My Grow.

June 23rd, 2008

4 weeks and one day I to flowering; I was given advice to put some more lights in my grow room. So I hooked up 2 CFLs close to my plant along with my agro lite which keeps it pretty warm in there. I will also be adding a tablespoon of molasses per gallon of water along with the ferts.

Picture update:

Get rid of that agro light and get some more cfls. The agro light is not the right one to grow under. Here are some cfls that would be good. 30W GROW LIGHTS 5000K COMPACT FLUORESCENT LIGHT BULBS - eBay (item 300235059564 end time Jun-29-08 09:55:53 PDT) 7000 LUMEN~500w13"Huge PLANT GROW LIGHT BULB+FREE GIFTS - eBay (item 330246226433 end time Jul-01-08 12:15:28 PDT) I know you told me hps was out of the question, so this will have to do. You can of course buy the cfls at home depot, except I think for the last one...thats a monster!!!

Those are the same nute's I've been using Miracle Grow bloom booster 15-30-15. How are they working for you?

They are working very well, I am only using about half a tablespoon per gallon. It is blooming very nice. I have however added a tablespoon of molasses to the water as well.

Nope, I live in Canada. I can share a website with you but you're going to have to PM me. It is very safe and secure, everything is explained on the website.

Heres a picture update on the changes I have made. Eventuall I'll be putting more CFLs.

Well it has been a week and one day since my last entrée. I just got back from camping and my plant is looking better and delicious! The buds are getting way bigger, the CFL’s have lowered the heat in my grow area and my plant is making a steady slow progress. I have used a tablespoon of molasses and a table spoon of ultra bloom for nutes in a 4L milk jug. BTW: New pictures.

i feed it about once a week.

I'd say feed it a weaker concentration, then, or feed it overy other week.

I just finished testing like 10 different makes and wattage CFL's .

I strongly suggest getting some of these 55w bulbs since you are limited on space. They are wider for better light distribution and run cooler than the regular shaped 42w . I'll be using them for side/supplemental lighting from now on .

I will consider that for my next grow. I'm short on cash.

make sure to suscribe

Jesus my room REAKS! I'm anticipating harvest around the end of this month. Patience is key .

They have some odor absorbing gel for like three bucks a pop...get the orange stuff, it works well.

I took off the burnt leaves. Hope it doesn't cause to much shock to the plant. I have done it before. I am trying to get all the energy to the bud sites.

GROWFAQ Look at sulfur and tell me if your plant is doing any of that.If it fits the description, try feeding with some sulfured molasses.If all of your stems are red, nevermind.

Some deficiency during flowering is normal, but too much shouldn't be tolerated. Red petioles and stems are a normal, genetic characteristic for many varieties, plus it can also be a co-symptom of N, K, and Mg-deficiencies, so red stems are not a foolproof sign of P-deficiency. Too much P can lead to iron deficiency.

its more of a redish color. but the plant seems healthy.
