My third try, hope it's not fail

Yo, what's up bro. I hope your having fun with your so far successful grow, after all that's what its really all about. I'm sure you have said all this somewhere in the thread and I read a little but the facts of your grow are spread out and its a long journal. What strain, watts, are you using. From the looks of your plant you have 6 more weeks left, but the plant will let you know. Dont get locked into thinking 8weeks or 9 or any certain time. Get a small pocket microscope on eBay for 10$ with this u can look at the trichome and they will tell u when they are ready. Your girl looks like she is hungry tho. What r u using for nutes? I also run a small compact fluorescent cabinet. I just harvested a liberty haze a week ago. You are going to LOVE growing your own smoke. Smoking is fun, growing is seriously addictive. I suggest for your next grow you go hydro. It really is easier than you think. Really even easier than soil I'd have to say. The plant tells you in numbers what it wants and once you learn how to read those numbers your set. You can build a dwc such as this one for 40$. It will give you the best smoke imaginable. What do you seem to be having problems.s with? Sorry for rambling I'm high. Anyways if you wanna check it out. I did a thread on my grow in the hydro forum under "small cfl scrip liberty haze" would love to help with any questions, peace

K, so I just looked at your post from yesterday. Yes you took off way too much foliage, and yes your plant is way too over watered also(another reason to go hydro). Do NOT water or trim anymore foliage for a while. That plant looks like it could go a week without anymore watering. Its why your leaves are drooping bro. What u r experiencing is a learning curve. Its the impatience and always wanting to touch, cut or do something. Plants are very resilient, but dont like being man handled all the time. Do not remove anymore foliage. And dont listen to ppl that dont know what they r talking about or ppl talking shit. Anyone that says they havent made these kinds of mistakes when they first start growing is a LIAR!!! we all have done this kinda thing. Learning to listen to what your plant is telling you and asking for is absolutley essential to becoming a good grower. Is that the only bulb in your cabinet? If so go to Wal-Mart, buy a power strip, 3 more light adapters and 3 more cfl's. Mount the strip to the ceiling of your cabinet. Your plants gonna need a lot more light in flower to produce even airy(but still good) buds.

And no do NOT change change the light cycle b/c if you do you will mess everything up. 12/12 is the flower cycle, the ONLY light cycle for flowering and it is where you will stay throughout the remainder of this entire grow.

Man in a coursework deadlines week your executive summary seems to be the best thing I have read so far. Hats off to you mate, keep it real

No problem bro, what strain are you running and whatcha using for nutes anyways?

I am doing white widow, and using just one suplement called baby bio or something. I have no idea what to get when i go to the grow shop

Hey RedBoy!! She seems just fine!! Do you spray water often on the leaves?
I'm not exactly sure but I think it's a way to give her more water (through the stomata of your leaves) so this may mean you could be overwatering. Your leaves look kinda droopy..
Nice work, tall girls! Where is she from, Sweden?

Cheers!!

I also think spraying water on them after watering the soil can cause some overwatering issues, that said, you can try watering the soil a bit less and spraying the plants lightly with sparkling water, thus adding CO2 to the air, just a thought, might be ridiculous also a warning, spraying water on the plant directly might cause the humidity to go to high, causing mold and fungus etc. All bad things you don't want for you plant (;

Good luck and happy growing!

So that means no soil spraying for the next at least two days, and just some air refreshment amount of water for her.

Lose the soil spraying and plant spraying.. stick to the basics. Water only when the soil is dry, and not too much.. just enough so a bit of water is dripping from the holes in the bottom of the pot. Seriously dude, the less you mess with her, the happier she'll be.

+1 stick to the basics (; don't push/rush it, let nature do her business

I have a small problem with waiting, so I will try to do my best on working on that

I know your pain I'm an impatient man myself, but you gotta let your plant do the work, nature's been at it for billions of years, not much you can do to speed things up (; keep that in mind, let her do her job and she will amaze you when harvest comes.

Redboy, unless you get more light in that little box, your not going to harvest, but maybe a few grams of dried bud. You also are watering too much, foliage feeding (spraying the leaves) is watering. and you need a simple 3 part nutrient pack. These kinda plants MUST have food, lighting, and proper ventilation. It looks like you have just one very small cfl in there. You plant MUST have more b produce. Think about your plant like a small person. Could you survive on just a tiny amount of sunshine, and no really food, just water? Also plants have to breath like ppl. They need fresh air exchange constantly to take in more carbon dioxide.

Well when giving these advices I would be more than happy if you give me a slight clue in what to invest as I like everyone else do not want to waste money on things that I might not need again.

Really can't have too much light. Yea, yea you can have too much heat from a hot light source but you still can't have to much light.

Check out Mewks thread. He's doing awesome with little lights in a pc case.

You could spend a few hundred Investing in an led light or as little as 15$ on a small 250w cfl and an adapter like this one bought from Wal-Mart or home depot. How big is the light you have in there, and what temps does the box run at when they be on?

These little cfl's put out a LOT more light than they use in watts. Even adding these two to your little box would drastically change what you end up with.

I have just one 45W cfl light. I had 250W but at that point I was growing only in the box and it generated too much heat that have nearly killed my previous ones.
