Thanks for the advice 420, it is greatly appreciated. Idid LST last grow and it certainly worked to my advantage. I poan to pull these ladies down, i have just been lazy and with the holdays, to much family around to send any time in my garden. I read your thread and have found your conversations with SomeB to be somwhat inspirational. I think today will be a good day to spendwith my gals (wife included lol)Nice grow space WSW,
Thought I'd comment and say that you should check out my journal because I think you could benefit from the first half of it! I say first half because I caught a deal on Craigslist and upgraded to x2 150w HPS systems + CFL, from just CFLs.(got the pair for $125)
I've got some lights which are similiar to your in a way. I got them from Target with sorta the same vision you have in mind(I'd say).
But with CFLs, you don't want any height unless you can supplement that plant with adequate lighting down the sides.
You should aim for just as much light around the sides as you have from the top, so maybe drop some of the CFLs and that'd helpout a lot with the branching, and thickening them up. I kept all my CFLs within an inch and a half I'd say AT ALL TIMES.
Idk about you but i prefer bush with these women lol
Also bro, LST! bend your tops over if you can. Look up the word auxin in regards to the weed plant. But basically if you make the top of the plant no longer the top, it'll thicken out. If your stems arent too stiff you should start NOW! You still have time. Also, rotate them often. I also used a mixture of CFLS(65k,5k,35k,and 27k). I did a lot of reseach in regards to growing with CFLs and most of it you can get from the first half of my journal bro
I think you're a couple weeks behind me tho. I potted up 44 days ago.
Also some of the pics show either underwatering or overwatering whichever you think.
Good luck partner.
Last grow using cfl's from start to finish averaged 1.5oz dry weight per plant. I was very impresed with the outcome. I would post some photo's of my last grow however, my computer was stolen about 6 months ago and that is where all the pics were
Last time around i vegged with 100% 6500K bulbs and flowered with mainly 2700K and a few 65K. I had a bit of a heat issue the last go round but this time in my new space, temps are constant between 72 and 78. I think that perhaps when i flower i may have to use some supplimental heat to keep temps up when the lights go off. My garden is on an outside wall of my VERY old house and i think it will cool off quite quickly when it goes dark.Anyway 420, i enjoyedreding your thread, read it from start to finish. You seem like a level headed and educated man fr 24 years old. I myself am 43 but feel like 25 most days. Thanks for the inspiration. I welcome you to check back on progress and assure you i will be checking yours.
Peace
