6 weeks of cfl flowering

atombomb · Oct 19, 2008

Hows she looking. Dont mind the burnt tips I just flushed about 9 gallons through her tonight before pics were taken, she has been having some issues but I'm hoping the flush cures her (never been flushed in 3+ months of growing) I ran 1/2 strength Tigerbloom and tbsp of H202 in the last gallon. Soil ph run off went from <6.0 to 6.6 using 6.8 water to flush with. I think I had a Ph lockout of some sort.

How much longer do you think till harves and how much do you think the buds will grow in a few more weeks?

The last 2 pics are my females that were flowered from seed.

Comments welcome, good or bad.

the last two are 12/12 from seed?

atombomb · Oct 19, 2008

Yep and they only showed sex like 13 days ago, so they are 48 days old since they cracked the surface of the soil out on my deck. I immediately repotted them and stuck them in 12/12.

All three were started on 12/12 at the same time, it took the seedlings 30 days to mature enough to show sex and start flowering. That puts them a month behind the one that's in full flower.

I have dubbed them FELONY , but they are just bagseed, indeed a 4 yr felony.!!

Thats all you got roll it up, I cant even get a "You should have used a 100000w HPS to flower, CFLs are no good"

I have on another note seen much much worse with much much better lighting

Good grow sir, I've done the 12/12 from seed to. Thas how I do most of mine since i have space restrictions...apt :\ But keep up the good work, from the looks of those pics, I'd say you got a week maybe two. The generic answer is to get a microscope and check the trichs lol.

atombomb · Oct 20, 2008

Trichs are all cloudy with a clear one or two left, Only seen one amber out of all the buds so Im thinking they have more like 3 weeks, but time will tell.

Rom420 · Oct 20, 2008

Those look pretty good man. Yeah I'd say 2-3 weeks. They should put on some more weight. if your still doing your lights 12 on/off then it will take a little bit longer, but you will also have a better yield

atombomb · Oct 20, 2008

Im sticking with 12/12 for the duration so the little ones will go full tilt long after the big one is cured.

I am curious as to how much weight they gain in the nest 2-3 weeks

When should I flush? and how often, I only water once every 4 days. which means only about 3 to 5 more waterings

Drogrowno · Oct 21, 2008

is the yeild amount good on a 12/12 from start to finsh compared to normal 18-6 to 12/12? just got some seeds in and was wondering

Mr. Bitti · Oct 21, 2008

great grow man +rep. quick question how many watts are you using and how many plants??

atombomb · Oct 21, 2008

3 plants total, 1 mature that was vegged a couple months, and the 2 12/12 from seed plants. Its under 500w of CFLs 11 26w and 4 42w along with 2 20w 18"tubes as side lights.

I have no idea what harvest will be on the 12/12 from seed plants. Only time will tell. This is my first ever grow

prplehze22222 · Oct 25, 2008

if they took 30 days to start flowering you should have just vegged them for that month anyways, unless you thought they would start flowering earlier, was this the case?

artemisinked · Oct 25, 2008

God- those look gorgeous and are pretty inspiring. I had to resort to CFLs after the HPS went too hot on me without the ability to vent properly. I can only hope that my 6 turn out to be girls and look like that. How many CFLs and how many plants do you have? Would love to get more info to try to reproduce those results.

artemisinked · Oct 25, 2008

I should read. I see you answered that above. My bad. Are you using splitters or plug lights into a powerstrip to get that number of lights on the plant. How long did you veg the seed plants?

atombomb · Oct 26, 2008

Splitters, and the seed plants were 5 days old when 12/12 was started the one in full flower was a couple months old. I broke it in half a week before flowering on accident or else it would easily be 5 feet tall right now.

One room, one set of lights planted them thinking I would set up veg and flower areas but decided to just try my hand at 12/12 from seed. In all actuality they did veg for that month only on a 12/12 cycle, so when they were mature enough to flower, they did. They are fast approaching 3+ feet tall so I dont think it mattered that much Heres 27 days old pic and a 47 day old pic of the same 2 plants
