2nd grow organic stealth lst PICS whatcha think?

[mikem1188]

hey all... this is my second grow. first went okay, learned a lot and second is much better. built a stealth locking lighted cooled cabinet with mother chamber, vegetative chamber, and flowering chamber. right now in the pics is 2 in flowering that are 4 days and 21 days from the 10-week mark, so hopefully we'll be harvesting these sometime near those dates. I used organic soil in drained pots, lst with paper clips and topped all the plants, these are all from seed, i tried cloning but with no luck so this mother will be getting thrown in the ground to grow a full growing season. I hope since its near 2 foot tall now it'll produce some big ass buds come fall. so yea thanks for reading, and suggestions / questions?

what wattage lights?

[aregan35]

they look great but i would take some of those leaves of the top bro just a suggestion though

[luckyleaf2]

Dont take any leaves untill they are totally lifeless.Looks like the plant in the last picture is haveing some N def.going on.JMO

[mjboy]

nice grow! looking good.

[mikem1188]

lights are 6 23 watt cfls in the boottom, and 3 in the top, 2 15 watt cfls for the mother. yea i try to keep these plants prunned alot, i pull out dried up leaves, extremely yellowed ones, and ones that really get in the way of a cola, but i figure they feed the plant so i try to leave as much as possible... thanks for the feedback all, yea i see a bit of lip tip curling, wondering if this is cause in that plant im nearing the 10 week mark?

[mikem1188]

does the plant look near ripe to anyone? friday is the 10-week mark, near harvest ? i was thinking another 4 - 6 days....

Dam bro that cfl style is sick. I been using a 600 hps for a while and just recentley threw togather some cfl grows. you got any personal oppinions or tips that youve developed in your experience with compax.

[dcoully123]

certainly happy lush green plants good luck

[mikem1188]

yea these cfl's worked surprisingly well... last time i had them farther away, so lst'ing was key here seeing as how they were kept within inches of the bulbs this time..... works wonders and i suggest lst and cfl for those off us with limited space and funds

pick up a 30x handheld microscope and check the color of the trichs to see if they are ready for harvest.

just from what i can see you can probably harvest real soon. those buds look big a juicy for a CFL grow, nice job.

[mikem1188]

i think thats a good idea just gotta get my lazy butt to buy one... hopefully be cutting down one of the plants May 1st ill throw pics of it before, wet, and after dried

[mikem1188]

update: the plant on the left looks really close now, its like 40% orange hairs, we're waiting til sunday to chop the left plant down... then hopefully a week to dry and a week in jars before the first taste (if we can wait that long)

I second that. I got mine for $5 on clearance at Radio Shack (reg. $10)... it was then that I found I was harvesting early. My $5 investment increased my yield by almost 50%.
