You have done a nice job city based on some of the bad information that you have gotten. She looks good. I have used strictly 23w cfls for my grow and have had pretty decent results so far. My girl is on her 16th day of a 12/12 light cycle. I use, (8) total 23w bulbs. (6) 2700k and (2) 6500k for this part of the grow. I used the opposite while she was in vegging mode, (6) 6500k and (2) 2700k bulbs. GL and I hope you get a nice harvest. When do you think she will be done? I am guessing about 7-8 weeks?

Well today is the 30th day of flowering and I am planning on about 45-50 days of flower so about 15-20 days. It could go longer tho, a lot of the hairs are starting to turn red and I have started to flush them. The leaves have started to turn yellow but that's from the removal of the food. I too have a mixture of lighting I feel that it has done very well and I plan on using it in the future.

northern lights are suppose to flower in 7 to 9 weeks, isn't that a little bit too early for harvest ?

I have read 6-8 weeks. I'm in no hurry so I'm gonna wait till the trichomes are just right
Sounds good dude, sure she'll let you know when she's ready. Do you know how many litres is the pot you are using ? or maybe the size ?
Also how many days did you veg her before you switched to 12/12 ?

I too am doing an all CFL grow.. i got a clone from a buddie that was planted in the beginning of November.. I vegged it under 4 6500's until about 2 weeks ago.. right around Christmas I switch it to 12/12. its definately budding like crazy... the plant looks completely out of control since I pruned it early and had the branches coming out instead of up .. i'll try to get a pic up.

I'm using 6- 2700 cfls and one 15 watt tube.. i hope that will be enough.. oh the strain is LA Confidental pollnated by Mazar Sharif

lookin good bro. Definitely wait a little longer to pull her! My Northern Lights hybrid almost doubled her weight in weeks 6 and 7. My branches are all falling over because they can't handle the weight of the buds. Link to my journal in in my signature, you should swing by and check it out. Keep up the good work.
