umm i was told it was purple haze but last i heard that stuff is rare so i doubt this guy (shady character ) would have it so i guess its bagseed. lolLooks great...

Do you know the strain or is it bagseed?

Looking good! For flower though i would use HPS...I'm not talking cuz I read some crap bout HPS beeing the best...ive done CFL grows with 400W and it isnt even near to the results of 400W HPS! But if u wanna flower using CFL, get as many in there as u can..LOL!

hey guys
time for an update, i trimmed my big plant a bit(i know your not supposed to cut many fan leaves off but there is a reason i did it(each of the FOUR main branches has 2 -3 new branches growing) i included a picture of my clippings just to show how much i cut.
has grown a ton since cutting off the less useful fan leaves. i do have a gnat problem so i wont be watering for a few days and i added a container of whine with plastic wrap over it(with some really small holes) to catch the adults(seen this done with fruit flies but i dont know how different gnats and fruit flies are because as much as i can see they look the same. anyways, what yall think?

just dont trim too much at one time, might stress the plant, and also dont take away too much leaves either, plants get ther energy through the leaves
EDIT: Also, how close to the plant u keeping ur lights? U can easily keep CFL's as close as 1-2 inches away from the tops.
//Keep it real! Peace, CaL!

lol i love that"keep it low" so keeping it short wont hurt yields or anything like that? cuz im not expecting to get much with my cfls in the first place (hence the long veg time) and i wouldn't want to loose out on yield if it is a girl

Dont veg it for too long though...those CFL's dont penetrate too far "into" the plant + first 3 weeks or so of flower, it is gonna stretch. Are there any drainage holes in the bottom of ur "pot"/bucket?!lol i love that"keep it low" so keeping it short wont hurt yields or anything like that? cuz im not expecting to get much with my cfls in the first place (hence the long veg time) and i wouldn't want to loose out on yield if it is a girl
Ima go take a pic of my LST plant...brb!
