Ed Rosenthals books help immensley. I think I' gonna harvest just the tippy tp tomorrow, and see what's up and get the bottom flowers more light. I'll have pics posted soon.

That sounds like a good plan. Harvest what is ripe and wait for the rest to ripen.

They just look so small though. I'm wondering, are these just groups of flowers and not really buds? The trichomes are milky to amber, but they are damn small. Should I wait more and let is go to the rejuvination stage and see if it buds up more? With a fluresent bulb, how long should it take for plants to bud up once the flowering stage starts?

Pics would help.

It sounds like your fine except for the lighting, which is probably the most important. How many watts is the floro your using?

Bro, I know I sound so novice to everyone here by sayin this, but I don't really know! Lol! I got the light with this single hydro bucket kit I ordered 2 years ago. I started to grow with it, but then I gave it up. A year later I decided organic would take less attention from me due to the fact I got kids and shit, lol! So in all that time I do not remember what it said the wattage is, lol! It's a hydro wholesale fluresent. It's all spirally and shit like the ones u get from wal-mart. I'm pretty sure it's the minimum required to keep a plant growin.

SAINTC · #16 10-05-2008, 10:09 AM

Yeah, that bulb looks great, but how much is it? I'm unemployed, lol!

You don't need to order more of them. You can get 26watt CFLs at Wal Mart for real cheap. If you want the 2700k spectrum, you can get them for under $1 each. If you want the 6500k for veg, you can get a 2 pack for like $7.

I use 8 26watt CFLs for veg, and a 130 cfm computer fan I got for under $10 shipped from ebay.

Dang, that's a good deal bro! I'm on my way to wal-mart right now!
