  1. I have a mini grow going in a pos grow box I bought im on 8th week first week of flowering (6 days in) my flowers look really weak though can anyone help m with this the strain is azure haze
     
  2. What light are you using? What are your temps/humidity levels? Soil/Hydro? Nutrients?
     
  3. Pics would be helpful. With the info you've provided, there's not a lot we can tell you.
     
  4. First week of flowering, I'm almost surprised that you can see anything at all!
    It all starts out with a few tiny wisps, and it ends up turning into a nugget. It truly is amazing.
    Good luck!

  6. CFLs will make the buds start out like that it will tighten up a lot more but with CFLs that weak the flowers won't tighten the way u really want unless u use led or hid lights
     
  7. Thanks dirtee hey by u sayi g g theywont tighten up wdym will they becomelarge ? Nd smokeable though off the size en of the plant what dou think itll yield I counted 15 bud sites all substantial size and I prunedthe bottomtofocus the energy
     
  8. Novyull defiantly have some smokeable dank buds if your feeding her properly and the closer u can keep the lights to the bud sites the better it will come out being that your using cfl the buds just won't be super dense they will be a Lil more airy
     
  9. The small one is good, nice attempt at LST, and it's easy to get those bulbs all around the plant for some nice coverage.  You should get good results off that.  People talk down CFLs but most people doing it don't have even as much light as you have. Have faith! They produce great weed.
     
    The lanky one will be tricky because you can't get the lights close to the hole thing, and they're not very good more than a few inches away from the leaves, and trying to light that one will mean less light for the small one.
     
    Consider this: remove the branches and leaves from the lower straight stem of the larger one, and just focus on the 'Y' top stems.  Put the smaller one on a table or something so that it brings the canopy up to the same height, and then you can light everything evenly.
     
  10. Thanks alot howando yea a I on ml y have roo for one floweringr at atime so im letting the short on go first im thinking when I flower the tall one ill transplant it and try to o lst the main stem to where its sideways
     
  11. gotcha dirtee thanks,.... I guess my last question to u all is off the size of the short plant whatll u think itll yeild im shootin 4 two ounces
     
  12. Possible but looks more like 1-1.5
     
  13. If you're going to keep it for 9 weeks while you flower the other one... there's a thing you can do, that I do with my mother plant.  I just it back COMPLETELY, I would literally cut that bitch down to the last tiny tip growing out of the base of that stem, just that to draw the sap up.  Then I pull it out of the pot and remove two-thirds of the roots, or more even, trimming them back leaving it with a small fist of roots.  Then I pot it up with fresh soil, water it, and let it grow.  After a couple of weeks there are dozens of healthy fresh shoots, I take clones, after a few weeks maybe I take some more clones, then I cut that bitch down again and around we go.
     
  14. not dogging you but with this cat being a beginner you should never suggest an advanced techniques like that they could end up totally ruining their plant thanks to you plus soon that much damage when already in flower could be very detrimental
     
  15.  
    He's only got room to flower one of them, and keeping that healthy and under control for 8-9 weeks while the clone goes through a flowering cycle... equally problematic!
     
  16. Lol yea thanks for the idea howando but im not sure if shell make it being that the only light the tall one gets is from the window
     
  17. but majorly pruning the roots??? I've been around producers of high quality bud since I was 5 yo bro I've never heard this peice of advice from anyone. And I really highly doubt that doncannon is going to ever attempt this lol ...the best solution is super crop Over and over until yurbready to put the plant into full flower that will keep it short and healthy... Don't go stressing your plant and doing damage to it at the epicenter of its life... The roots should not be fucked with unless absolutely necessary.
     
  18. A u know what would be really helpful if I could get the specs or idea for a legit grow room I just orderda 500 watt led dc light so I wanna know what I goa do and wha can I yield with that light I have Web a decent room big enough for at least 10 plants so I guess I wanna know will the led light be sufficient for 10 plants
     
  19. Fair enough ;) you are right to not immediately do whatever someone suggests from the internet without thinking!
     
    But seriously, even if it's just light from the window, that plant will be large and lanky and difficult to light with your CFLs even now but definitely in a couple of months.  I wouldn't recommend flowering it at all.
     
    Instead of my somewhat extreme suggestion, keep your big plant for a while then take some clones ready for your next grow, just like you have done here.  Prepare one for flowering like you have done, and keep one as a new mother plant, but it will be much smaller and easier to manage.  When the time comes, take more clones off that, and so on.
     
  20. Damn dirtee so I can continue to supercrop the tall one till I flower her
