2nd grow, flowing since March 4th. Thoughts?

FreshToke · Mar 19, 2013

Hello
i am new and i have been lurking the forums for awhile now. i have been learning about growing for about a year now; from the internet alone.
Anyway my plant seems healthy as i have found it is female.

before major signs of flowering

After signs of flowering. Noticeable stretch and is still stretching i think.

this is my setup. i am growing with CFLs as i cannot afford proper HID lighting. and i am also using Foxfarm GrowBig and TigerBloom Nutes.
Anyway please let me know what you peoplez think. :peace:

Looks great for your first grow, alot of vegetation for a few cfl's. Just keep
in mind, don't harvest too early. Alot of people do this on the first grow. Just
keep doing what your doing. Love it, give it plenty but sparringly, bloom nutes.
Happy trails!

Yes i have made sure the CFLs put off an adequate amount of lighting. and i have been using the nutes very sparingly. i dont want to make my plant anymore uNcomfortable than it has to be; as i have no fan in there. no heat stress thankfully do to the low temp of the lights. it stretches so much everyday, its just grand lmao. :weed:

Looks very healthy nice job. If you top next time you'll get more colas!

FreshToke · Mar 20, 2013

Yes my first grow i grew 3 plants hydro and 3 plants in soil. (3random midgrade and 3 chronic) anyway getting to the point i lst'd one of the ones in soil; just for the hell of it, and i had 2 very nice colas at harvest. this pic is more than halfway thru harvest.

FreshToke · Mar 20, 2013

I havent yet experienced with pruning the plant in any matter like that. i will try on my next random chronic bagseed, im going to grow one at a time since 6 was a lot for my first time.
2/3 of the chronic plants were mediocre at best. i grew them as an experiment becuz i have nevr grown before that. but the rest of them (4/6) were IMO good for a first time.

I believe this guy did pruning while using CFL lights
https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-fluorescent-lighting/614769-my-first-indoor-cfl-grow.html
It works, but depending on the wattage of your bulbs and if you can hang them between branches, it looks like it'd be hard for the light to penetrate deep enough. I see it as being more prosperous if you just grow a bunch of smaller plants when using CFLs

Looks good though! :eyesmoke:

FreshToke · Mar 21, 2013

sounds reasonable, and easier. and yea it is kind of a pain tryin to get the CFLs in the best position,for i cannot hang in between branches. i am really considering trying some pruning next grow.

FreshToke · Mar 21, 2013

My girl is getting larger. and starting to put off a nice dank fruity smell. i shall name her Aphrodite. :joint:

dunkin73 · Mar 22, 2013

Curious as to what size pot she is in, very nice looking plant!

LTsmoker · Mar 22, 2013

Looks good...... you can get good seeds from net if you want. Stealthy packaging too.......

Its easy to do its just hard the first time because you dont want to go chopping off part of your plant lol. Then after the first time you'll be hooked because of all the extra colas you get. Just do some research on it its easy after the first one you'll know right where to cut. It starts showing the benefits of the topping very quickly as well.

Thanks. She is in a tall 5 gal, that is in a blue wastebasket to catch the drainage. I have been looking into some bushdoctor cuz my soil is getting Rockhard. Other than that she is happy and healthily taking up nutes without burn!

as soon as i can afford a good setup, i will get a Proper light. Also i have knowledge of pruning, but as you said, I'm scared to hurt my plant lol. just cut right above the node right?

FreshToke · Mar 22, 2013

Im packing a bowl now for all the great feedback. :joint:
