Girl is doing great, really hitting her stride growth wise. Over 14" high now. I've decided to wait on flipping it to flower until I get my mars 300. Should be ordered over the next week or two pending any unforeseen circumstances. Pics: Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Little update here, so I ordered a viparspectra 300 since it has ir and uv which should come in handy as I'm using it to flower. Light will be here on Friday and I'm in the process of making a make shift partial box for my girl to flower in. Dimensions are 3X2X6'8". Edit: she's past 16" now btw. Can't wait to see what she turns into when I flip her. Sent from my iPad using Grasscity Forum
Update, light is installed and makeshift enclosure is made. Starting 12/12 as of tonight. Sent from my iPad using Grasscity Forum
Ohhh okay I am still in veg and doing 24 hour light so I didnt realize they droop before lights out. Good to know so I don't get freaked out when I switch! Haha.
Looks good. You wont regret it running some t5. I see you bought led. Still. The more light the better.
I'm on my first grow using the viparspectra lights as well. Can't wait to see how yours turns out. I'll put mine into flower in about 3 weeks. First grow! Come check it out and give some helpful tips! 6 plants 4x2x5 grow
It is root bound. Put it in a bigger pot if you want any yield. that's why its droopy and needing water all the time.
Good choice on the lighting upgrade. She looks good, but Whiteboy is right, you'd definitely benefit from transplanting into a larger container asap. What kind of soil and nutrients are you using? 2'x2', 3'x3' and 2'x4' - Multi-strain
So I took your advice and moved her into a much bigger pot to finish in. The led is about 13" away from her, should I leave it there or move it up a bit? Sent from my iPad using Grasscity Forum
Also, I'm using soil that was made for me from a friend which has worked phenomenally I've not needed to feed it much for nutrients so far. I've started her flowering nutes though which consists of jungle juice bloom part a and b, voodoo juice, big bud, floralicious grow and tiny amounts of hydrogen peroxide.

Nice: My 3x3 tent and 450 LED is on the way. Was thinking of augmenting with another 450 but will try the CFLs...Thanks! Ist time grow will be w/ Fox Farm soil and canna nuits later on.
On a side note, does anyone here know what deficiency causes this? It's only on older growth so I'm not overly concerned but it's something I think I should fix as soon as I can so it doesn't affect yield... Sent from my iPad using Grasscity Forum Edit: I've done some research and it looks like it's a calcium deficiency, can anyone confirm? If it is calcium deficiency could anyone suggest an easy/cheap way to add calcium as I'm pretty tight on funds right now...
So the girl really seems to like the new pot and light: Check out my grow: First grow using cfls. https://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?threads/First-grow-using-cfls..1439770/
Made a couple of diy reflectors for my side cfl's, I'll get some pics of them on the lights tomorrow when they're on. They fit perfectly on the cfl's without the need of an additional fastener luckily. Wouldn't be true of all the bulb sizes though.

Nice. You may want to paint that wooden panelling or throw a sheet of white paper on it. From what I've read matte white is the most reflective, better than foil. j
