I am still sooo impressed with budsforless...I just ordered my 1st dvd for 15 lbs in 80 days and can't wait till it gets here....I am hoping it is as detailed as the book budsforless..when I start the growing process I wanna do and get everything right the first time and not have to upgrade and spend more on supplies later...lookin into solor power as well to handle my babies when we lose electricity and to keep the bill way down...

Hi HI

I like to wait until day 14 of FLOWERING to clone...

yes DAY 14 of FLOWERING...

This is not standard protocol or wisdom from most growers... BUT it will be soon... especially when dealing with CFL growing and EARLY flowering of small healthy plants..

BY day 14 of flowering the plant has usually tripled in size (we are talking about a small 4-6 node plant) and developed several low branches that make great clones... These branches will have 2-4 nodes .. great for cloning and yet, they are so low on the plant that they can not produce any significant bud... (because of inadequate light)

At 14 days, the plants CLONES will not be so far along in flowering and should root easily in 2-10 days....

CRAP just a few min too late. we just took 3 clones, they're little, but well see what they do.

looks great.... I recommend covering them with a plastic container.... keep the humidity HIGH. Lift the container once or twice a day for 5-10 minutes..

Or even better, use wilt spray...

cheers

I didn't know this book was about growing with cfl's. It kind of turns me away but it would be cool to see 8 oz pulled from the grow..

Those moss pelets (or whatever you call them) work great. I used to use the grodan cubes and liked them but the expandable moss is better. Faster rooting for me at least.. Good luck man you got a good start it looks..

Has anyone applied Solar power to an inside grow? I would be and I'm sure others would find it an interesting topic for some good

how is this one lookin, i got it under 300w of cfls (about 7) and 200w of fluoro tubes. i was wonderin if anyone know what kind (looks like sativa) and how much longer i should wait to flower (they got like 4 nodes already i think) i was thinkin about a week longer. any tips on the set up would be nice
