1st time cfl grow 3 plants

**farfle** · 03-29-2010, 06:59 PM

ok they are all bagseed now in 10 inch pots and are all roughly 5 weeks old. two indica one sativa. all in MG basic potting soil. the lights are 8 26 watt 6500k cfls. i plan on changing to 8 26 watt 2700k cfls on friday when i start flower. It is a enclosed "stealth grow" light and scent sealed. pretty good exaust keeps the temps around 75-80 o na hot day it can get to 83. humidity is 40-50%, and i have a c02 generator that just bubbles and bubbles. I am using LST to keep them short because i have only 31 inches of verticle space to work with. thinking of doing a party cup thing next time.

I am open to any and all comments / advice. please share your knowledge with me.

Pictures will coem later i guess. . . rollitup wont let me right now. but i have lots of them.

try and add a lot more light come flowering if you can, at least another 6 bulbs if possable for a half decent yield..

ok so its been a while but iv been busy. 3 plants is now only 1. two of them showed me their balls way early. I started the 1 left on 12/12 03/31/10 and today she just showed me her first pistils. i am very excited. I will figure out what is wrong and upload pics. maybe try it from another computer.

okok i got hte pics to load. first one is early vegging. the 1 girl i have left is the one on the right. she is much bushier now. 2nd pic is the cab closed. and the 3rd pic is of the calyx itself. oh and i changed light from 8 26W 2700k to 2 65W 2700k + 1 42W 2700k + 1 30W 4000k + two 26W 6500k. 254 watts one plant I figure should be ok. and Im trying to incorporate different colors throughout. . .with 2700k being the most important. It may just be the plant changing from veg to flower. . but it actually seems much happier with all the colors, rather than how it vegged which was all 6500k.

its been a while

ok so she showed her first pistils on 4/12 but i started 12/12 on 3/31. . . so im not sure which date to go off but she is 3-4 weeks of flowering. iv actually been very slightly LST'ing all through flowering with no ill effects at all. in fact because of my LST the side buds are maintaining a consistant size and growth rate. . .

i used mg tomatoe nutes for veg. . and mg bloom nutes for flowering. . at this point i am backing off of the mg nutes and will be adding 2 tbsp per gallon of blackstrap molasses until harvest.

here are pictures. .

ok shes a little droopy lower down and thats because this is right before water. she looks all perky and happy now. oh and there are 4 more bud sites that i cant quite get above the canopy. . im hoping tey grow vertical a little so i can get them in the mix. .. as is i have spread the bud sites out as much as i could to fit all you can see. .

and the close ups are of the resin leaves close to the buds. i got a usb microscope this is either 100X or 200X not sure. but look at those cute little trichs

so how am i doing? comments always welcome.

ok so i am home during about 6 hours of the light period so i started opening the box and putting a big oscilating fan and a 70w hps in the open door, i rotate her about everyt 2 hours. after two days of this i really noticed not only the tops grow thicker but the inside hidden sites are growing nicely too. tomorrow is the 2nd day of week 6 flower and i will be watering with molasses from then till the end.
