so your only using 7 Cfl's in total? 1 plant?

Yeah... I got three big ass 2700k lights surronding the plant and two smaller 2700k lights hitting the underside of the plant... I kept two of the 6500K lights shining on it from the top as well to create the dual spectrum.:blsmoke:

I figured it was growing so well because it was only one plant under all those lights.

You should take a few small cuttings before she goes into full bloom

How could I do that? Wouldn't it harm the plant I am growing now?

Could I take a cutting from it and start it on 12/12 (Practically right next to the plant I have now, or do I have to start the cutting another way? Do I use rooting gel, or really, how should I go about doing any of this "taking a cutting" stuff?
------------------
Today is day 19 of flowering, but the pictures that I am posting here are from day 16 (July, 7) of flower... I'll update them tomorrow with current day pictures.

The plants leaves are starting to yellow at the bottom, but I believe this is a natural process, since it is using all the energy stored in the leaves to produce the buds. I am so excited!!

I know that I'm certainly not going to need a chain saw to cut my plant down... I just saw a picture posted by "MyGirls", where the stalk was as round as a 20oz Pepsi! Holy shit!

Well, it is day 20 of flowering... The leaves on the bottom of the plant are starting to yellow and shrivel up and fall off. Some of the upper leaves have purple showing up on them... I don't know if it's normal or a difficiency. Hopefully, it's okay. I'm not too worried about it. The picture with the thermometer is what the plant has been at it's whole cycle.

If there is any info you have about the purpling or bottom leaves yellowing, I'd appreciate it.

I hate to rain on your parade Fen but your plant will lose ALL of it's leaves in a week or 2. You will then have a hard time finishing it. Don't scream at me now, just thank me later.

I wish I had seen this thread when it was started but you probably would not have believed me anyway because everyone else is saying its fine.

I noticed the leaves on the first pics posted right away. They were too much on the light green side. I also noticed that the main fan leaves were losing color rapidly as the plant grew more flowers. This means the plant is using ALL of its' stored food and is looking for more to help the buds grow bigger.

Some people here have told you to put some nutes in it but you did not listen. I think you may have a chance to keep the leaves alive but you are running out of time. All the leaves will fall off quickly now. It starts slow from the bottom up. This is happening to your plant wayyyyyy too soon.

Curse at me now and call me an idiot but I stand by my words. No leaves in 2 weeks. They will all fall off due to the plant using all the stored energy in the leaves. Even adding nutes now will probably not help it but it may help you keep some of the leaves at the very top.

I hope I am wrong but I have seen this hundreds of times. Don't get upset just learn from your experiences. Let's see what happens to the rest of the fan leaves in the next 7 days.

I haven't used any nutes throughout the whole grow. Can't really remember what soil I used, although it said it feeds for up to 9 months. I've only watered when it's dry.

Is the deff. going to hurt the grow, or will I be fine till the end?

yes it will slow the growth during veg, and if you dontuse bloom nutes during flower your not going to get a very good harvest.. feed them bitchs...... but start at 1/4 strength and work up over a couple week period..

What do you suggest I do now? It's really just an experiment anyway, so I'm not upset... If all the leaves fall off and I'm not done growing, will it die? Could I just cut my plant down and dry it before the pistils turn amber or all the trichs are milky? Or will it have no THC in it. Should I just cut it down right now and throw it away? Are all my efforts a waste?
