    First CFL grow.

    I use Fox Farm nutes and soil and I give Grow Big at 3 weeks then again at 4 weeks, then I flip to 12/12 and I start my flowering nutes.I use to grow with CFL's and you want higher watts for sure. I used around 700 actual watts had about 12 bulbs I grew a lot of good weed that way.

    What's the consensus on cow manure?

    Fox Farm"s Big Bloom has Bat shit in it and it works very well without smelling. If you have cow shit available I'm assuming you have a barn in which case you probably have bats if you are trying to save money why not collect their shit. Just kidding,. do what works for you.

    How close to being ready to flower are these?

    Can't tell just by looking at the picture. How long have they been flowering? And you need to check your trichs if they're mostly cloudy you are good to go.

    How long do thc levels remain in dried trim?

    I'm not an expert but I've been growing for awhile and I think as long as the trim has been sealed and not manhandled the thc content should remain the same. I wish you well and hope someone with more knowledge can validate my response.

    Changing up light schedule during flowering?

    I'd just switch without going through all that bullshit. I wouldn't concern myself with hermies not likely to happen. It's only switching one time it's not like you're on and off on and off. Just start with whatever time you want lights on and off

    Cfl equivalents good or no?

    I first started growing with CFL's using the equivalent of 700 watts. I had bulbs hanging everywhere. I got 3 4 good grows then I switched to a 400 watt MH/HPS and to tell you the truth they work just about the same. I may get a bit more bud but it's all good. CFL's work just fine if you use enough.
