Cfl flower day one

sorry to be a buzz killer....but get ready for some fluffy buds, possibly only a quad

u need either a lot more cfls or a hps

Watch it with the clones, they might start to strech with the cfls being so far away.

Yeah kinda what i was thinking, might put them above the whole setup just for heat.....

Krypt what do ya mean perhaps only a quad? Whats quad referring too?

PS. on my way out to get mor elights right now!

A quad is a quarter o, brother. You need more light coverage for a GOOD CFL grow!!!

Yeah kinda thoughts thats what he meant.....

Just got four more in there now for a total of 15 twenty three watt 1600 lumens...all 2700k.

Grand total
watts - 345
Lumens - 24,000

Got all the lights in best spot possible, 2-3 inches away, and i rotate my plants few times a day. Adding more lights soon.

Trying my best here!!!!

Anytime i feel like im waisting my time i look at bossmans cfl grow and it gets me motivated again.

Ehh was trying my ahrdest to wait till beginning of week three..... lots of updates on setup let me tell you! Tomorrow will be pics and updates i promis!

UPDATE!

Alright, long story short....were down to one plant...well one mature plant. We decided to chop the indica down....it was hard believe me. The indica just never grew right...then at the end she showed sex late and i think might of been a hermi. Indica def had hairs goin but lil clusters too soooo, took a nice clone off it and chopped it. With the indica terminated, the sativa has flurished!
Added a light this morning bringing the total to 16 lights now. I think i might get one more big one and thats it. If i dont wake up to crack door it gets HOT! Other then that all seems good. Now this is first grow so maybe this isnt great for day 13 but i like what i see.










CLONES

OKay so out of the 11 clones we took from all three plants 14 days ago....about 5 rooted just okay and two rooted pretty good so i kept the two. One is teh sativa goin now, and the other is the indica that is now in Weed Heaven. They seem to be doin pretty good, i water them and everything els pretty much Wet/Dry. It will be interesting to see what they do in 12/12. I kept them in 24 till they took root pretty much.... The one other clone job in there is off of the indica...it was a big fat clone that was in flower so its a long shot say the least but well se what it does....expiermentation.

I wish my camera was as good as yours! I love how my buds are progressing, but dont have anything that captures it THAT nicely! Beautiful shots

Thanks WHERE AM I, Nikon of some sort i dont know much its my roomates cam. I was on the old pic phone befor so this is a bit of an upgrade. How yours goin??? You must be just bout end week three if i rmember right?

Goin well, ty! On day 18 of flowering and will be putting up pics later. Everything is looking awesome.

FLOWER DAY 17
Alright so i was goin to wait till the end of week three but last night i was trying to find a cfl journal with a more consistnat update so i could see where my plant should be around which week and day....so i might update every few days rather then once a week.
As for the plant she is doing very nicly, more and more bud sites every day. I counted just over 50 today. Im seeing the rewards of letting here veg for 100 days. I have been keeping the lights 1-3 inchs away and she is loving it, feeding here every 3 days now and watering WET/DRY....simple as it gets.








THE ISSUES

Three lower fan leaves are pretty much donzo, not sure what it is. Def not bugs...maybe nute burn? I also heard that lower fan leaves start to die in flowering...not really to worried about it. Take a look.


CLONES

Really down to three good clones, two are just about 16 days from cutting....7 days from 24/0 (just till root) and now have been in 12/12 for few days. They are growing very slowly...i have a feeling as soon as they get a steady root system goin they are goin to flurish...both are def female. As for the expierment with the indica clone....after it was cut it was put right into 12/12 befor it even had root system just to see what it did. The thing is starting to flower! Day like 6 of it being cut and its got nice lil hairs....expierment to say least well see what happens.




MISC PICS

God, I love these plants.

sup man they looking good, besides the yellowing , im flowering also and wen my leaves turn yellow ther just yellow i dont get those little brown holes like yours, i dont kno the cause of that or i dont even kno if u should worry about it ,since im on my first grow myself, but im just saying this from my experience best of luck to you tho.

Thanks guys yeah im not sure early on somone thought it was maybe spider mites but def not bugs....dont really think its goin to hurt me any. Damn.... WHERE AM I, looks like you have been adding light how many you up to now? For how many plants?

I'm @ like 18 for 8 . Next grow will have more , more , same space and a new technique, as well.

man hows ur light bill with all those cfls?

The same month that I started the CFL's, I started unplugging the power that is @ the house my grow room draws power from. I started using the lights on the 1st, started unplugging shit on the 16th, and my electric bill went DOWN $80.00!

I dont see much of a dif in the electric.....

WHERE AM I----- Say that again in simpler terms....sorry to many bong hits... Are you saying it went up using the cfls?
DO you know ballpark of how many watts or lumens one plant needs? Or like some type of lumens per square foot??? Just not sure how to gage it.

NO! My bill went DOWN!!!! Thats 'cause I replaced all the lights in my house w/CFL's, only do laundry & dishes before 10 am or after 6 pm, & anything that is not CURRENTLY being used is off & unplugged!
