hey all, so my plant is in the 11th or 12th week of flowering, give or take a few days. anyways the plant looks ready to harvest, except for the top cola, picture included below. However all the other buds on the plants are easily 2/3 amber/brown colored pistils. as you can see in the picture...

HPS is definatley the better bet, yield-wise. however i have found that using an HPS above the plants, with several flourescent, or CFL bulbs on the side make for a better light distribution and can help fluff up those outer buds and branches.

i vegged for about 8 or 9 weeks i think. made the plant pretty tall, and kind of skinny. next time i would go for a couple weeks less. this is the only one i have, i started with 3, one being male and the other just not healthy. couple weeks to go. more and more pistils are turning brown/amber...

no, this is my first CFL grow. i would say i spent less than 30 dollars on all the bulbs and extension cords i bought. i bought 2 clamp lights with small hoods around them and put 42 watters in there. there are many cheap alternative to just buying the T5 or T12 shop flouro lights. the key is to...

i have 3X42 watts, 3X26 watts and 5X13 watts. the smaller 13's are just for the side growth, i have them spread out around the plant. so runnin around 250 watts, give or take

here are some heddy shots of my plant, 5th or so week of flowering. probably a month from harvest, but we'll see. im using a total of 8 CFLs, all organic soil and ferts. i was thinking about adding some molasses to plump up the buds... any thoughts? btw, somone mention if the pictures arent...

so im running 4 plants on a 24/0 schedule, and im not sure when to change it. do i need to change it to 18/6 at some point? or can i just go right into 12/12 when theyre ready to flower? heres a pic

can anyone tell me how long i should do a 24/0 cycle? also do i switch them to 18/6 or just go right into flowering from 24/0

3 weeks in, herer are some pics. i havent used nutes yet, there is some yellowing, i think it will go away with some foxfarm... any suggestions? now i am running these under a 20watt cool white flourescent and 2 26watt CFL and 1 46 watt CFL bulbs. still going 24/0, how long should i go until i...

yea i will definatley be adding another 100-150w of CFL light in the next day or two

[/IMG] [/IMG] in this one you can see the weird start the purps took. its lower right. any ideas? it seems to be continuing to grow, just a little slower. im thinking maybe i didnt plant it deep enough. [/IMG] starting to get some nice color

Hey all, just started my frist closet grow using CFL lights. i grew 2 plants a few months back using a 600w MH, and now im just doing this for the satisfaction of homegrown ganja :leaf:, and to reduce the energy consumption. its been a week since i germinated and planted the seeds. i ended up...
