3 60 watt growdelux CFLs, 3 60 watt HO flouresents, 1 soft white flouresent OPINIONS


I have pictures of the set-up, and needs opinions on positioning of lights and my use of mylar and the angles of the lights.
This plant has 8 REALLY strong arms, all with hundreds of leaves on them, but need advice on to what more lighting i need. I plan on buying more fluorescent lights for lower and higher spots on the sides, but the 3 delux CFLs are stationary on the top of the system im using. I can lift it as I please, as tall as I need.

any help at ALL will be greatly appreciated, this is only my second indoor grow, and am still a beginner in my own eyes regardless of how many outdoor grows ive had.

view the pictures and telllll me what you think, please :smile:

:weed:

Looking very nice and healthy. What strain is it? I'm starting three lowryder 2's in my AG deluxe here in the next couple days. They better be as small as people say because if they start looking like yours then theres only gonna be room for one! Your lighting sounds pretty good to me. If those eight main stems all end up turning into nice colas then I'd probably try and throw a lower wattage HPS in place of some of the flouro's for flowering (if thats possible). How did you top that plant to turn it into an octopus like that? Hope its a female!!

I want a 150w HPS, but cannot afford it, and the heat within my limited grow space would not be very good :/ but it's just bagseed, found on my tray. I topped it after I guess the 5th true node, because I have 4 nodes at the very bottom which spit out 2 octopus arms each so, do the math 8) if you want pictures of where i topped it I would be happy to take them :joint:

Yeah man I feel you on the HPS situation. I got a small growspace as well and a budget thats just as tight. I hope I can top mine as successfully as you did yours when the time comes.

The aerogarden made the topping effect monstrous, I only fed my plant with small nutrients twice and its been on a large nutrient diet since its first couple of res tank fills, so I may have put too much steroids in her haha.:shock:
