First Official cfl grow

Ok, now I will put pics of plant, Day 1, Sept. 6. Thru yesterday. After I LST'ed her. (hopefully a her lol)

Ok, now for more. That was like the first 2 wks or so. Now onto the newer ones. I am trying to not put too many pics in 1 post, and also doing my best to make sure the pics are in proper order of days. Here goes!

So there you have it. I am on Day 24. I topped the plant at about Day 20. I LST last night, Day 23. Today, she is already growing back up towards the lights! So fast! I am going to wait until tomorrow, then I am going to continue the LST on the top branches. I want to grow it in a circle around the container. Save space that way. Let me go take a pic of her right quick, show how she has already grown to the light. be right back. stoned.
Ok, took 2 pics. Not the best photographer. Was a bit shaky on this one. But here she is, day after LST. I got her bent at a pretty good angle, I think.

hey allforit... I'm sub'd... she looks great. I am trying to do the same in a similar cab grow with FoxFarms OF. see my link in my sig.

what kind of temps are you getting?

Thanks for stopping by, Easy420! To be honest, I have no idea on temps/humidity at this time. I have yet to buy a thermometer. I have my house temps hovering between 72 and 78 most of the time, and I have an exhaust fan that does a great job of removing the heat caused by the lights. I would guess median temp to be around 75 or so. It's never hot in there when I open the box. And she is growing like crazy, so it must be ok. Ok, I admit it, I am too cheap to buy a temp reader lol. That would be the only thing I would use it for, and that seems like a waste of money lol. I can tell the temps in there are ok lol. I will post more pics tonight, as I just looked in on her, and wow, lots of top growth since the lst. Tons of it. This is going to be one heck of a bushy plant.

if your temps are in the 70's in the grow box... you are set. You can buy a temp gauge at Lowes for less than $5.00 btw. Good luck.. look forward to the updates.... peace

Ok all, here is an update! For some reason, I couldn't get my camera to take very good pics this morning. Afternoon, whatever lol. They are turned out too dark. I will try to remember to take more pics later this afternoon, when it's in the box, I always seem to get decent vivid pics when I have all that good light in the background lol. But here she is, Day 27. Almost time to start nutes. Almost.

how is the soil? they look over watered or under watered. healthy green though. wow easy to correct and recover from over under water as long is it wasn't too extreme and it doesn't appear so. peace

looking good man. i need to learn more about lst for my Blue cheese. how long did u wait before u pull her over for the first time?

Ok, as I said before, I wanted to add some better pics. I got some now. Just took these.
Basically, they are close up to show the new growth. I have a ton of new growth after the LST.
Easy420, I don't think they are under or over watered, but I could be wrong. When I took those earlier pics, the soil was dry on top, and I watered the plant after I took the pics. I water about every 3days. I usually water it until it's good and moist, then drain the extra water out of the water catcher on the bottom of pot.
Woonins, I waited for about 3 1/2 wks before I LST. I don't think you need to wait that long if your plant is getting tall though. My plant is very short to begin with. I wanted to LST to make use of all the grow sites on the plant as much as possible, I am growing in a very small space and want the best yield I can get. So I am going to start nutes on Day 31, and just continue to LST in a circle around the container. Let it get full sexual maturity, then I am going to induce flowering. I am really hoping for 2 OZ out of this grow. I think if I do it right, just keep doing what I am doing, I can get 2 OZ. It's very bushy, which will mean lots of buds.

look great.... gonna be nice.

Thanks easy420! By the way, what made you think (and you might be right that the plant is over or under watered? I'm curious, because if I am doing something wrong, I would really like to know lol. What did you see that caused that to jump into your mind? Drooping leaves? Spots? etc. let me know Always trying to learn, this is just my first grow.

drooping leaves, yes. That was my first thought... from what I have researched it can be over or under watering result

happy plant!

Gotcha. Thanks Easy420, for the info. Are all the leaves supposed to be all upright and such? Corum, thanks! Yes, she seems pretty happy lol. Hope she continues that way lol.

Nothing really new to report today. She is growing for sure lol. I am going to do another LST tomorrow evening, will post pics as soon as I am done.

Hey Everyone! I think I have preflowers!!! Not 100% sure, but I think I do. I was looking at the nodes today, and checking the branches and all that, and I do definitively see some type of preflower. Unless it's just more branches, lol, but I don't think so. I will take pics asap. Not sure I can capture this on camera, but will try!

Hell yeah. Sub'd

sweet... cant wait to see the pic after LST. If levaes are ever drooped and curling on the edges... that's what i'd look for

peace
