Hey guys, This is my first grow with regular feminised seeds, strain is Royal Queen: Critical, its 51 days old today, I switched to 12/12 9days ago (Vegged for 6 weeks under 2x 125w Dual-Spec CFL's) Fimmed on day 37....(I spotted tiny pistils 8 days after switching)

Anyone have a rough estimate on what it could yield? Any replies much appreciated.

guessing yield isnt easy from a few pics or really unless u no the strain well, what light are you using for flower?

nice enough little plants tho for a 1st grow.

^^^Yeh^^^ So a healthy plant is going to give you a nice yield, weight is anybody's guess, but it look like it'll be quality!

I'm using the 2 125w dualspecs, you just turn the light around as half of the bulb is red, , plan on getting 150w hps soon though for flower

plants that small and flowered under cfl wont yield much.

if i had to guess and thats all it would be a guess, id say no more than 10-15g. each

get some hps u wont regret it, the pic i posted i vegged them for around 6wks.

a HPS would be a good call ..

sounds fun with them bulbs, did`t know you could get a mix spectrum like that, guess you lean sumthing new every day, ty

6 weeks veg time sounds like a lot for a small plant like that, even if you count from germination ? what kind of soil/nuts do you use and what kind a PH

also a bigger pot will let it develop a bigger rot net = a bigger plant = a bigger yield (I usealy repot in to 3-5 gallon pots a week before I flip the light to 12/12)

about yield, my guess would be as good as the next guy, but maybe a oz per plant ? tho with CLF it will only be the top half that will be good dense and mature, lower buds will be flimsy and IMO only good for makeing oil/hash a HPS will help here as well on over all yield, may I suggest a 250W with cool tube and a small 4" ventilation (fresh air/co2 is also very important for healthy and high yielding plants and a ventilation also let you fit a filter once they begin to stink if smell is a issue for you ?)

for one plant a 150W would be ok, but as with light its mostly the more the better

but sure I saw this little set online not long ago

think it was 79,99 $ and even run a MH for Veg

Yeah, I'm looking for something like that, i prefer to order from uk sites though as i don't have to wait as long for my order, Does that one i posted look ok? Ill use these 125 CFL's for side lighting if i can control temps.

I was planning on 150w hps as they're good for small spaces apparently, I only plan on doing one plant really, the other little plant in an auto which im just leaving to grow. Heres the one in thinking http://www.charlieshydro.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fcharlieshydro.co.uk%2f&WD=hps%20150w&PN=MAXIBRIGHT-150Watt-DIGILIGHT-DIGITAL-GROW-LIGHT-KIT-COMPLETE-50.html
That looks fine, but you will not regret going the extra 15 quid and getting the 250w.. As soon as I saw my 150w hps compared to my cfl, I couldn't get a higher wattage quick enough.
(CharliesHydro; I've always had the best customer service from them, stick with them cos they don't try and sell you stuff you don't need)

yeah i was thinking of getting 250, I'm just concerned about the heat from those, will i need a cooltube for it in such a small space like mine, my main target would be 28 - 35g from this plant, could this be acheivable if i got 150w?

That's doable with a 150 butr for the extra few quid the 250 n cooltube etc is the better option.

Greenshorticulture are a good uk site and also growel.

That's just what I'm running, through a cooltube. I've had 3 maxibrites ballasts so far; all of them good

I'm gonna get the 250watt then. I found it for the same price as the 150w... http://www.3ch.co.uk/grow-lights/hid-grow-lights/250-watt-digital-euro-system/prod_1307.html I won't need a cool tube for the 250w will I? Should temps be similar to my current 250w CFL setup?
It's a lot hotter that a cfl.
I had a 250cfl first grow, upgraded to 150w and was surprised how much more heat that gave out.
However, I've run a 400w in a 4 x 4 tent without a cooltube/hood and heat was a problem only in the summer time...
