Do you figure on giving the girls eight weeks of flower, before you move ??
The timing is just about right, you could try taking some clones, if for nothing more than practice, or throw them into 12/12 to boost your yield. I see some good cloning stock on the bottom of your larger plants.

that is a good idea, but i just don't have the space to make a separate veg room. and for time's sake, i want to keep them in flowering so that i can make sure that the buds reach maturity and i can cure them properly before i leave.

when i have more space, i'll start a proper grow that will have a continuing yeild.

Your grow looks good.

One suggestion: you can get a 150w HPS light and ballast for under $100 total. High Tech Garden Supply -- the folks who sold me my 400w HPS -- has a nice setup, and you can find others if you look.

150w HID will give you much brighter light than your current CFL setup, and not a whole lot more heat. If money and space are really tight, you could even look at

(EDIT: they have a very nice special this month -- a 400w complete HPS setup for $95 + shipping. For a few shekels more than you would be spending on CFL bulbs you could get a serious harvest for years to come... )

i would like an hps, but it would raise the electricity bill... once i get a serious grow going, i'll definitely invest in one. thanks for the suggestion!

the pistils are growing, and i can almost see buds forming, i'm so excited! here are some pictures. closup of plant a, then b, then a group shot. the lower leaves of the two headies plants are a little yellow, and it looks like a nitrogen deficiency to me. i added a tiny bit of a kind of nutrient with a lot of nitrogen (20-5-5), and i think i can already see a slight improvement.

i see the forming sexual organs of plant c, but i can't tell the sex. it looks more female than male to me, but only time will tell.

i forgot to mention that i named the two headies plants. plant a is now "silver thunder" and plant b is now "olde english". they're named after some great beverages, and they also sound vaguely like weed strains, especially silver thunder.

I like the names, good move going easy on the nutes, can always add more.

thanks, and that was my logic too with the nutes. i'm pretty sure the nutrients have helped so far, so i added a little more today.

Day 20 Flowering

more and more white hairs, especially on Silver Thunder. since i began to flower them, they've grown a lot in height- Silver Thunder is around 17 inches, and Olde English is around 20. i added another wire to plant c to keep it low. i have pictures.

Silver Thunder and Olde English have some yellow leaves on the bottom, and i gave them a small amount of nitrogen rich nutes, and they're doing better. you can maybe see in the photos- the more yellow leaves used to be all yellow, but now have more green at the bottom and the middle of the fingers.
