I am about just under 3 weeks into flowering and i think it is budding like a champ. lol but this is my first grow, learned a lot from this. Any ideas for next time or anything i can do now to increase budding and my yield at the end of my grow?

use 23w cfls they are 2700k which is the red end of the spectrum which will help the plant recognize its flowering and it helps alot. u take 2 tablespoons of molasses or syrup per 2 liters of water and water your plant with that. i use syrup and my buds double in size it stimulates root growth through the micro organisms

I'm on my first grow and just started to flower (about 3 weeks in) my indica unknown strain. I've done the homework on using molasses and found about 1 to 1/12 tablespoons per liter is a good rule of thumb (sorry ladies). I feel in my small experience that it is helping to pack in the flowers. I am using a handful of 26 W CFL in warm and daylight to get a full spectrum out there. I am going to be switching over to all warm white this weekend. Good luck

I'm using a Rubbermaid and my space is a little smaller then his by the looks of it. maybe Im high =]
But to me it looks like he could fit a nice little 400 watt hps. So yes I'm serious!

thanx man, i will look into that, but i know that switching lights for CFL makes the plant change into flowering, but with HPS do you keep nthe power off for 24 hours and then turn it back on to a 12/12
