I've tried to LST and was wondering so I could rebuild the light fixtures to accomodate.

I also have some molasses and MG BloomBooster again for flowering. I'll also do a foliar spray of 6-benzylaminopurine 3 weeks into flowering. Hopefully it'll finish in the 6 weeks time I read on the strain description from nirvana.

Dude lst doesnt slow growth at all it just makes it grow out instead of up...you still will get it doublin or triplin in size

So, anyways, I've been flowering for a week now, and little white swirly pistils are coming from the preflowers. Well, of course it'd be female, they're feminized seeds! Haha . Now, getting on, I've noticed that on parts of the plant, there have been extra brances and nodes coming out, which means the benzylaminopurine is working nicely to prune itself. I only wish I had used it from the start of the grow instead of just towards the end.

Also, in the last picture, there's like 6 colas that just won't grow up. They're all from the hormonal pruning I'm assuming because theres only 3 nodes there and they're coming from the same fan leaf. I just want them to grow upward instead of just sitting there. I let it try to grow for about 2 weeks and it just doesn't want to come up, but the top of the ORIGINAL cola is growing up quite fine, just not the ones before it.

Right now it's officially on 4x 42 watt 2700K bulbs and 2x 23 watt 6700K bulbs. If my math's right (I'm pretty high right now), then it should be 214watts total. I do have the option for another 2 bulbs, but it's not going over the plant, but over the plant and to the side because my lights are on a board over the plant. I also added in a piece of sheet metal to the left side of the closet to try to reflect light back instead of into the closet's abyss.

More pics will come when my effin BB uploads them lol, it's taking forever.

Woot, the updated pics are here. I finally figured out how to add them as attachments too
