To Much Red?

ok i grew these plants to about 6 inches tall and forced flowerd them. now im on day 22 of flowering and i noticed some of the pistols are turning reddish brown. Is it to early for this to be happening? is it normal or is it because i forced it early on. also, does this mean i might have to harvest early?!?! and help would be great!

Hello Senior Blue

It is fine... not 100% normal.. but it could just be your gentics and the lack of adequate light..

what kind of light are you using?

great pictures

iloveyou

actually its my first grow and i am scraping for dough so i just use a 100w desk light. it has been good for a while but i notice it is stretching alot and the overall yield is smaller than it can be.

i understand... YOU HAVE TO GO GET AS MANY CFL lights as you can.. and surround your plant with these lights....

cheers

how about if i put aluminum foil around the walls do you think that will increase the yeild at all???

i traded out the 100W for a 200W. that should be enough for the 2 plants right? itshould increase the yeild?

if you go buy even a couple 42 watt compact fluorescents you will get way more lumens (more light) and you will use less energy which will save some money on the electric bill...if you want to use 200 watts i'd recommend getting 4-5 of these 42W cfl's...and since your in flowering, get the warm colored ones ..hope this helped

Yup, your'e on the money..
But i'd maybe say get 2 x 42w cfls(Light Equivalent to 200w bulb) with reflectors of some sort to utilise the light as much as possible and for less light wastage...(even takeaway food trays work ok if youre really on a budget)for the canopy and then get 6 x 20w cfls (Each 20w cfl is equivalent to 100w regular bulb) for the sides etc...
That would give you a rough 1000w of light.,and you still stay within the 200w power consumption range..
I use the following...
2 x 42w Warm White (2700k)
4 x 20w Warm white/cool white(2700k-4000k)
2 x Daylight (6500k) To provide a lil blue in the color spectrum to create a more natural light.<<---- this 2700k-6500k Kelvin rating is on the box info.
This should be more than ample for a coupla plants

Tin foil??? No, it creates hotspots.. either paint it FLAT/MATT white(not Shiny) or buy some mylar you can get it for a reasonable price from ebay or maybe a local store.
jus my 0.2

looks right to me

nice healthy lookin grow btw.

they look good for only having a regular light like frosty said get some cfl's and they will love em. I was suprised how well they take to them.
