Damn it!! Delayed cloning over the weekend, got super busy, anyway I fed them but I added way to much bat guano over the past feeds and well you guessed it, some N nutrient burn which sucks... I still cloned anyway last night and also lollipopped but I just feel empty now lol I was doing good them bam I do something stupid but here she is

Last time to tuck everything, my box has perfect conditions for my clones so I delayed flowering one more week, I FIMed/topped, then pushed everything under the scrog. Good news all new growth since last week is green and stopped showing signs of nute burn, I watered her with ph treated water to try and flush her so it's working so far. I added my extra 2700K bulbs and kept the other bulbs as well. So much brighter haha and I know she'll love it

Keep us updated bro, I'm curious to see the yeild of the cfl power :) I just harvested my 1st grow using scrog. Got 3.5 oz and oz of trim. I believe root aphids and pm lowered the quantity but its still potent! Messed up the drying part though..

All this is for information purposes, :) love sharing what I know and have learned. She is going to be fully scrogged, I have decided to fill 99%... Fill as many squares as possible... Only because I have worked 8" of extra space for the bulbs and will lollipop one more time, clones are taking longer and have no other spot for a 18/6 or 24/0 light or temp correct for clones to grow roots. So veg one more week for my plant... First time and going against people suggesting 75% fill... Let's see how it goes..... Oh!!!! Yeah!!! No bugs anymore and I think it's still N burn

Notice I placed my clones in a more efficient spot... Um the sprouted red hairs which felt like they were flowering... They had less light, so was that a sign of flowering?.... Most likely though, but I should have fixed the problem now:)

So since I found a place for my clones I can officially begin to flower. I went and bought 3 more cfl's haha 100 watt replacements 2700K and also took 12 more clippings. Since I can focus on my clones separately from the main plant I'll be able to get a better success rate. But for now we will wait to see how crowded it gets

Remember plant only flower and vegg at 2700K and 6400K why would you want 20000 lumens when the plant only uses lumen that is close to these 2 values ? I never heard of having more lumens and what's the point if you remember photosynthesis from school there's no point having excess light if there isn't enough co2 in the air for the plant to convert it into energy especially not when you trim because you loose plants power supply (fan leafs) ?

Lumens and light spectrum are two different things, lol 6400k didn't know they have that light spectrum for cfl, the sun emits up to 100,000 lumens and it's light spectrum depending on time of year, the 2700K is the dominant spectrum so 6500 is added light and can be used for growth, second of all my plant is growing fine so co2 isn't a problem especially when air circulation is good, and trimming leaves that wont get light is wasted energy and growth, got to lollipop your plant, so you won't get premature buds (popcorn buds) and help the canopy get better air circulation. Hope this helps you out bro you new grow may need it good luck

So it's been 1 week 2 days since my last update... And well good and bad news, 1st off my lights were raised, I left, came back and they fell on her :( after a few days I clipped the burned parts and did a final lollipop, 2nd I checked on my clones and first batch had no chance lol 0% success, but the second batch had 5 clones root and are transfers to small jiffy pots 7 days for them to root, so happy I have clones ready for another run

I like your grow, hazza420 is very helpful man, I've been following your threads, keep her going strong, latest update: 5 weeks 6 days flowering, had to zip tied a couple nodes, some were growing sideways.... Single bud pic is the same as the one before

Hey guys been awhile it seems like, so she is on the seventh week, it's been 6 complete weeks and 3 days. I attached some string to several branches to bring it closer to the lights. Also had a branch die off early because of the lights that fell from the first week of 12/12 smoked it and it's not that bad for preme- buds also transplanted some clones and began lst and topping them, any suggestions on how to get rid of mold and fruit Flys?as soon as I'm done clones are being sent into flowering, and will have skywalker og seeds germinating soon so here it is guys
