Advanced biodiesel mass under a 125w cfl, used a blue 125w cfl the first 2 weeks then switched to red cfl and growing a lot quicker so I should of used the red cfl from the beginning me thinks, is she looking ok and is the size ok for day 23? Growing in coco coir feeding bio bizz organic nutes,
also when should i switch to a 250w hps as i have a dimmable ballast is it worth growing 1 plant under a 400w or just stick to the 250w? Regards.

grab a y spilter and use both u will see a much better improvement ......they sell them in home depot for like 2.74 it is for sockets u screw in and u can use 2 bulbs in one socket

ok.....buddy i just started i am tring to give u a hand here .........u picked a good strain but u need more lumens for later

your at the point where u should make 2 choices
1 to top or not to (topping is waiting for one more set of fan leaves to come out then u cut the top part off forceing the 2 little branchs under it to convert them self into two top Colas(the good bud part)

2 is ScrOG Screen of Green

u should look up both methods now and make your choice while u can

next part is u need more lumens to gain a good yeild this is proven if u think u can jerry rig it skip it just go with the proven methods fork the cash out and get the bigger lights ..............t5 set ups are nice the 4 foot has 5 choice of bulbs including a uva system to encourage resin productions .........the best i am seeing is Cool tubes system with reflectors with combo bulbs (but this cost little more do to the fact u need a strong fan for the air drawl out )

i am doing that strain my next grow ..... 2 foot 8bulb t5 a 3ft sq scrog set up 2 plants ....that should be 1 meter square for each so 200 grams each crossing the fingers

Ok just added a 600w dual spectrum hps and dimmed it to 250w, I've heard with autos it's best to let them grow naturally as they may not recover in time from the stress of topping/training.

I dont understand anythin to do with these cfl lights...ive always thought they were rubbish up against a hps light! But like I said I know nothing about cfl's, im using a 600w hps on nirvana's northern lights and I think it's amazing! Just need a good air flow coz of the heat. Mine are on week 5 and reaching between 26-36 inches! Flowering like mad :-D

looks good to me ..toping the plant wil add about 2 weeks on the total grow time ( i did it to berry ryder her sisters are flowering she is just starting to show flowers )

u should see results with in 5 days ..................the last trick i have to share i just learned

put your hand over the plant so the palm is touch and the back of hand is facing the light hold it there for 30 secs if your hand feels warm from being there the light is to close to the plant
