The roots were completely filling the cups , there wasn't any dirt it was all white roots. I waited too long to re-pot. The leaves were curling down and droopy now they're spreading out. I see new growth after one day. The big one is super silver haze the other is himalayan gold. I started the smaller one a week later. They are in 3 gallon buckets with plenty of holes. Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil.
Since my last post the plants are growing allot. Attachment 280995

Tonight I looked at the bottom , the stalk is pretty big but there are these weird looking lumps forming on both of the plants. They are on the branches connecting to the bottom leaves , they're like swollen looking green knots. I don't know what these things are.
ay how'd u rig ur CFL board? also wat wattage cfls are u usin? curious.
My cabinet had shelves that came with it, I cut them in half so the hot air would move up. I glued a mylar car sunscreen to the shelf , drilled holes and put screws in it. The back of the power strips had holes where they would lock into the screws. I put tack nails on the side of the box to hold the shelf to whatever height I want it. The cfl's are 6500k 100 watt equivalent, I think 23 actual watts. I used 6-9 at first now I use 12 bulbs. I got y adapters and light bulb plug in things from ace hardware and lowe's. I will take pics of everything once I change these lights to 2700k sunday for my flower stage. I'm putting them into flower now because the sativa is getting to tall for my cabinet and it's gonna grow taller during flower.The sativa is 13 inches now. I don't want to super crop it only because I might fuck it up. Next time I will grow two white widows , I have the seeds. I will try super cropping lst and topping with them to learn it.
Looking good.... I'm rite behind you w/ clones tho. Are you using any fans? 12 cfl s put out a lil heat ... I use 12 also, but I'm in an open space and feel the heat thru the domes I use. A fan for movement is a plus .
Thanks , yeah I use 3 computer fans one is a cpu fan it's the fastest, I use that one and another one to suck the air out. I have one fan at the bottom to blow air in, I have been using it to blow on the plants but I'm letting them rest. It gets super hot if I turn a fan off like in the 90's. With all the fans the temp is usually 80f I have a thermometer in there.
I sarted my plants at 16 light 8 dark ,I switched to 18 light at 2 weeks old. I just put them into flower 12/12. When I was putting in the new 2700k lightbulbs I put in a bigger fan, it really didn't fit. When I shut my door it wouldn't close so I tried to force it, it knocked a lightbar down and it fell into my tallest plant. The light knocked the plant down and it bent and it's most stretched node. It was leaning over like I super cropped it , I said fuck it and went to sleep. Eight hours later the plant had picked itself back up! The only thing is now the main branch is curvy haha. At least it's shorter now, it's still growing fine no real damage other then the light cut off a branch. I put that branch in a party cup with some fox farms and water and it's not dying or wilting at all. I think I might be able to make a clone out of it if it survives. I will add pics soon. The seeds were feminized so I'm not worried about males. I have the plants in almost lightproof box with a blackout curtain on top, in a closet, in my bedroom, with one window with a blackout curtain on it, and the doors shut so I'm not worrying about hermies either.
Attachment 281127 Notice on the right one the curved branch. It's cool though now both plants are at the same height. They are on flower 12/12.
Attachment 281213Attachment 281214 They're so bushy you cant really tell i just tied them down.

I cut them down haha. I'm moving to California tommorow , they wouldn't have finished in time and cured. I'm driving there and anybody who's ever driven through knows Arizona is notorious for dog searches. They pull you over and ask are you a u.s citizen and my car is going to be loaded with my shit so they will probably want to run the dogs by. I will get a medical marijuana weed card prolly the first week I'm there I will be busy though. I WILL start a new cfl grow with new seeds maybe a clone but I will do it the exact way I did this one same lights,same everything. I think the buds would have been pretty puny on these , they bushed up really well but there were too many leaves no real room for buds. idk that was my first attempt at growing so I can only guess the outcome. Happy to be leaving this repressed bible belt state though and my next grow will be legal.
Hey anybody hellp my plants are6 weeks old any thing I can do to make my setup better my pics are in my album
me likely
Not bad
Keep us posted. Im REALLY interested in how it goes. not only cause its CFL start-finish, but cause its also ur first.
They grew pretty good with the cfl's I have. That was veg though , they flowered for 2 weeks and they had preflowers, long white hairs. They would have made bud no doubt. I think it worked so well because I had so many lumens in such a small area. The big leaves would have blocked out allot of light to the lower bud though. Next time I will probably trim the leaves before flower. The stalk when I cut them was about an inch thick at the bottom.
I got a new cfl grow knowledge is power check it out. I'm in like mid flower now, got some huge colas. I topped it twice and trimmed it way down for flower it has 4 main colas and some small nugs around the bottom but not too many.
