Default 1st Grow 425w of CFL!!! (Actual Wattage)

6/4

The two main plants are now 22 days old. As I said before they are starting to fill in with side growth very rapidly even though they are short as is. The Shorter plant is unreal, it is so short that the majority of its leaves are either touching the soil or near it giving it a "droopy effect" even though I suspect it to be 100% healthy. Even the youngin is developing side shoots and that kinda suprised me.

I suspect this may be a result of my nute reg. I am using 1/2 tbsp Earth Juice Grow, 1 tbsp Blackstrap Molasses and 1 mL Super Thrive per gallon water.

I really wish these plants would get a little taller though. If they were maybe 4" taller I could better make use of all of my CFLs. I havent seen anything written about it but does anyone know a way to coax your plant to get a lil height to it? It would be very beneficial for the plant and my grow space.

Anyways to the pics!



This is the plant that has the "droopy effect"



This one seems to have taken the lead for now. The taller of the two.


Kinda hard to see in the pic but everything between my finger the the lowest set of leaves is new side growth


The Young One

just to let you know, you are wasting electricity big time, get rid of the cfls, spend 50 bucks and get a 150 hps to flower, trust me it is well worth it

3 Plants and I cannot do HID because of heat. Not only heat of lamp but heat of where I live. I expect 110+ weather next 4 months.

you dont know what you are talking about, why would you want to use over 400w when you could get better buds form a 150w hps, hps is much more efficient and easier to work with...
