Due to recent developments there may be a job offer coming that I cant pass up. The job would require relocation. So with that in mind, I've decided to send these plants into flower. Some bud is better than none at all. Both plants have been topped and stand at 9 inches. I topped the 1st one at 5 nodes and I topped the 2nd one at 7 nodes. I really wanted to veg them until they were 18 inches before I flowered them but plans do go awry. I think that since the CFL's do not penetrate the foliage that well that it may even be beneficial to flower the plants now when they are short. Even if they triple in size, they will only end up being 27 inches tall. Anyway, last night was their first night of 12/12. Today I'll be replacing half(6) of the bulbs in my hood with 42 watt 2700k, 2700 lumen CFL's. This will bump the total lumens on these plants to 25,800. In 3 weeks I'll replace the other 6 and have all 12 bulbs as 42 watt CFL's for 32,400 total lumens. Heres a pic of them as they woke up this morning. Both plants have been flushed and look healthy. I just wish I could have vegged them a little longer. Does anyone have any idea of how much yield I can expect from these plants if they are both female?
