Today is week 4. About 4 to go by my imaginary timetable, but we all know how that works!
I really like the newest pics! Looking pretty sugary...yum. Thanks for keeping this log updated...I don't get to see enough floro grows from start to finish...I'll be watching in the coming weeks....:jointsmile: Good Luck, Bree.
1 - Today's shot of the pink bud. Easilly the most beautiful bud in the grow. I stare at this bud for hours, willing it to grow...
2 & 3 - Some sticks.
4 - The far right back corner bud. This is my #2 favorite bud in the grow.
That really is cool to see nice buds like that with fluoros. Great job! They look nicer than my girls flowering for 36 days so far under a 250W HPS. :jointsmile:
1. Some of the tops. T.5 is mislabeled as T.2. What can I say? I was stoned.
2 & 3. The pink-topped bud is 18" tall. It is the 4th largest cluster, but I still think the most beautiful.
4. Attempt at dramatic lighting.
I have 6 sticks in the 18" range, another 8 or so footlongs, and quite a few little sticks & popcorn nugs scattered about. That pinky stick looks like it would be about 7-10g alone as is. Current estimate of yield is 1.5 to 2 oz trimmed & dried. Does this sound about right? Or am I over? Under? This is my first "semi-pro" grow, and my yield is already on a "whole nuthah level" than all my previous grows, so really have no clue.
Those look awesome man! They caught my buddy's eye (we're watching Weeds) and he goes "woah what's that dude?!" ... heh. keep it up! :jointsmile:
1 & 2. Puffing along. As stated earlier & elsewhere, while this is not my first grow, it is my first "semi-pro" grow with "proper" lighting & ventilation, etc. It is producing so much better and looking so much more beautiful than previous grows, I still can't believe these 2 beauties are in my closet.
3. And I found a bug stuck in the trichs again. Guess I know it'll be sticky, huh?
wow, this makes me beilve it can all be done with CFLS.
Yes. It can all be done w/CFLs. And done nicely; CFLs allow you bring the lights "up close & personal".Quote:

Spectra of CFL & HPS are slightly different. CFL is ~2700K and HPS is ~2200K. Both produce the frequencies needed for bud production. Plants grown under CFL exclusively can sometimes show a "PAR defficiency", because certain frequencies are missing. This usually shows as "pinkness" in the pistils closest to the bulbs, is not harmful* to the plant, and is very pretty.
*Because the plant is an annual, not a perrenial, it doesn't matter if it gets "light rickets" the day before you kill it.
