My CFL Hydro Grow

SHES DOING AWSOME MAN!!!!!! gotta love the LSTing! i swear by this method. shes really becoming a nice little bush. shes gonna have some nice colas during flowering. Keep Us Posted.

Thx for the replys.

So when is a good time to think about budding? Is it based on size, age etc etc??

If you mean switching to 12/12 , give her at least 2 more weeks in veg. for good results. Thats what i heard. Also you can veg as much as you want. In the end she'll tell you that she wants to flower :) But in your case you want her low, so you can go after 2 weeks from LST. She'll grow half or more in flowering period.

Looking good friend.

Couple quick suggestions.

1.Don't tie the string to the actual branch as it can end up constricting the branch if it ends up trying to grow very thick. You might end up with a kind of like a child sized bracelet on an adult wrist.

Instead tie one end of the string to the pot, loop around the branch, then pull it down and tie the other end of the string to the same location as the first tie.

Hopefully I explained that well enough. There is a picture in post #60 here that sort of shows what I mean.

2.You can start budding at anytime really, but if you want the best potency (IMO) wait untill the plant matures by itself and shows its sex organs. A fully matured plant preflower will give you much better results.

Take or leave the advice, and good luck :D

Great pic show bro:thumbsup:. Can you explain your o2 ya got going on there? I always wanted to try a plant like your set up. I just got a airo cloner, cant i just use the pump and spry the plant from inside? Man i understand some of the hydro methods, but its the nute thing im unsure of. Do you add nutes, then feed, then empty the res and change back to plain water? There isn't any sticky to read about the things you are assumed to know sometime. Its the feeding thing, i cant imagine always keeping nutes in the res, but then again roots sit in dirt so same thing? Gotta be. Ok at this point i think im talking to myself, but yeah, co2 and nute change, how long does a batch last? Change it a lot?

Sorry man, but it really is only 2 questions:wtf:

Nice looking plant man, il be watching:hippy:


:rasta:

The co2 is the same co2 I use in my fish tanks.
Here is how; DIY Yeast CO2 - The Planted Tank the only thing I do different is I use 1.5cups of sugar and a teaspoon of molasses.

No way bro, those pic's look good, its hard when your using LED's to get good pic's. But those are way better then mine and i see your buds getting some size to them too. Nice man, the led surprised me, i dont think you mentioned it, but i can use the stoner excuse, lol.:stoned:

Id say it depends who you ask. If you ask me yes, LEDs are better.

I am probably end up doing everything you did in my own grow. I am starting with 6 cfl's in a cardboard box. Will be upgrading to LED after a month when the $ is available and finishing out with a 90w 3 band UFO from HTG and the 6 cfl's. Although, I am using soil not hydro. I have never grown anything but my hair and I am keeping it easy as I can. Thanks for the inspiration, friend:thumbsup:

It's hard to believe there is only one plant :cool:
Looks like LEDs did a great job.

Been following your grow, very interested in dry yield. Hope to see more posts!:thumbsup:
