First time CFL Grow

Think they are 42W 150w equals, got em at home depot

Pineapple express:week 2 of flower. Pistils getting thicker and more calyxs? Not sure of the plural use of that word, popping out.

DAY 18 of flower.
Pineapple is looking good today, she is at 12 inches tall, she was 6 inches when I started flower. I'm seeing good pistil production and she is extremely healthy and bushy. Doing very light feeding with miracle grow bloom booster, about 1/5th of the recommended dose. She seems to like it, no nute burn.

Nice, i got those same bulbs. I've been putting my plant outside though during the day. last two days have been warm and sunny and so she got 9 hours of direct sun each day. hmm idk if it's just me but at 18 days flowering shouldn't we be seeing a lot of buds and white hairs?

I wish i could put her outside to get some good sunlight and fresh air , She was around 2.5 weeks into veg when I switched to 12/12 so she had to become sexualy mature first before she started producing pistils. So take into account that time, and the delay that my light leak may have caused. Or I just fucked up haha

ah okay i see. mine has preflowered but i'm still unsure if its an auto or not..i hate iffy ass shit like this. so annoying.

You may have said it before but have you switched to 12/12? Autos should flower regardless of light schedule, I'm sure you already know that. But what another week or two if you notice more pistils under 18/6 or whatever veg schedule you run you will know she's a auto. mine will probably yeild as much as an auto because of her short veg time I should have waited haha so much more space in my cabinet. But I did also expect 2 plants...

im on 24/0 light. she preflowered only 16 days after popping out of the ground! i'll wait a while and see if she flowers, worst case scenario she gets a little bigger and i get a better result right?

Exactly , the dreaded part of sexing is over. So you know your gonna get some smoke. Now it's just a matter of how much smoke. Imo 16 days sounds early for sex to show from regular seeds. But time will tell.

So it has begun ladies and gentlemen, DAY 20 OF FLOWER, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS. I never thought I would make it this far, I would like to thank my mom because she my number one supporter and of course you all here at RIU. Except the mother friggen a holes who said my pineapple was a male... I'm kidding I love you to. Seriously though, I'm glad the help here and endless hours of research have paid off... so far. Enough Goofing around, here's some photos. Don't mind the browning on my leaves it's a calcium deficiency that will be resolved tomorrow.

Looking awesome. our plants are close to the same stage. going to be interesting to see them grow

looking good this morning, trying to decide what to feed today or if I should just water. Gave a feed last watering and she enjoyed it, no nute burn. Solution is 1/2 of recommended strenghth.

what do you feed her?

Right now some shit called cactus juice, has npk of 1-6-7 and 1%calcium to. I'll throw some with a higher N content every other feeding to keep her from getting a N def.

Gonna just call this WEEK 2 OF FLOWER. PINEAPPLE EXPRESS. Doing this because it took so long for her to become sexualy mature. She's is a lovley green color, very healthy plant. She loves the cactus juice. I put a little over the recommended feeding because it's fairly weak. Cfls cover all of the bud sites. I, dont know why people grow autos, this plant is only about 13 inches tall. So it's not difficult to grow a small size regular seed. I'm sure the quality is alot better, possibly yeild as well here is some photos.

Pineapple is looking amazing, she smells even better, it's a very pungent sweet smell. All of my buddy's act like little children when the smell her, so I know it's good .no feeding last watering. I've given her a 1/4 dose of mg bloom booster for one watering and x2 doses of the cactus juice each watering for 2 waterings. She seems to love the nutes but I don't want to over do it. This plant is producing quiet a few bud sites for being so small. I have my cfls all over the canopy to make sure I get some light on them.
