Had to add 2 More 80mm Exhaust Fans to the Back and added 4 passive intake holes.Now my temps have dropped to about 78degrees with ALL the lights on.So im happy now and I will see if i can tweak it alil to get a few more degrees off..

And to also see what a decent amount of CFLs can do.I might start to LST(Low Stress Train)to get more out of my limited height. This will give me more of a bushy plant with many colas rather then a tall one with one main cola and smaller pop corn buds through out.Quote:

10 days as Passed...Updated Pictures.Deep Sweet Grapefruit And My ChemDog.
The Grapefruit has filled in great and i have about 12 nodes pointing up.and are at about 2 -4 inches with almost 2 full sets on each.
The Chemdog as also taken off after transplanting form the tiny peat-pot i rooted it in(I have a bubble cloner now)Cant decide on topping or FIMing her.But i think ill just let it go so i can flower these 2 together i hope the chem dog catches up to the Grapefruit alil..Very happy with my results thus far..Lets see what happens.Thanks for following
Look great so far! can't wait to see some flowering shots! :):thumbsup:
Thanks cant wait to flower....lolQuote:

Man,This plant seems to grow a good deal each day now that its in flower...Its looking great.
Coming along really well!
So are you running only CFL's? Have you ever ran HID before? If so how does it compare? I'm about to start my first indoor grow after I get my taxes and was wondering about how they compare IF you have done both. If anyone else has done HID and CFL on the same strain how did the out come differ? Was the yield way less or more or about the same? Thanks! Those are lovely ladies you have!
Thanks for all the info. Im going to go start my own thread with a bunch of questions that I feel I need answered. I'll have to get pics and measurements to get the exact stuff down I need. Again thanks everyone! :jointsmile:
OK..New Pictures From Today..I see hairs forming is this the FIRST SIGNS OF BUDDING?
Yea man def got yourself a nice lady there.
Ive seen the signs of it being a female for a while but now the tops have the yellowish long hairs starting to grow.Quote:

Sorry about that drama on page 2 i hope they delete that whole section...But yes this is ONE PLANT i did LST on it,so it seems like a few plants..I thought i was seeing buds beginning?Quote:

I'm just a noob also just one grow under my belt but a lot of reading :stoned: LST looks great man!
Your thread makes me want to build a CFL grow booth!
Very impressive results for a DIY :thumbsup:
Thank you very much..Cant wait,In another week ill have some real buds forming..Right now i have the beginnings of buds..:jointsmile:Quote:

[attachment=o262757]
Sorry Meant to Say moved HER and the new Female friend to the closet.Now ill have a lot more room to grow out this LSTed plant.
Ill Have pictures soon to start a new thread on the NEW room.Its Almost fully framed and all Equipment will be put on order Monday.
A Few More Pictures of the Sharks Breath(Started into Flowering Tonight(9th),Ill Start from the 10th.(1-10-11)
On the LSTed plant there are some big fan leaves that are bunched and bushed up on one side and a few that are pointing into the center area covering some bud spots..CAN I TRIM SOME OF THESE?,This would also open it up a bit.
They look amazing :thumbsup: And coming with a rolling paper :)
Those leaves you're planning to cut, they'll fall off themselves when they're not able to work. Just wait a little, buds will grow over them. Trimming those can slow the development and may not help as much as you think.
Here is a debate about it: http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-...her-yield.html
By the way, its good to see a clean 2nd page here:). Sorry about the past.
Happy good growing :hippy:
Thanks for checking back.Yea i seen much debate on this i figured 2-3 could help clear things up.I guess ill manage for now as it is.Quote:

Well I started the full bloom nutrients Mix,Finished 2 weeks of Transition Nutes Mix.AND MAN, these things are loving it.Not much of a growth difference that i notice..BUT i have some of the hairs on all the bud sites turning orange.
AND,Im seeing the very beginnings of the first hairs on some bud sites on the Sharks Breath.Ill get more pictures in a few days after they get a lil more development from this point.
Just thought you should know, according the the bible - Big ridges between veins along curled leaves is indicative of heat stress with salt build up:( (heat stress causes curl/salt build up causes bulge). God I love this book....Jorge Cervantes is awsome!!! Everyone should buy the Growers Bible if your serious about getting it right!!!!Quote:

Are you pointing something out about my plants..?Quote:

A lot of peole and websites recommend giving them a nuet break every couple of weeks and use just water to flush out the build-up.Quote:

They look great otherwise, very nice job!!!!!!!!!!!!!
