These environmental factors wont effect the potency, only the yield. The potency is determined by the strain, the harvest time, and, some would debate, the fertilizers used. Of course nutes might make the smoke more potent but that might be because you're smoking cannabinoids and fertilizer. The...

Anyone out there? I would think this would be an easy one for skilled CFLs growers. Is the 7-8 weeks of flowering time from the time the light cycle is changed to 12/12 or is it 7-8 weeks from the time the plant shows sex?

I forced my plant to flower at 14 days and it started to show sex 2 weeks later. If you're using CFLs its not a good idea to wait for pre-flowers because your plant is going to grow way too big that it would require massive amounts of CFLs. Of course, not allowing the plant to pre-flower is...

Any skilled growers out there that can answer this one? This is sort of unique since HID growers don't usually force plants to flower they just wait for the plant to show pre-flowers. Since I was using CFLs, I had to force the flowering process to keep the plant a manageable height.

When a breeder states that flowering time for his strain is 7-8 weeks is that 7-8 weeks from the time the photo-period is switched to 12/12 or is that 7-8 weeks from the time the plant show sex? I forced my plant to flower at 14 days and it took 2 weeks after that to show sex and another 5 days...

Here is a pic of my AK47 on day 14, the first day of flowering If there is one bit of advise I can give is to flower the plant as soon as possible if using CFLs and don't let it grow taller than 4-5 inches during veg. I flowered at 4 inches high and my AK has finally stopped growing...

Thanks for the encouragement. I sure hope my gal starts filling out. I'm following the buds for less book so no nutes or any additives. Just Miracle Grow and Perlite mix.

God damn I'm jealous. I'm on day 52 today and my main cola is pitiful compared to yours. I'm using 2 42w and 6 26w, all 2700K (240w total). I'm not impressed at all with CFLs but then its clear that I did not use enough.

I could not have said it any better Bud. I was shocked when my plant grew to 6 times her size when I was flowering. She was beautiful, stout and bushy when I flowered at 4 inches tall. That plant is now taller than 3 feet! I guess the AK47 strain don't like being grown indoors, being forced into...

That will work for vegging 1 of your plants. When you go to flower that 1 plant you're going to need much, much more than that.

Wrong, that's backwards. Daylight is for veg and Soft White is for flowering. Dude you need WAY more light than that. Don't make the same mistake I made. I used 2 42w CFLs and 6 26w CFLs for my AK47 and it just isn't enough light. I'm on the home stretch (2 weeks left) and I'm really worried...

Well said. It ain't over till the fat lady sings so I'll just have to wait and see where she is in a few weeks. Hell, she may triple in bud size these next 2 weeks.

Obviously you don't live in a place where a few silly plants can land you a few silly decades in prison. Where I am 1 plant = 1 pound of marijuana and 5 of those silly plants could easily constitute 25 years in the penitentiary. Just because laws are lax in California now doesn't mean the...

Dude, delusional spent a lot of time and energy trying to help you out and because you don't like his answer, he's an asshole? Sometimes we need to accept the fact that we don't know everything and there are times when sound advise from another perspective should be strongly considered. Its...

Motherfucker! I did not need to see that.... but it was hilarious.

You can take a look at my AK47 here. I've got 240w (8 lights total) on 1 plant and I'm finding that it's not enough to illuminate below the canopy. I think I would recommend 4 42w CFLs per plant strategically placed as close to the bud sites as possible. One suggestion; as soon as the flowering...

Fat, or plump, chicks are smoking hot and fucking them is way more satisfying than boning skinny chicks. I've been trying to plump up my current wife for 2 years now but she is genetically athletic and has a difficult time putting on weight..... My philosophy is this: do what feels right, and...

I guess I'm not a real gardener.. But then I could give a shit less, I grow pot, not tulips.

Nice looking plants! I've never seen plants so small flowering like that. Are you using daylight (6500K) CFLs? From the pic they look like daylight CFLs. If they are, I'd try to switch em all out with soft whites (2700k). Good job!
