I'm subscribed, I've been considering making a CFL grow tent with these bulbs

27 Watt CFL - 100 W Equal - Full Spectrum Daylight 6500K - Spring Lamp - TCP 28027-65 Light Bulb (http://www.1000bulbs.com/27-to-28-Watt-6500-Kelvin-Compact-Fluorescents/12042/)
GE Lighting Compact Fluorescent Mini Spiral Bulb, Fle45 Hlx/2/5w, 45w/150w, Model 24688 (usahardware.com) (http://www.usahardware.com/inet/shop/item/31040/icn/20-967679/ge_lighting/24688.htm)

I am curious to see what CFL's can do from start to finish. I'm glad I caught this one early.

saucee last grow the plants grew strong and filled out nice..but they turned males..so i ordered fem seeds to try to get an advantage ... i was running 8 23 watt cfls on three plants...now i have 16 lights same watts different spectrums on fourplants so im hoping for some thick nugs...ive looked at almost every cfl grow on the web and it can be done just need a ton of cfls...well c

I just had a strange thought about. Try to follow my train of thought here...

I had posted a fairly lengthy message recently talking about all of the different factors that go into determining the sex of a non-femmed seed and wonder if growing with CFL's and non femmed seeds lowers your chance of growing females because CFL light is the least like natural sunlight out of the lighting options I've seen. I could be wrong, but it was just a weird thought that I felt like sharing.

I would have to do some major research in order to determine whether this was fact. In no way am I trying to pull this off as true, like I said, it was just a strange thought that sounded intuitive haha.

Cheers,

SMG

P.S. - I added a new link to my signature and I would appreciate it if you would check it out and add anything if you happen to have anything worth adding. THANKS!

Definitely through veg, but i think it would be best to get more for flowering 5,000 lumens/sq. ft. minimum

fleets,

What is your soil mix? I have been studying all different kinds of soil mixes that contain everything essential for the plant without having to add any nutes throughout the whole life cycle. Are you using nutes?


Regards,

I've actually flowered with cfl's alone as well as with HPS on WW's......this is a matter of your set up and choice.....you will do very well with cfl's but nothing can beat the HPS.......just simply more weight.......if you have the funds at flower time or develop 2 separate chambers i would look into an HPS from ebay....dirt cheap

keep up the great work......

I see headshake is lurking.........you'll be in good hands for this grow buddy......just think things through and keep an open mind.....a grow room evolves...sometimes in the middle of a grow.......

i don't post much but i read everything......this grow has definitely got my attention

Am looking into the White Widow strain & have seen feminized WW seeds for sale as opposed to the regular WW seeds. A disclaimer states that the feminized seeds are subject to producing male plants when stressed. With the difference in price ($90 for the regular, & $190 for the feminized), & the possibilities & odds of feminized seeds producing male plants, what are your thoughts/suggestions/opinions on which seeds to purchase. BTW, I'm new to growing.

Thanks,

If you are looking for all females and dont have time to crack, veg, and seed out the males or dont want too. FEMs are the way to go. I have never had problems with fems before. All the fems I have bought were femz. Never got any males. There are some occasions though where you do get males. I have heard of it but have not seen it. if price is an issue buy the regs and get rid of the males save a mother and clone emm.



oh and those plants that are fake look awesome pop. Look nice and tight at the nodes and frankly I think your doing well.

it works great in tight horizontal spaces, or is your horizontal growth area too tight

hope you will be curing these buds before you dig in.

don't be afraid to trim a bit at the bottom......trimming for yield is very affective:jointsmile:....so is focussing on light penetrance, cfl's don't penetrate like a hps

thanks for the info pops. i've got some dinafem and greenhouse WW running at the moment. they look totally different. the dinafem have small little leaves all the way through while the greenhouse have big fat fans. crazy. i see a cross in the future.

as far as ordering, i will be using attitude. i see some querkle from sub-cool in a friend and mine's future. that and some jelly belly. possibly some bubba kush before that because the sub-cool beans are pricey. but the querkle looks crazy!!!

33rd day flower...couple big fan leaves are gonna get plucked off of plant 1

Buffalo Soldier
12-06-2009, 04:02 AM
the plucking you speak of is actually pruning for yield.a very good idea

pop, your plants look healthy and vibrant, your mouth must be watering...be patient, the widows haven't even begun to show their insane trichomes! First time i tried widows I got lost in a hardware store :D

Right on, gives me some hope since I'm doing my first grow with cfl's all the way through. I got the 200w ones though(1 veg, 1 flower) cuz I didn't feel like wiring up a dozen normals lol. I can't wait to see your final pull as well as my own.

35th day flower..ive had problems with plant 1 leaves dieing on me...ive cut back on nutes and kept her flushed but it doesnt seem to help..shes done this since i started to flower....any suggestions

Buffalo Soldier
12-08-2009, 01:08 PM
possible issues:

.....bucket is too small, 1 gallon for every foot.......nute lock out
.....if leaves are at bottom, prune them off.energy will focus on upper colas and increase light penetrance
.....cut back on nutes and don't flush....removing the nutes could be bad for the plant
.....leave plant alone, just give water and some nutes every other water

don't overmother the garden.......let nature take its course.....

...let the plant fight

its normal for many strains to begin to drop fan leaves during flowering, the plant is taking all the leftover food from the leaves and sending it to be turned into resin, the leaves will yellow and drop off, it is best to allow this to happen at its own rate so the plant can use all of the available food. if you see some sort of infestation or if the leaf is blocking light from a nice bud site you can remove it before it turns dries out and falls off.
i have grown nirvana's white widow and she looked like a late autumn day during flower. expect more leaves to yellow and drop as flushing continues. on a side note, if u use all organic ferts your chances of nute lockout are highly reduced, also i only flush during the last two weeks of flower.

If you look at the pics it's more like a nute burn prob than the normal yellowing. I wouldn't worry unless it gets much worse, sounds and looks like you got it alright for now fleet so I can't add anything

not just yet but they look amazing keep it up
and i dont think u have nute burn, nute burn usually looks like the edges of the
leaves have been burned to a yellow color, yours looks like N deficiency which
is normal in flowering cuz just ur bottom fan leaves are falling off and non of
the others high up appear affected which is the text book signs of lack of N
just my :twocents:

Hey Fleets!

I just ordered the same seeds from Attitude from Seedsman. I was curious was to what you thought of the La Woman, if you had tried it at all, the taste, buzz etc...

I'm sure the Widow is going to kick ass, Mine should be here in about 4-5 days since I ordered them on Monday.

Any issues with growing either of these two strains? Any current idea of yield per plant yet?

Any advice at all regarding seeing how this is the same package you acquired?

How did you start the seeds off? drop in the soil and water or did you soak in a wet paper towel first? How long did it take for yours to sprout?

Right now I have some bagseed under the cfl's and I'm finishing my new cabinet. Can't wait to get these seeds and get em going!

Have a Happy New Year and wish you the best!

Hey Fleets!

Congrats on the grow, mine are coming along nicely and I hope they do as well as yours. Out of curiousity, what do you think your yield might've been if you had used an hps and some nutes?

I was discussing your grow and the one I'm doing just last nite. I'm jumping in and putting a 600 watt hps in my cabinet, and hoping that with some nutes and the lighting maybe being able to pull a qp out of all 6 plants. I know I'm being optimistic but a positive attitude is always a good thing, right?

How do they smoke? Have you cured these beauties yet? If so how are you doing it? I was planning on the dried and true glass jar method.

Best wishes to you and I'm impressed with your efforts, thanks for clearing the path!!

Congrats on a successful run! Im goin with some WW x Blueberry in a very similar setup and if you dont mind Id like to compare a few things.

Im using 12 23 watt cfls (6 warm/6 daylight) arranged on 2 power strip fixtures with the Y splitters and all that attached to a DIY ducting batwing as a relflector. Its set up in a closet.

A few questions i have for you are:

what size pots were you using
how big of sq ft area
or if you dont mind just posting an overall pic of the room and i can see for myself
