First CFL Grow (Help Appreciated) Pics Included

Move your lights higher, don't bother the plants. She'll heal by herself.

Burnt leaf will fall off.

I think :P

If you wake up one day and the whole plant is drooping, just water it asap and by the end of the day it should be good. :smokin:

Thanks man. Really i am very basic. I have used no ferts or crazy expensive shit. When they look droopy i just water and with 10 hours they look like new. Pretty much just let her grow herself. I know i would probally be alot happier with proper nutrietns but I am happy. Tnx for takin the time to read the log man. Hopefully we'll have dank budz at the end i can share with everyone. Good luck bro. Stay tuned!

A little advise, you should try to figure out when the plant need water and water it a little bit before the look droopy, as this may cause some stress and slow down the growing pace. You are lucky that you don't have any signs of deficiencies, maybe you're soil is rich in nutriments... But, eventually it will start to get hungry, better get ready to give it some "food". But don't misunderstand me the plant look great and you're doing a great job! :thumbsup:

Looking at your pics gives me the itch again. I used MH/HPS switchable light and would start flowering them at about 6" tall. They would already have 2-4 nodes on the m though. I've never tried CFL's. If you do get into height problems, you can always tie branches down to where they are horizontal. This is best done early while the stems are still rubbery and bendable. Also, have you read about supercropping? Interesting stuff. For a first timer, you seem to know what you're doing. Keep it up.

Yes I have LST'd and I tried supercropping on 1 cola. I learned alof of stuff from GoldedGraham84. I really just let the plant do her thing.

Will it be too late to make clones. Or should i just reveg after bud and take clones when i am revegging and keep this as the mother. Once summer rolls around i can use the closet in my room for mother/clones and the outside garage for Flowering.

Here is a few Update Pics.

First Attempt CFL Grow! Good Luck Me:smokebong:

here is my code for how i out it in my sig. Hopefully u can figure this out from this.
-Swisssssha

how bout u checkout my thread geeee =]

K i found a Big ass Pot out in the Garage. It has to be 5x's Bigger than the one i got. Will this be too big. The only soil that i have is the stuff i plated it with. With is already Pre Nuted. 21-10-7 i think. Or close to that i belive. I am gonna buy some 0-10-10 Flower nutes Soon. Should i use that Soil or just try to purchse sum NON Nutted Soil? I kinda had a good idea it was gettin pot bound. it really is to small of a Pot. Thanks for all the Help hope to hear back soon
-Swisha

get some cow manure, premixed with soil that they sell at lowes, it was the shit when i went into flower last season

Update Pics

Blururrryy and small but man they look tight!!! Nice work there man!:thumbsup:

Gonna feed my babies tomorrow, it's not too late but "too soon have passed a long way!" (Yellowing leaves with purple stems) at almost 1 month.

i wish you the greatest success with your transplant. i don't even believe in god, but i'll pray for no hermies.

Hah thx man. Cant i just turn it upside down and stick the root and the dirt all in 1 in there. or cut the botom off my old pot and stick it in there?
-Swisha

Okay. Today i transplanted. If people arent spost to get mad at this stage well then i failed. Miserably. Anyways Got er done. She is no longer tied down. I have another 2ft of vertical space so that is not a problem. I already feel better about this new pot. its WAY bigger than my last 1. I looked for male parts today. None i can see. I hope not. I probably her stress her more than my gurl does me! LOL Nah. But She looks good. Just got sum Yellow colored fan leaves on the bottom, and dirt in my tricoms. Anyways Here is Update Pics
Peace stay Blowd
-Swisha

shes not going to hermie this late unless you do something drastic....looking great man, i wish i had all my lights on 1 or 2 plants lol, like yours , looking awesome, how many days in flower?

She looks Beautiful. So muc more Lively after i gave here feet a little more to move. Today is Flower Day 18. Im hopeing to be done by Day 75. She grows more everyday. SO MANY pistils. Now i have no idea even how a plant buds but guess i will answer my own question as this progress progresses!
Thanks for all the help. Never coulda done it with out ya guys.
-Swisha

basically, wherever you see pistils, it's gonna be a bud site. as flowering progresses, the buds grow bigger, and towards to top of the plant, they expand into eachother, forming a single (kinda) bud. this isn't as common on lower branches.

BTW pic 1 of last post is of day 3 not 18 -_-. Thanks for the info gG. Anyways im going to be getting sum fox farm Tiger Bloom. You think 1 qt should do me until i get through flowering?
-Swisha

What is your current lighting setup/arrangement?
