As always, would love any advice or opinions. Growing under CFLs so I know the advice to move to MH/HPS is coming...
So here is my main grow, about three weeks into flower. The three tall ones on the left are getting taller than I was expecting. They are Critical Yumboldt.
On the right of the picture above is one G13 Cheese (attitude freeebie). Much shorter than the CY, although according to every seed site, it should be taller! Here's a pic of one of her buds.
Here's a 12-12 from seed test I am doing on a bag seed under a 50W dual spectrum LED in a little cab built out of a wire kitchen rack. She grow way too tall so as you can see, I did some extreme super cropping to her. But she seems fine. It was all done about two weeks and no signs of herm
The light went out on me (only about 20% were working) so that hurt me. But I got it replaced and buds have been swelling up since. I am wondering if the height issues were caused by the light failure but I am not sure exactly when it happened... All in all, I like her given that I had minimal expectations, just did it for the fuck of it.
Lastly in another cab just like the LED one I have this clone from the Critical Yumboldt under two 32W 6500K CFL. Plan is to veg and lst her while the main grow finishes and use her as a mother to clone for next grow (I only have one tent to use for both full veg and flower - no perp grow). Since the Crit Yum are growing so fast on me, I am pondering seeing how many clones I can pull and doing a 12-12 on them to reduce height a little. In other words, I can currently only fit four plants at most under my CFLs to keep them close if I do a normal veg time. So I am thinking of trying to put down twice that and go 12-12 once the clones are established. Good idea? Bad idea?
These are my third grow really. First was a distaster but great for learning. Second was good other than cloning off a herm
So far this grow has been wonderful and without a hitch (knock on wood as I have a while to go).
Would love any thoguhts and hope it shows to newbies that we can get comfortable with the grow if we don't go overboard (I did too), learn, and think. More than giving answers, I find RIU gives me many perspectives that I can ponder and decide what to do for my situation.
Please check out my journal to see my set up. I am VERY happy with the halo drip system I put together and there's a video of it in my journal.
PEACE!
