More light the better, keep it up man, in my opinion its all a big experiment, when you see what works best, you stick with it, I have CFLs all around my plants, on all sides.

do u have that for veg and flower? She seems pretty busy and I think were gunna flower in like 2 weeks max... Ive heard when using FF ur plant would get close to tripling in size. So I'm thinking of starting the transition to flowering by switching 2 lights over head to 2700k and moving those 2 6500k to the sides.. what to do... what to do...

we transplanted her and watered this morning, gunna try small dose of nutes in a couple days. Almost time to go break the bank and get some tiger bloom and molasses. I know its a ton of questions, but does the DIY co2 infusion work? soda bottles with yeast and sugar?

I'm really curious about LST. I'm down to do it but my girl likes watching the plant get tall and grow.. I know an answer is impossible, but about how much more would I expect? Extra 10 grams? I'm shooting for 1oz as is.

Me personally I think cfl and lst, or scrog should go hand in hand, but it is up to you,i say lst because cfl doesn't penetrate really good as it is, so to help get light down in there you got to "bend her over and open her up",giggity, so she can get the most out of it also this cause lower stem to turn into primary colas along with your middle stem from auxins being redirected to those branches more and not just the higher growth basically lst, or scrog puts all your buds on even terms and not just favoring your higher buds, check out my sig it will give you a walk through of at least the veg part would have been the entire grow but, was interrupted by the great crash and out deleted most of my flowering portion.

sweet! me and my lady decided to let our plant grow straight up since its our first one.. Our next 2 plants will be LST and all that jazz. This clone started with it "topped" for some reason, but it was nice because now we have 2 main shoots. I can't wait to start flowering.

Honestly man, I have limited experience but I have had my lights literally surrounding the plants since seedlings. Unclear what you meant about just moving the lights around to induce flowering, you actually have to shut the lights off - unless you're running an auto.

Also, I have no idea about the yeast man. I never tried that setup

no no no. right now my plant fits in between the fixture. so i have some of the lights angled down to hit all sides. But as she grows, Ill have to move lights to accommodate for the size.

What I said about flowering didnt make sense haha. Should i transition into flowering? Like switch out the bulbs one at a time, then once they are all 2700k, switch to 12 12? Or just switch all the lights and timer on random night?

Oh I gotcha. What I would do, is change the light type when you go 12/12. Your plant will come out of darkness with the new flowering lights. The darkness/light cycles are supposed to trigger the flowering so I think it makes most sense to just convert to all your flowering lights at that point. Some people say you should keep a mixed spectrum but I just go straight 2700s for flower. Check my grow in my sig, I have all 2700 on that budding plant and the little on I have the 6500's. I think once you flip the lights, just switch em out for flower too, would be what I would do.

You might want to transplant in to a 3gallon pot your pretty much ready to flower and your plant will need atleast 2 weeks to recover .

Day 9 Flower:
pH seems a little low at around 6. Temps are averaging ~90. Talked my gf into moving the clothes from the other half of her closet, surprisingly she did and now we have some more room to work with! Here are photos. Shes a girl!

p.s. Should I be worried about running out of room...?
