Is it slows down real bad ?

stamdima · Jun 8, 2008

I`ve started flowering my girl 2 weeks ago .. Under Cfls ..
Got about 150 watts of cool and warm bulbs (almost all warm) .. No light leaks .. two fans .. (in and out) .. Hydro system .. feedin em 3 times a day .. Gh nutes ..
All seems going well just too slow ! .. its not I`m not patienced it just a 2 days ago the triches began comin out .. seems a little late
Is it so slow because of the cfls lights ? Got some ideas guys ?

stamdima · Jun 8, 2008

No ideas at all ?!

pics.....? yea a little bit slow...but in my experiance the ones that go slow blow up eventually if you are patient. Feeding three times a day.....exceissive?

I guess she loves it .. I use rockwool and it dries pretty fast ..
This pic was taken 5 and a half weeks after seedling .. my first grow so I dont know really how fast it should grow but I guess they made it up pretty good .
I`ll update with some photos soon .

The thing I would have to ask you is how many watts do you have on that thing. Cause its really skinny. I would say try to add a little more lite to her and she will respond with grace. You wanna have at least 200-300 watts for a plant like that otherwise your wasting your time!!! Had to give it to ya tough (no homo) but its for the good.

day lookin healthy! But the reason they are going so slow is that u dont have nearly the right amount of light. U need to double ur lights to get a decent out put. But so far lookin good.

Yh you havnt got enough Lumen intensity
LOL that happened to me on my first on
Just add a 125w bulb try to get the better one 12000 lumens
Envirolites are becoming a more and more popular alternative to HID lighting. They are effective, energy saving, reliable

Like a 30w clf has 2000 Lumen intensity (so it cant penetrate the bud deep enough thats why you get reli small buds)
125w Envirolite cfl 12000 Lumen intensity (Envirolites can penetrate bud ok still not great but still with more light it will)
a 400w hps has around 55000 Lumen intensity (hps will penetrate bud great up to 10 ft away)

But thats the REASON it grow fast in veg but not in FLOWERING

On the top of the plant I got 60W and 32W 2700,warm .. and another 2 32W warm and cool bulbs from the bottom ..
I'll buy a 100w lamp soon .. wanted to put an HPS but its too hot inside of closet ..
Is there somethin I can do about her being skinny ? Can i feed her or something ?

stamdima · Jun 9, 2008

Here are some updated photos from today ..
13 days into flowering (already !) :spew:

stamdima · Jun 10, 2008

What do you think guys , can I make her become bushier ?? Or is it too late now ?

gangjababy · Jun 10, 2008

it's too late now...

tusseltussel · Jun 10, 2008

let me get this right 2 weeks into flowering right not sure what you expect ive seen a lot of plants that don't even show sex until 2 weeks or more and ive grown a lot of pot 2 weeks hmmm are you just impatient and and over loving plants do put most there weight on in the later stages of flowering. i get impatient with plants still after growing for like 8 years ya just gotta hang in their if the plant looks healthy let it ride oh and you sure you got your terms right trichs don't normally start coming out 14 days into flowering it is possible but naaaaaaaaaa do you mean hairs or pistil

Naw man its somehing about the flowering stage with these plants. these plants take off when they get put into flowering. heres 2 pics of a baby that i have in flower right now. the first one was taken on 5/27 right before flower, and the second pic is about 2 days ago. And the growth was after 3" of new growth was damaged the night before flowering and still look at the difference. i have a thermometer in the picture to show scale and you can certainly see the difference. I would say to you to add 2-3 42 watt'ers, with it being skinny like that it not really all that bushy so you really don't have to worry about light penetration, because every budsite will have light. its never too late bro, you still got about 4-5 more weeks until harvest so added now will be a must if all you want is a couple of joints worth.

Got that one .. Nice pretty girl u got

I`m not worrying about that one , she already has a lot of "buds" coming from different branches .. It satisfies me already .. :mrgreen:

So I bought today a 105W 2700k bulb .. And now I have :
1 - 105W 2700k
1 - 65W 2700k
1 - 32W 2700k
1 - 32W cool white
I put the 100W over the plant and spread the others ..

Got a few photos from today ..

I got question about nutes ..

1.5 ml/L Flora Bloom
When should I start addin the Bio BlooM (2 ml/10L) .. ??

On3Tim3OnLy · Jun 11, 2008

3 weeks befor the end of flowering

stoned16 · Jun 11, 2008

yeah u havent near enuf lites...u should at least double!!And im not an expert but i think feeding them 3times a day is way to much

You cant see it in the pics but the floros are 1-2 inch away from the plant .. also the 105 Watter above the plant .. And I move them every couple of days .. cause the leaves get burned ..
I got like 250W now .. no way to double it .. would of got the HPS already .. :blsmoke:

About the feeding .. I`m not really sure if its all good but I understood that the rockwool suppose to be always moist and it dries real fast ..
.. Shes has not complained about over watering yet so I`m going to stick with that shedule ..

Is it slows down real bad ?
