hey thanks for the reply,
in the 1st pic, i have 3x 23watt 2600k CFLS and 1 46 watt 2600kCFL.
(1600x3) + (3000) = 7800 Lumens for a 18x19 Inch box which is about 4"8 Tall.
According to the average lumen count, it seems to be more than enough.
and the bottom leaves are the same color as the tops.
Either this is a sativa plant or something else is wrong.
(:
How close are the bulbs to the plant?
While the lumens math works out, it really doesn't work in reality with cfl's. I have yet to see a successful grow with less than 200w or so of cfl's, the best have 300w or more. Even then the growth is slow.
Anyways, the plant is stretching for light, which makes me think that the lights could be a little closer, as close as possible without burning them. You've done a pretty good job so far with what you have, keep it up... reading, investing, and you'll get the hang of it :thumbsup:
Oh yeah, and the yellowing leaves part I mentioned was from earlier, when you used urine as a fert. Personally I'd stick to cannabis-specific nutrient programs, like Fox Farm or Canna.
ot dood, thanks for the opinion.
I'll lower the lights a bit & i'll add 2 more 23watt bulbs to the lower/center part of the plant.
This should prevent stretching from getting anywhere. :)

if so you aren't quite there. if my math is correct.....
18" = 1.5' and 19" = 1.58' so 1.5' x 1.58' = 2.375 sq ft.
7800 lumens / 2.375 sq ft = 3284.21 lumens per sq ft.
even so, that doesn't really have anything to do with your plant stretching so much as light placement does. for CFLs you should be between 1-4".
where did your mazar seed come from?
mazar is 80% indica. it's a F1 (afghani (mazar-i-shariff)) crossed with a skunk #1.
you shouldn't give nutes until you have alternating nodes. ~4-5.
it looks like you have a pH problem (as shown in the picture with the canoeing leaves).
do you know what your pH is?
that's all i can think of at the moment.

+ The 'mazar' seeds i got are bagseeds that my dealer sold to me and he claimed that it was mazar. I guess they arent now :\
no worries. i use aquarium pH down as my tap water is over 8.0. it's only about $3 a bottle and it lasts quite a long time.
they could be mazar, just keep those lights close.
good growing.

19 days after last picture, bud galore!

How did they come out? Almost done? Harvested?
