Hey mate, cheers, I am from the UK so I got mine from Dr.Chronic, they came within about 1 week, well protected and very, very well taped up, so I highly recommend the doc for everything

Flowering - Day 31
Hey peeps, thanks for the comments, and yeah I wish I had LST'd sooner! got some great pics, having some problems with nutrients, slight yellowing of the bottom leaves, assuming this to be nitrogen? I will soon have a fix for the PH problem, a friend is mixing me a few gallons worth of certain level PH so that should keep me going! I put the lights up to the highest they will go and so now its a case of carefully pulling them down! next grow = slightly higher box!

In total my lights cost me £20 each and I have 6 altogether, 3 x 125w 2700k and 3 x 125w 6400k, so in total it cost me £120, although I know I could have got a HPS system for that money, I really wanted to try CFL envirolites due to there being a lack of journals with them, especially in flowering, and also, height is an issue currently. I have to say though, I am very pleased with the lights, I have them about an inch away from the top buds, and the plants seem to be doing ok! oh and I got my lights from Dr.Chronic a UK based Head Shop, although having just looked he now stocks 150w lights instead of 125w.

currently in the box is 2 x 125w 2700k and 1 x 125w 6400k, and all the buds show equal growth!

On a side not this week I managed to go to a Hydro store and got my PH testing and adjustment kit, the dude in there was sound and was giving me some nice advice, I also bought some flowering nutes which I will try either today or tommorow.

Thanks for the comments everyone, and sorry I have not updated in a while, I have had so much going on this week its been crazy! anyways heres some shots of my babies!

Flowering - Day 42
Hey guys, thanks for the comments, very reassuring to hear those good words!!!!

Well I havn't really got much too report, the plants are coming along nicely, the bottom fan leaves are dying off (I assume this is normal at this stage of the grow, and also due to using CFL's) since I have started using the correct PH and some nice nutrients the plants are loving it! and remember this is in 8" pots!!!

I love the crystals that are litterally everywhere! where I live it is rare to get quality MJ, I really cant wait to sample this crop! I dont think I will have smoked anything like it!

So I am at day 42 of flowering, there are some amber trichs here and there, I need to get a microscope thing which I have seen people post about to decide when will be the right time to harvest, but I think the flowering time for NL is running alongside my grow, so I am expecting another 2-3 weeks before harvest!

I have a few pics for you, if only I could attach more than 5 to a post! I took about 20 and about 18 look sweet! but anyways here ya go!
