I guess I should give a breif description of what I have going on so for the record I'm running an estimated '3x'2x'3.5 grow box. The box is lined with mylar I know so many better choices, it's fitted with a 12" intake fan and open concept exhaust I have a 250w 6500k daylight CFL veging the the box, there are 2 plants in the box at this time both are OG#18 clones. One plant is about 6-7 inches tall and never re-veged it has 4 small buds on it that just keep growing it's very frosty as you can see it smells amazing has no branching just the main stem. The other plant is stretched out filling out the box under the screen, it's been under the screen for about a week as I noticed buds forming on lower growth of the plant I assume the tops were blocking the light causing part of the plant to think it's time to flower, as you can now see theres lots of what I assume are pre-flowers. The day before/day I switch the light cycle I will be adding 2 more lights ether 150w or 250w 2400k cfls bringing the wattage up to 550w-750w. To maximize yield as well as cannabinoid production I'm not growing with intentions on a giant harvest or anything of that nature, I decided to start a basic grow on a budget to see if I could grow some high quality cannabis if I harvest a ounce I'm happy. For me it's all about the learning process I enjoy learning the art form itself it's not about having the most expensive setup or the best equipment it's about doing the best you can with what you have and gaining valuable information along the way. Anyway any tips or oppinions would be greatly appreceaited, now youve read about athousand words so heres the pictures.
