2nd grow, floro/CFL

[ohhellno21]

Hmm I would try and recover the droopy plant first. Just my thoughts.

Ya try to recover that droopey plant first, in my experience its either root bound or over watering, but then again thats just my experience. if your going in to flower try upping the lumen output with more lights, my set up is alot like yours with the 80 watt floro but i have 3 26 watt cfls and all thats on just one plant.

Yea i got at least 2 42w cfls , and a vanity fixture that holds 3. So maybe up to 5. I gave the sad plant, Alivia, a shitload of water. We'll see how that works out.

ummm CFL and fluoro are the same thing. Otherwise nice journal, plants and setup. Best wishes for flower; I will be watching.

Fan leaves too - Ive found from my little experience that getting them out of the way REALLY helps the undergrowth shoot up into the light.

Well yes and no. I just meant that I'm using 48" tubes and a few individual bulbs. Same kind of light if thats what you mean.

sorry for the lack of updates. Started flowering 10/17, still waiting for sex. Pics to come later hopefully.

Well here are the newest pics @ day 47. Flowering 5 days. Couldn't upload a pic of the biggest one though. The little sad looking one is looking alot better though (first pic)
sorry its not the greatest, couldn't resize the better one.

Lastly, started giving them 10-30-20 fert (flower) @ 1/2 strength

So giving her a ton of water saved her from that drooping? My 2 lil one's look to be coming into the same condition that Alivia once was. How much water and how frequently to save her?

Very nice grow b.t.w. An inspiration to us fluoro / CFL growers! My plants in my grow journal are growing...but not nearly as fast as yours did....good luck in flowering stage

Nice looking CFL grow so far! Very healthy looking plants...

On my thread you asked where I got those metal circular CFL fixtures. I got them at Home Depot for $6 each. I highly suggest them - they come with clamps so its easy to move them around and get light to the entire plant. Keep up the good work, check out my last grow in my sig, it was all CFLs. Harvested almost 2oz off one plant.

i bought 2 of those 8" metal fixtures/reflectors with the clamps and 15' power cord for $6.00/each at walmart yesterday...I'm waiting till my plants get taller to use them but yes, I highly recommend them also...they are great and you can place them everywhere in the exact position you need...

'Sup dude You got some nice plants there. I didnt catch the strain though, not sure u mentioned it. Mind not to overwater during flowering, could invite mold . Superthrive works wonders when u transplant, http://www.superthrive.com/page1.htm. Reduces even eliminating shock and helps promote root growth. +rep and i pull up a beanbag for this one. KEEPIN IT GREEN! peace, e

Yea, everyone says they've got them there but I've never seen them near me. Not a superwalmart thought.

Thanks for the props guys. Getting anxious about sex. Still no real signs. Day 7 flower tomorrow

Also, any simple way to keep humidity down? Its around 40% or so. Also need ideas for venting a closet.......has a tarp over the door to light proof. any ideas?

o yea, and its just random bagseed. same as my last grow, which turned out to be really good, energetic high.


O YEA also I added another 2 42w cfls. So now its a nice total of 248w.
