male flowers showing

Im really interested in how this turns out...have my own small cfl grow going right now but i'm about 3 weeks behind you.

yo im really interested where u got nl#5 from and if u did if its real and can i have the website

Looking good there man!

That lights a similar/posh verson of mine - same wattage too

I'm probably getting a half per plant if that gives you hope! (having said that, I vegged for 2 months to take a load of clones which all died - but, for 4 branches less than the plant should have I've got a real nice amount - the main colas probably 3 clippers wide and 2-3 clippers tall if that gives you any idea!)

Your ladies look real nice and healthy. Too bad about the males. I got 2 going right now, I hope one is a girl. Are you going to flower with CFLs?

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

Yes, I'm currently flowering with the CFL. Day 17 of 12/12

I repotted both plants in 1 gallon pots.

Also, I found I have to be careful with the bulb distance from the top of the plants. Tips of the leaves for new growth turn brown if they touch the bulb.

Wow they look real good man! Ive got the same setup i think. I have 125w envirolite. With 2 plants hope at leaste 1's female. I want at leaste an ounce of bud. Ur grow looks good i dont have a hood / reflector thing mine is just hanging vertically ontop of it so i dont know what im gonna do jsut gonna wait. Urs looks good i will deffo keep my eye on this.

Happy bud.
