btw quick update small pistols are starting to show out of the tops of the buds, wednesday i will put up more pictures

yea so i lied here are some pictures today couldnt wait til tomorrow to take them,

They look sweet man

Excellent looking

thanks for all the views people, i will keep the pictures coming, just changed the lights around so that the bud sites are surrounded by light,

everyday they grow more so i decided to take some more, so here ya go. ps in the last picture you can see my side project that i was going to kill off yesterday cause it was so tall but i decided to bend it over instead

them plants are looking very good, i'm going to do a journal on CFL growing, just waiting for some seeds to be mailed...

Just got my new seeds in from attitude yesterday, took 2 weeks but they made it,
White Berry, The Church, Strawberry Cough and Power Skunk all are FEM except the Power skunk, anyways new pictures will be up tomorrow, these babys are doing amazing i think i spy small tric's forming woo hoo

sup guys the girl is doing really good, bigger and bigger every fucking day, im thinking about cutting off some of the leaves cause she is hella bushy and alot of the lower bud sites are completely isolated from the light.

slinger,
you might want to tuck your fan leaves behind the bud sites so your bud sites will remaib exposed to the light. i grew powerskunk last year and that strain will turn into a monster. you want to top and flower that strain alot earlier. next time i will flower that strain at 6-7 inches max. i germed 2 out of 5 powerskunks and they were both female. i flowered at about 1 foot tall and they grew 3.5 feet tall and 2.5 feet wide. the bud has a very nice aroma and flavor. i ended up having to flower for 11 weeks. very large yields as well. my dry weight was 6.5 ounces on both plants.

those are going to be some HEAVY buds......! let me know what you have for lights if you could. I like the cfls but I picked up a 400w switchable/convertible ballast and light&socket...I built a hood, so I feel it only right to give my girls what they deserve, since i have the space. shit, i'm running like 22 cfl... why not just use the 400 and a couple cfls.
word tho bro, those plants look SICK. as far as the cutting goes, I just tucked the fan leaves as aladdin said. It works for me.
I'll be keepin' up with your grow for sure.
peace

Im just running cfls keeping them 1 to 3 inches above the plant, 7 x 42 watt soft white, i have a hps but it puts off to much heat for my space right now, my room stays around 68 and 70 degrees and i have no fans or exaust running since its in a closet in my room and i keep the door open*shrugs* seems to work just fine.

cool.. yeah, I put 2 fans in my box, temps stay right at 73f when lights are on, but at night, they drop to 59-61... i put a space heater in there, but shit the temps shot up to 90 in like 5 min... and the heater wont shut off at the lowest setting...
so i think the low temps are slowing down growth allot.. I'm growing in a cellar, and it's been sub zero for about 2 weeks..
I'll just have to be patient, and cut back on the water i guess. hopefully the plants are just getting charged up for a growth spurt.
i'll be keepin up
peace

so i would guess that i probly have a week left for my girl to stretch and then onward to full bud production power hhahah here is some pictures, they were taken after watering so the leaves are a little droopy.

Looking good man! Just wondering how many days into flower are you?? I seem to be a week or so behind you...I also am using cfl's i have 8 of the 42w Ill be staying tuned to see how it turns out for you, good luck bro
