Thanks man, i think a good quality reflector is essential if your using cfl. But heat is still an issue with these things, i would advise any prospective cfl growers to still use a decent ventilation system in the growroom! The other thing is the light penetration ability. Maybe if these were TRUE autos, they would be alot more 'filled out' because the light would only need to go through about 2 foot to get the the lowest bud sites, but these semi autos are like a meter tall and so the buds are focused in the first 1/2 - 1.5 foot of the canopy.
Day 79 (Day 39 of flower)
- My normal camera i use is out of action for a week or so, thats why the pics have been crappy the last week. Theres not much point uploading any more coz the crappy camera ive been substituted with can't take up close shots so i can only do shots of the whole room.
- The plants ARE showing noticable damage from the PK 13/14 now from last weeks feed. I fed at half strength, which was 3ml/ gal. I should have stayed at 1ml/ gal but i wanted to push it to half strength, but they obviously cant take it. There is necrosis of leaf tips pretty bad on the large top bud near to the light, i guess the nute burn has also destroyed the main buds ability to cope with the temps of being so close to the light, as those leafs nute burn has travelled 4x the distance of any other plants/areas of plants leaf burn.
- So yeah, my bad. Most leaves are still OK, but there is some bad damage on the main bud of the big girl. Be careful of the pk 13/14 !!! 1ml/ gal should suffice!
EDIT: ok screw it i just got some pics from my broken camera
UPDATE- I just watered my plants with mineral water with molasses, and for what its worth i added a bit of superthrive for the first time since they were like an inch tall. I also added some more soil bacteria for what its worth (probably nothing at this stage)
View attachment 2383348 Group pic: Most the leaves are still OK. There are two clear phenotypes i have noticed due to the smell of the THC
View attachment 2383349 The large girl: Really affected by the 1/2 strength pk13/14 last week. Much nute burn, made worse by being the closest plant to the light. She should hang in there though.
View attachment 2383350 The topped plant: Still going strong, with some really frosty bud sites!
View attachment 2383351 The smaller girl. This is the second phenotype, because the THC smells strange, like a really dull spice. I think i had this phenotype on my last grow but i thought it was a phenotype of one of the pineapple express i had instead (because it thought that was where i planted the PE). Its got a very similiar smell to the strange one i had last grow, and i suspect it will turn into the same final smell: very musky spice mixed with fuel and manure LOL so....think im gonna prefer the other two grapefruit smelling plants i got. Apparantly it tasted nice in a joint though.

Good luck with your heat issues. Ive had loads of repeating problems with it but i got it under control now (well its only because the days are colder now hehe)
next update with pics i promise!
not like smokin wet weed in a J when u must breath air through wet buds, with vaping u heat all the bud at once. So all water vapour is sterilised etc. This weed is really nice and if i got another 2-3 weeks left then shes gonna b awesome bit of smoke! 
been high for the last 2 hours still high now
