Hey man with 41 days of veg, how much do you hope to get from those girls? also do you mean 4 girls of each strain so 12 total plants? or does that mean you have 1258w of light for 4 plants? giving each girl about 315w? or is it more like 105w per plant with 12 girls? either way kudos they look awesome man!

I have 4 plants, 3 feminized Landrace Columbian Gold, 1 Blue Widow, however I took clones from both of them. But the 4 gals are under 900watts, 2700k, 45000+ lumen right now, my clones are under 500watts, 6500k. Growing w/CFLs wattage and lumens are the key, but just as important is moving your CFLs daily and mix up the spectrum. My 1st grow I did not use the 43watt and 46 watt CFLs, now I do, I double them up w/a Y socket...

Current grow w/mixed spectrum 43watters & 46 watters on Y socket

I could post photos all day on this thread. I get suggestions from other growers to grow w/hps lights. Why??
Any CFL grower knows that CFLs can do a great job. Watts, lumens and light placement is how growers get Grade A bud imo...helps also to know what your doing as well. Also anybody thinking about an aero-hydro or DWC or hydroponic grow, those set-ups also get great bud as well, of course so does organic, but had to mention a few grow methods. I love my CFLs and what they can do

1st Grow back in 7-10

Hey guys, I'm trying to grow a single cola plant and I was wondering If there is anything different that I have to do to the plant. I also was wondering will a single cola plant yield more than the LST method.

Yeah! How did you get colas that big? + rep with that grow man!!!

top the plant twice, then train the plants out far away from the center lollipopping along the way, once they reach the edge of your pot or even a little further let them grow upwards. that way you can keep the center clear of big fan leaves that block light to the lower area of the colas. make sure you rotate the pot daily as well. i use Fox Farm's Beastie Bloomz from week 5 till week 8 which REALLY helps swell up the buds nice and fat.

that's how i do it. when i get my next clones make sure you follow my grow that goes with them and you will see. good luck!

lollipopping is when you cut everything below your main cola so there is no small bottom nug. this forces the plant to concentrate on the main top colas and makes it much thicker. when done right your stem and cola look like a lollipop.
