Thanks for your comments, I'm not sure as this is my first grow, I'm using 14 26w total for the hole grow, veg and flower, If I had to take a guess I would say at least 40w per plant, also that would probably depend on the girth.

I will definitely check out your journal, thanks for posting the link.

For the Nuts you should have a chart that came with it. If not go to the web site. This will give you all the info that you need.
I hope you relize how big these will get. Mabe not as big sence you are using cfls but big. so I hope you have room for them. I have read so many threads about how the plants didn't have enough room at the end of the grow. I was just talking to someone that grows on a bigger level and how like one plant will grow to around 5 to 6 feet high and 2 to 3 feet wide. I never relized how much space they will need.
Anyways keep up the good work

Thanks logan, I think I may hold off on the bloom for at least another three weeks, that will make a month flowering without bloom and the remaining month or so I'm going to ad the tiger bloom and molasses every other feeding, please correct me if this shall be a mistake.

From what I understand the size of the plant greatly depends on the size of your pots, also you can't exclude conditions, I haven't seen an outdoor plant in a five gallon bucket grow no bigger than 7 feet and that's outside, five of my plants are in three gallon buckets and they are growing girth more than anything.

I don't expect them to get over 5 feet so I'm thinking I have plenty of vertical space (approx. 6 feet) however I'm concerned about overall room as that bushy bitch is taking up a lot of ground space, It's funny looking down on her, you cant see the floor but when you bend down and look under her that's all you see .. is floor, I'll have to capture this on camera also I do have a tailgate net just incase they do grow too tall.

BTW! your babies are looking sweet! why didn't you tell me sooner how far along you are, I can't wait to see them in another month, keep up the great work!


Again thanks guys for all the positive feedback! I should be posting more pictures within the next few days.

humboldt is my CFL blood brother! Keep up the good work!!

any clones yet humboldt?

Yeah, where da white women (read: clones) at?

thanks for the help, i currently have 2 65w a 2 40 some watts lamps, i gotta get some more

No problems majim, thanks for stopping by my pad, yeah more light the better, I don't think you can have too much light, I have like 360 something watts going in the one flowering room, I plan to flower with that to see what I end up with, I thought about adding a 40w in every other socket but with 40watters being like 10 bucks a piece, that would be like 70 bucks.

Iv'e already spent too much on this cfl grow, If I would of had the patients I could of got everything I needed for a nice hps grow .. totaling all the money I spent thus far, my plants seem to be doing ok with what I got, I will be getting an hps system here shortly for the next go round flowering.

Thanks for the good words and that would be more like CFL fiber optic brothers

No I'm putting that on hold because I'm starting to run out of room, I have three and two possible girls in veg to play with in the near future, although I may practice on the remaining males in the mean time.

As for the clones that I had already tried seemed to be dying, so last night I dug them up to see if I can find any signs of root growth, one out of three had a single root shoot, I hurried and stuck all three back in the dirt, gave em a bit of water and stuck them back in the room, now it's sit and wait.

WTF? Sorry I do not speak that language . lol . what are you trying to say?

are those just the organic plugs? I use a Ready gro super plug-consist of a sponge like material made from comosted tree bark and organic indgredients. Is the same thing that you have?

Click to expand...

Logan I'm sorry, I forgot to answer the above question, the starter/rooters look a lot like yours but all it says that it's made of the composted tree bark, no other ingredients, have you had good luck using them? it says to put about a half inch of water in trays to maintain moister, dip cutting in root jel, stick in rooter/plug and put on dome, sit and wait, sounds pretty easy eh.



Day #10 flowering! for bushy bitch and small c*nt Day #4 flowering! for mediocre sl*t

I'm soo happy right now bushy bitch and small c*nt are starteting to show there stuff, I'm seeing lots of lil tiny buttons growing everywhere, check them out.

By looking at the pictures above, do those flowers look about right for ten days, or should there be more to them, I'm pleased with what I'm seeing thus far.

It's going to be very interesting keeping track of the two different stages, also I've been noticing a difference each and everyday of flowering, I have to say it's soo cool and can't wait to check them again tomorrow, expect lots more pics from here on out.

Please keeep the comments and advise coming, it helps with ones grow, thanks for everything and remember to post your links to your grow journals.

ahh yes i did read you were gonna practice on some males. i think i will get some cloning products soon.

Let the flowering begin! Good job.

they looking goergeus men keeo uo the good work really thinkinbg on experimenting on soil grow next time

they look great.

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate that very much!


Day # 11 flowering for bushy bitch & small c*nt and their updates,



Some more shots of bushy bitch and small c*nt, they are filling out nice I believe, can you notice a difference from yesterday pics? I sure can specially from my eyes view, starting to smell pretty good too!

Some pics of small c*nt, looking nice except some browning pistols near bottom,

That's mediocre sl*t right behind small c*unt, shes only on day 5, shes not showing much yet.

This worries me as I do not know if it is normal for pistols to turn amber or brown this early in flowering, to me looks like their dying.

This is important that I get all the advise or opinions on the browning pistols, the only thing I can think of .. is maybe not enough light reaching in that spot.

Please Advise!

i am no expert but i believe the proximity of the cfls to the plants has something to do with it. i was puzzled by the browning of new pistils in my own plant also. i have seen some other cfl growers with these same results. i also have new white pistils along with some brown or amber. i would like to hear some veterans thoughts on this also. as always humboldt the plants are looking awesome and happy. as an afterthought i see you said maybe these spots may be not getting enough light so i am wondering also.

are you still using the "daylight" cfl's to flower with hum? I've read that it's good to switch to red, or mix them, but yours look great under the daylight cfl's

I was informed by an inside man that it's normal for pistols to brown and die off at varies stages, it scared me at first but the rest of the plant is doing Awesome, I can't believe how well they are doing,, maybe we will get an expert in here to tell us more about the browning of the pistols.

wbinwv, I'm using 26w softwhite, I was very confused (still am actually) on what lights to use, I was informed that I was using the bulbs that are better suited for flowering, so I said wtf the plants are doing well why not continue to use what I've got for the hole grow to see what I actually end up with .. If I can get a decent yield by using the same bulb for veg and flower I would save money by not having to buy different shades of bulbs, however I want to do at least one plant under different shades .. Stay Tuned!

I don't expect them to get over 5 feet so I'm thinking I have plenty of vertical space (approx. 6 feet) however I'm concerned about overall room as that bushy bitch is taking up a lot of ground space, It's funny looking down on her, you cant see the floor but when you bend down and look under her that's all you see .. is floor, I'll have to capture this on camera also I do have a tailgate net just incase they do grow too tall.

Remember me stating this, well here's the pic,

She's taking up room for at least four decent sized plants but with all the damn branches that she has poking out of her looks like I'm gunna get quite a few cola like buds, so I hope that makes up for the space she's taking, it will definitely be interesting to see what she does.



Stay Tuned!

Glad to hear that there aren't any problems on the horizon.

heres a link to the cfl's i use. plus this company has a 68w cfl also.
http://www.tcpi.com/PDF/1217_1002 Revision 289 Series SS.pdf
i have the 65k(daylight) bulbs to use during veg. maybe next grow you might try the 65k bulbs during veg. and then use the 31k bulbs during flowering.
65k = mh lamp color
31-35k = hps color
since we started flowering at the same time i can post a couple pics of mine if you would like to see what stage im at.

hey hum looking very green healthy and lush. Early in my plants life they turned brown to i wouldnt worry.. new ones pop out everyday. Keep it going im sure it will turn out to be some bad ass ganja
