Second Post on my First Ever Grow with cfls

it's prob. just a little stressed from the transplant, just don't try to over do it (like we newbies tend to do), she'll recover, just give her a little bit! Remember after all, it's a weed

yeah ill see what she does just kinda worried cuz its gettin worse.....and shes female...i knoe shes a weed but now shes not growing like one lol

It's only a few days, she should be starting to get better soon. If she dries out and u must water - do not feed any nutes until u know for sure what it is. Do you have any more pics?

welll she woke up today lookin alot better i had trimmed off the set of leaves that are righ under the first set of true leaves. (they were basically dead anyway) i decided to do the tray of water under her bucket and will prob keep it that way for the rest off my grows....so calicatt you were right on here coming back soon...mad rep to ya...two more days and shell b goin into flowering here are pics

Don't see the new pics?

she looks alot better then b fore.


shot from under shes not to big but its my first time



i just dont like the browining on the bottom leaf

she does look soooo much better...YAY! Possibly that browning could be from the leaves trying to suck up water. I've done that to my plants before: I waited till it was slightly droopy to water and poured a tiny bit of water on a leave tip by accident, it got weighed down - sat in the dirt for a little bit and that's what happened to mine. Have you thought of cutting off only the dead spots of the leaf? I'm not sure if I would either seeing as she needs some more time to catch up to her old self. I'd find out from some people if you should just leave it alone or spear off the dead spots. But yes, she looks so much better already!

i know i was so happy....and i have trimmed leafs off my clone like that and seen no improvment...so i ended up just cutting the whole node off and shee came back good....but seein how shes so far im feelin what ur sayin......i may start to flower in a couple of days but still ponderin the thought

but should i touch the bottom nodes on my bigger plant....i have pulled her over and was wondering if i should just let it grow or cut some for moree light....??? Any ADIVCE

I'd prob. just leave it alone, but I'm a wimp when it comes to makin decisions like that I under-water for fear of over watering and I under-feed for fear of nute burn!!!! LOL!!!! But I swear, next feeding I'm going to give them all FULL STRENGTH

Good Luck man, I'm growing on some CFLs too hopefully we have good results. Here's some pics of mine and i'm subbed to check the progress
My White Widow today...My White Widow when I picked up on Saturday...My Tahoe OG, its makin a good comeback this is when it was at its worst...

Us small scale CFL growers gotta stick together.

well i cut one node off on the under side with less light and bullwinkle yes we do who ever thought you would be so paranoind about whats in ur closet...

Let me know how the plant responds to cutting that node off. I have a node way at the base of my plant (it was still about 3 inches above the top of the rockwool cube before transplant) it's growing but it's sooo much lower than the rest. Im most curious as to how long of a period it will have of slower growth, if any. I'd really like to change to 12/12 sometime next week

i just put her on 12/12 starting tonight i just changed th bulbs to three 26w 2700kand one 13w.....any advice would be awesome as to whats the best way to plan out the whole flowerin process...it is my first time.. and bullwinkle she hasnt really shown any bad signs off the node missing as you see i have another thats stll yellow but seems to be gettin better plz plz plz on the advice i would like to have some decent bud to smoke

u can lower da lights moar or if u want it to strech a bit is alright ;p i do that in 1swt couple of weeks in flowering then lower light to 2inchs

i had them lower but seemed to hot for the plant....and last night i had a little fuckin visitor in my closet...A MOUSE decided it would be nice to eat the tips of some of the leaves and dig up my medium hopefully nothn bad comes out of it......any other advice as to how long she may take

flowering can take 7-10 weeks , depends on strain, ( ive heard sometimes longer for sativas)
best get a trap for the critter. as for feeding: If your plant looks like it needs something check out the stickies on nute deficiencies.
I pretty much look at my plants and if they look like they need something i try to figure it out.( im on my first grow as well and thats what ive been doing)
its not a perfect science and each strain requires different things. If you go with nutes the best advice i hav seen is not too much.. start with 1/4 strength and dont feed it every watering then work your way up in strength.. most people who know more then I do have told me not to go full strength BTW it can also take 3-7 days to show whether you have fixed the issue.. read read and learn.. I owe my success so far to the knowledge ive learned looking at others gardens and all the info on RIU!! best of luck Budlover69!!!

THAT LITTLE SHIT!!! Kill the bastard......oh I would be sooo mad! I'd say 12 weeks is a good goal to set for flowering, always keep a watchful eye. Usually when you think they could maybe be ready, they ARE NOT !!! LOL

well i put a trap right in my pot last night the little fucker ate the mashed potatos dug up my medium again and didnt even set off the trap.....im verrrrry pissed over this as to why ive had no pest prblems at all till i put her in flower and btw cali she is over 12 weeks ....3day of flowering but havent seen any changes in the plant except for growth i fed her a little splash of food yesterday so in three or four more days ill feed again....wht should i be lookin for as far as when the buds will start to form?? and tonight im puttin traps alll over my medium so nothing is setting foot in there with out being fucked
