165W 8500 lumen CFL Grow!

[Pothead4204life]

well guys this is my only bitch...the other was a male...1st grow....flowering for 21 days...LST'ed Her.......shes bout 8 inches tied and bout 14 untied......

[Montroso]

great job man. whats your space, also any tips on lsting

[Pothead4204life]

thanks montroso....iam working with about 27.5 inches as far as height....its an old dressor that i rigged up so its not alot....

...best tip i can suggest is for LSTing is to bend the cola down and at the same time bend the undergrowth down as well....it causes them to build strenght in the stems....and move cfls as close as you can.....once they start to grow up again...untie then retie....
...hope that helps..

[BizzyStick]

Hey Pothead nice grow man..I'm going to be making my own "GrowBox" soon. I was amazed to see that your only working with about 27' in height and with CFL's since there isn't much of those around here But give us an update ok?


Good Luck!

[Garden Knowm]

Thanks for the pictures.. you rock!!

[Pothead4204life]

hey guys....time for an update....now its in ummmm 24 days flowering and it really shot up since i gave it a good dose of fertz.....I was kinda upset that my other plant was a male but looking at the space i have, i really have space for just 1 plant....

...well this was a trial and error grow....once i get my house... its on to bigger and better things...

...iam off to Montreal on the 9th and hopefully i will be able to find good seeds to bring back down...I will update when i get back...Thanks

[Garden Knowm]

she is either thirsty or over watered..

over watering can be very hard to bounce back from..

[Pothead4204life]

ok we are at 36 days of flowering...its growth has slown tremendously...nows it starting to produce buds...

.....i know I need to flower for at least 60 days...but this plant may take a bit longer...we'll see......

[Garden Knowm]

something is not right?

are you over watering?

[Pothead4204life]

i dont understand....I water every 3 days.....and before i water i make sure the soil is bone dry....

...iam gonna cut back a little on watering and see what happens

[Pothead4204life]

ok i watered them yesterday and today the lights came on.......they look much better...

...i believe i was underwatering them...

...thanks for looking out Knowm

[TokinBaby]

HI, Is that only 1 plant you have growing? It looks like a whole bunch of small plants.

[Pothead4204life]

umm no....its just 1 plant that i have and i use string to bend the plants so the undergrowth can get some good light...LST is the way to go! :thumbsup:

[Garden Knowm]

hey pothead... that leaf that is 100% yellow.. you should beable to give it a light tug and it will come off.. pull out all dead leaves..


this will increase light penetration and airflow..


cheers

[TokinBaby]

How tall is your plant?

[Pothead4204life]

It is right at 8 inches tied...as far as untied, i dont have a clue... i will take the plant out later this week and untie and retie again...i will measure how tall it is when its untied......

....here's a pic at 39 days flowering.....

[TokinBaby]

Your plant Is only 8 inches High? Cool!:)

[Pothead4204life]

here's another....this one is untied

[Pothead4204life]

whoops..

[Pothead4204life]

I have 1 question....It seems that my plant is flowering very slow.....Its at 40 days flowering...but it looks like its at 25 days flowering....So does it look like i need to flower for another 5 weeks?....i know i have to look at the trich for harvest but it seems i will have to go more than 60 days

[Garden Knowm]

picture please...

[Pothead4204life]

[Loop]

SWEEEEEEET pictures.. i like the HOUSE wth the murial on the side!!

a lot...

yeah..looks like Banksy works..even more complex :thumbsup:

[Pothead4204life]

yeah whoever painted that did an awesome job....I walked up to it and it had such great detail even down to the painted bricks.

[Pothead4204life]

so anyway...

...does anyone have an idea how much longer till harvest?...shes at 45 days flowering...

[Pothead4204life]

anyone have an answer?

[Garden Knowm]

Hello Mr. POTTER!

SHe still has a while...like weeks..maybe even 4-6 weeks.. yikes..

are you sure she is getting 12 hours of uninteruppted darkness..

she looks like an outdoor plant trapped between veg and flower?

iloveyou

[Pothead4204life]

4-6 more weeks? ouch...
..yeah shes under uninteruppted darkness....i heard some sativa's can take a long time to flower...oh well

..i will update in a few days...

[SiXFeEtDeEp]

i know im not leet at this or anything but remember when overgrow was runnign ALOT of ppl recommended or practiced a set day of 70 days for there sativa. so look to around day 60 - 75 of flowering.

also i would suggest cuting the timmer down to 8/16 and the last 2 weeks go completley dark or just keep it at 8/16. this might help kick her into flowering faster.

hope this helps

[notorious P.O.T]

yeah some sativas can take up to 90 days to fully flower... hang in there its looking really good..

[Pothead4204life]

I appreciate the input guys..update will be soon.

[Pothead4204life]

well I had to move the plant outside b/c of my living situation...i hope this doesn't effect it too much..

[kayy]

it might be better

[Garden Knowm]

How are things coming along?

[Stylus]

how bout an update brotha =]?

[Pothead4204life]

well..to tell you the truth....i dunno...i can only visit her on the weekends b/c she deep into the woods near my friends camp....i will post pics up sunday...Pray for her!

[buzzedlady]

Hello PotHead!
Very interesting your dressor grow.
Please tell me how you setup ventilation for the plant. It must get very hot inside! I have an old dressor as well and thinking of trying a grow in there. Good luck to you!

[Pothead4204life]

hey buzzed.....i just had a small fan blowing in the dressor...to tell you the truth it really didnt get too hot in there as long as you leave a drawer open...but now my plant is outside and just took pics....

[Pothead4204life]

well time for an update...a very sad update...its been raining pretty heavy down here in the south so my plant got drenched and now theres mold half way down my cola...i had to pull all of it out...hopefully i will be able to get something smokable off this plant...if not..oh well....

..1st pic is a top view..
..2nd is where i took the mold off
..3rd is another close up of the mold spot

[Garden Knowm]

MOLD.. YIKES...

I recommend you harvest what you can NOW.. that stuff can spread very very quickly..

sorry about your whoes..

iloveyou


"i had to pull all of it out"

maybe you did harvest her???
