Project : Unknown Strain, Grow Journal 1 ( CFL )

Thanks bro!

Yea these little cfl grows are so fun. I just started ,mine and already I cant wait till next grow!

Yeah im starting to get hooked myself, I got 7 plants going, I cant fit no more, but boy I would if I could lol! Good luck, lemme know if you get pics up on nethin..

Yea for sure man, im gonna post some pics tonight

hey man thanks for checkin mine out. yea our grows are pretty similar and mine looked about the same at day 10. the only thing i would reccommend is more lighting, i had 6 26w lights when i was vegging and i prob shoulda had more. the thing is once they get bigger you have to upsize your pots accordingly, people say 1gallon per foot of growth others say 1gallon per month of growth either way your looking at 2-3 gallon pots so once you do that everything spreads out and the lights that used to be right over all your plants are now only over 1 or 2... so with that being said for 7 plants your going to need alot of CFLs.
Personally Im still trying to figure out exactly how many lights per plant you should have, I have 4 and Im probably going to get more soon. Youve prob heard about HPS lights by now and if I could I would def get 1 its just they are pricey and put off alot of heat. But if you can you should then with 1 light you could grow all those plants with ease!

No problem, thanks for checkin mine out as well! Yeah I got like 12 lights in all, so 8 aside. I usually grow outdoors in the summer, so this is just and experiment to have some bud for winter. I prolly wont end up with 7, I did that just in case some are males, so I can at least have a good shot at a female.

And the way Ive seen alot of CFL grows on here and through the net, im not gonna go that expensive route, what we are doing seems to be working fine.

I got all my nutrients and everything ready too.

Im not real worried about the size of the pot cause there is a guy on here that grows HUGE buds with CFL's in 20 oz gatorade and mountain dew bottles, no lie.

Thanks for checking mine out bro, we should keep exchanging info, Ill keep checking yours out too. Im gonna take more pics when they are 21 days old.

Merry Xmass!

Excellent thanks. haha alright I had it in my head that you were going to have 7 plants all the way through... in my head i was like whaaaat youre gonna need some lights son. haha. are you serious about the gatorade bottle grow? cus if so send me the link cus im super interested right now!

LMAO, nah I did that so when I find the males, I can pull those bastards up and smoke them while I await the ladies

Here is the link to this dudes page, you can grow CFL MONSTER buds, with the setup's we are using...Tell me if this aint crazy!

Thanks......Thanks to a hurricane, there is a are of my closet that has a hole through the floor ( my house is built on blocks ), so that being, I could make an better area if I wanted, I just dont want growing boxes all over the place lol.

The area im working with is like 3 feet wide and about close to 38 1/4 inches, so a little over 3 feet high.

I try to make the grow area as much as the enviroment as possible.

Temps stay between 84-87 hum. 30-38%

I use soaked egg shell water right now when I transplant, no nutes yet. I water with filtered water, every 3-5 days. I used the egg shell thing outdoors from when my brother grew he did that with some and did some without, and the concentrate of the eggs shells natural nutrients really did make the stalk heatlthier, its working on mine already.

The nutes I have are Shultz 10-15-10
Flowering: Super Bloom 12-55-6

I know they arent the best, but its all Im gonna have for this go round.
Basicially any yeild I will be happy with, for I have not had bud in like 3months so being a smoker you know, somethin is better than nothing.

Thanks for stoppin bye brotha!

More pics in a few...

Damn man, after ya read the above post, I checked my small 7 dayers and the light fell on the fuckers and burned them. I now have 2, 7 dayers and my now 11 dayers ( the good ones ). I have fixed the lighting now, so I made sure I wont be dealing with that again. But hey, the bright side is now I got 1 6500k for each plant, the only thing that sucks is my odds of a female out of 4 drops.

So now Im down to 4.....Tip of the day...SECURE YOUR FUCKING LIGHTS LOL!

Here are some pics on my grow area now...

have you looked at the t5's? I know the bulbs they sell at the pet store where i got my 3' dual t5 fixture had some blubs that put out hella lumens, dont recall them rite now but im looking to start a stealth grow in my house and im trying to decide on t5's or cfls, either way im subing in on this thread now too!

Yeah I thought about that, but Id go CFL's brotha. I mean, If you look, for 10 days and the way they are not stretching, and being year old bagseeds, I didn't think they would bush out like they did. I mean Im not gonna update with pics til 3 week old,I dunno I might tomorrow, but just since those pics, they have gotten another node and a full set of leaves. They are really going.

Im knocking on wood hard though lol. CFL's are cheap too.

My camera is not that good, so Ill bring it outside when I take the next pics, but there are full leaves on the inside of each side of the nodes, I mean this sucker is bushy as shit.

I wonder what kinda strain it is. I know it looks Sativa, but it could be a mix.

Perlite, I seen alot of growers using just perlite and having good results, so I mixed my medium with mostly perlite and I think that has made the most difference.

Thanks for dropping by and let me know when you begin!

Peace

Well I must say, im actually nervous. Not only have I NOT used nutes, but they are growing too well. I know that sounds dumb. But 17 days in without nutes from year old bagseeds, plus im on my first indoor grow, cmon. I mean maybe to you guys its not all that but to me its HUGE..

It's working on the 5th node now, and its soo bushy, I cant even get in there to see anything.

I dont know whether to start to flower in week 3 or 4 or what, Im tryin to get at least a quarter sack out of the 2 if they are female, so my other ones will be getting ready by the time im out.

I dont smoke that much, just when I wanna kick it.

Im pretty much at a stalemate what to do now, I feel they are growing good, and something bad is coming. GOD I hope not.

I got my nutes ready, but Im kinda standoffish to use them, any info will be kindly appreciated..Pics below, peace.

Well it's day 21 using no nute whatsoever yet. I personally think they are doing good, but it's my first indoor grow so I dunno. Im kinda running out of room and I know it's early, but I need to start looking into the next level, flowering.

They are 8 inches tall, one smells citrusy, the other has no smell at all, go figure.

I guess what I need to find out, is at this point, what is earliest I can start flowering to have a '' decent '' yeild, assuming both are female?

sorry to hear about the burnd ladies but lookin good other than that. Go light on the super bloom at first then increase till u notice stress...

Thanks for stopping by bro. So your sayin if I start flowering now, I could have a decent yeild, assuming they will be female?

Yea you can if you want, if it's a good strain you should get 10-14g each maybe more if you get everything right with no problems along the way.. The leaves look like my Maui Wowi does and I can flower it at 3" and it will finish at 15-17" and be 6-9g but if I top it and let it branch out I can get 10-14g

Here they are at 22 days. Im surprised they have gotten to 9 inches almost in that period without nutes.

Here are some pics. I might just start flowering, gonna have to soon ne how..

What yall think?

I havent watered in 4 days, they are due, I water every 4 days thus far.

In that watering Im finally gonna add a light amount of Shultz, some Big bloom, and some fish emulison I bought today.

I got some molasses too, for the end.

Im gonna start out with super light mixtures, dont wanna mess with something that ain't broke.
