hey there smokers and jokers,

i am using a bunch of cfls for light source. i got 6 on the plant. 23 watt daylight at 5000-6700k for vegging and 23 watt soft white at 2700k for flower. i am using drop lights....hope that helps

day 25, added one more 30w cfl and fed nutes for the 1st time..used veg nutes by botnicare....thats what they had at my hydro shop and they guy told me it was organic...anyone know of this brand?....tell me what you think

so i did a little research and found that lighthouse blackstar is a good LED. i ordered a 135w for my grow and got it yesterday. lets see if it make a difference. still got a bunch of 23w 6500k cfls.....heres you go at some pics today.......15 hours or so after LED

I would let that plant get bigger before going to 12/12. Just my opinion. I would try to get it to at least 16-24 inches before flowering. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

i dont have room to flower 16-24 inches and triple in size, maybe...also this is a bagseed that i can trying a run on and want it to determine sex before i move on. but i will be letting it grow for at least a week to help it along and lessen stress...if thats possible

Indicas typically don't stretch out 3x as large, sometimes they won't even stretch out to twice the size they started at in flowering. If you plan to continue growing it make sure you grow it out large enough to take a clone before you start flowering.
