oh ok, Im using warm CFL's as well, but im using them start to finish...
but your grow seems to be going nicely. its growing at a slow pace..but most females grow slowly, so thats a good early sign.
she looks healthy, all except what you had to cut off, keep that cfl about 3"-4" away...im still having nightmares of my heat stress






if she stretches some thats fine, just bury the stem, by adding more soil to the top.

and if you arent doing so already, switch the lighting cycle to 18/6 if you have a timer, that will encourage more new growth and help develop the root system. you'll notice it when you see the bright green on your plants.

congrats on the new seedlings! hopefully you'll have enough light for them too.
thanks, so yeah i just moved the lights a lil closer, and i've had a timer since the day i started the grow on 18/6. i do hope i have some females

Today i watered the plant with ph water of 6.6. And the plant seems alot healthier simce it got burnt, took some advice and put more soil to make the plant shorter and better root development. It is still under a 13w 4100k, im using that one because it looks as the correct spectrum for vegative growth.

As for the sprouts 3out of 5 made it and here they are. I have them under a 20w fluoro, going to add a fan to them tommorow.

Well here are some pics feel free to asl questions comment etc...













how do u guys see, is it going good ?/

Very nice man.. Check out that secondary growth already! doing a good job..your CFL isnt burning the plant that close? I guess thats good. I just learned this: The plants strech based on light intensity; the more intense, the less stretching...its no wonder why your plant isnt reaching yet, the light must be SUPER intense where its at. Nice job again, hopefully no burn.

Well yesterday this plant was very droopy even more when i watered it, so after i watered it like3 laters i gave it some frsh co2. Been watering with water ph of 6.6 and giving it some plant food, and now its seem as it's concetrating more on it's sidegrowth. I think today is the day that i take this plant and leave it outdoors what do u guys think ? the reason this was just an experiemnt the real grow is about to begin

Also i haded more soil and made it shoerter because it looked as if more roots were developing on the stem above the soil.


I had took off that 13w cfl inside the reflector and replaced it with 2 26 w daylight cfl's. But the plant seems to like the 13 w better lol

Well here are two shots of whenit was droppy and when it was better.

if u have any ?'s or comments just hit me up and we'll handle

I am ALWAYS SO IMPRESSED with how well CFLs do. Supposedly they don't have the compacting power that HID lights have, but I think I can make up for that, just add more lights. I'll be starting my real grow soon also. I'm using 28 CFLs, its insane, I can't WAIT to see what kind of growth I can get out of lighting like that... I love your grow though, I mean I'm really impressed. This is an excellent example of someone growing thriving healthy MJ Plants with next to nothing, I mean seriously what do you have like, 46 bucks tied up in this? If that? I wish there were MORE posts like this...
