Phat Jays 2nd Grow (CFL/Coco) w/pics
:yippee:
I unplugged my lights earlier today, the lights would normally be on by now so my ladies are probably wondering :wtf: is going on. I was intending to leave them without water till harvest day, but as the weather is warm I decided to treat them to one last watering with chilled water. At the rate they are drinking (Plant E 850ml & Plant D 750ml a day), the Coco should be quite dry by the time I get to harvest them.

I cropped my ladies 1 day earlier than planned because I am busy tomorrow.
I think Fimming my plant paid off... :)

I got a bit carried away trimming and a lot of the secondary buds ended up on the tray.

its a little late but i was just reading over your grow and noticed you were having probelms with plants getting too heavy and breaking.
Treat your plants with Silica next time. Plants use silica to to reinforce the cell walls of stems and branches. While it might not keep your plants stading straight up, i promish you not a single branch will break. The stuff is truely amazing and it really helps stregthen your stems. Silica also increases the hardiness of the plants and assists them in resisting disease, drought, and other environmental stress. Its relatively cheap too and can be used with every watering without the risk of burning.
As an added benefit, it really beefs up the inner stems of the plant. This increases the weight and overall yield(more than you would think too, i probably got an extra 1/2 OZ with the extra stem weight.
In fact, your gunna have to bust out the Bolt cutter come harvest time. I shit you not.

Although it was a really nice smoke, I personally didn't think that this crop was quite as good as my last one. I got 106g's dried weight (after I removed all secondary from their stalks and cut the stalks from the bottom of the main colas). Plant D's main cola was 20g's and plant E's four colas came to 36g's. The other 50g's was made up of secondary buds and popcorn.
Fimming didn't seem to have any effect on the size of the secondary buds, in fact the secondary buds on the fimmed plant were larger than on the plant I left to grow naturally.
Here are pics of the buds once they had dried (proper stalk snapping dry)

Nah.. I quick dry the trim and smoke it, it stops me attacking my buds before they are ready. I smoke the trim 1st, then the popcorn, then the secondary buds and save the main colas till last.

I am growing 2 White Rhinos, they are currently 4 weeks old and are already looking really sexy. I am trying out the Dutch Pro nutes I got for free, so far I am impressed. Hope your good too mate.

It's funny you mentioned that. I was reading your thread a few weeks ago and noticed your comments about silica. I had put a note on my desktop to ask you about it. :thumbsup:
I may not need it this grow as I am experimenting with keeping my plants smaller and seeing how much this effects yield. I put the cuttings into flower the day I got them. Well I say cuttings, they came from a new source and they had 5 nodes the day I got them. I wanted to put them into flower a bit earlier than that.

They are doing pretty good m8, in week 7 of flower. I had a go at growing bonsai plants and I will have some pics up in the next few days.

Not really an equivalent but It will boost your buds > Molasses, nice and cheap. 1 teaspoon per gallon.

I am interested in the red bulb, but buying not swapping, because my bulbs are all on loan to me or needed, Why would you want to sell/swap them and get weaker bulbs?
Phat Jays 2nd Grow (CFL/Coco) w/pics
Nice to hear the girls are doing well, looking forward to seeing your bonsai plant aswell. With the bulbs i thought instead of running 1 250w over 8 plants (this being my idea of doing lots of little plants like dr.greenbud but on a smaller scale) I would run 250w over 12 plants but by using two 125w bulbs. I thought the weaker bulbs would be ok after seeing your results with the 125w bulbs...What do you think i should do ? The plants are going to be in evian drinking bottles so small pots, and the bulbs put out 9000 lumens...My plan overall was to have two 125w red cfls with e40 hangers flowering two sets of plants with a month gap inbetween, then 125w blue for veg with my current reflector. i know feel unsure to weather my idea was good or bad !!

Just to add that i thought the 125w envirolites were slightly longer giving a bigger surface area coverage than the 250w

I would use the higher wattage bulbs you have. A friend of mine uses the 250's and he gets much fatter buds than me.

I think it depends on the manufacturer.
