View attachment 3351797 Hi all this is week 3 flower 23 days exactly I've taken a pic every day since she popped I'm running 330w of cfls 2 55w 7 26w and 1 42w cfls in a 13" x 22" cabinet I've fim'd topped and Scroged this plant their is somewhere around 50 bud sights the canopy is about 1.5 sq ft. With 20,000 lumens spread evenly across it about 3" from tops I have defoliated to a medium degree not comfortable stripping to the extent of others I've seen mine is mostly to expose shadowed areas and better light penetration to lower nodes I'm growing in my own mix which hasn't needed anything added nute wise cept bone meal (2wks flower) and micro here and there it consists of composted straw and cow manure mixed with seed starter 50/50 and 1/3 volume perlite it drains extremely well I've poured 3 gal of water in my 2.5 gal pot with no signs of drooping at all the trichs started being visable week 1.5 and they are completely ridiculous I've not seen them like this this early ever before my goal is 3 oz of this plant all the math adds up 1/3 gram per watt and all that ( cfl) she's happy and healthy minimal probs thus far few def and 1 slight nute overload all caught early within 24 hrs n corrected 42 days veg by the way all questions concerns/advice welcome and appreciated let me know what you think?

Day 24 flower

Day 25

Nice work dude, looks great

Thanx east coast!!

looks great! i started with cfl's used for 2 grows then switched to hid. hid are much easier but some of my nicest buds have come from cfl's.

That plant spread out real nice with all the fim'd/topping! Do you know the strain?

Its critical sensi star and I did a ridiculous amount of training to spread it like that. H bob ive used hid before 400 w but I'm waiting on my led to come in I've done the research and I'm making the switch diamond series XML 350!!

Day 42 flower getting close

good luck with the led! your plants look extremely healthy.

Thanks bob can't wait for the light so much better than the cfls though I'm not knocking them they have served their purpose well

that is how i feel about them. i just look at it like i want the best tools to make my job the easiest it can be.
i ran a 500w grow with all 23w cfl's. pain to move and adjust bulbs all the time.

the plant in the grass was my first indoor grow done with cfl's pulled 5.5 ounces off 2 liberty haze
other is a blue widow done under cfl's then went to hid.

Wow dude I love the colors what do you do to make that happen to that extent or is it just the strain

I dont care what anyone says, those buds are sick for using cfls hey! I still use them when i only want a small grow for perso. I use my 400 or 600w when i use my hydro system and grow one monster

mostly strain but my temps can get down to as low as 55 at night. i know its a bit of a big swing from 75-55 but my plants do not seem to show any ill effect. this the first critical cross you have done? i am on my first one with critical kush. just wondering if you know how the potency of these are?

tried sending messages and writing a post and ive had no reply... my profile picure is wat my scrog looks like, but i think its abit over packed out...... what should i do.... any advice is brilliant.... thanks...plz will you msg me cos i dont no how to get back on this page... thanks
