Bubble Gum in cabinet. When to flower? Pics!

bono, you might have only read the first page of the grow. Look for the page numbers in the header or footer of the page.

Yup, realized that already. FInished reading it. Great grow. Do you also grow in cabinets?

Also, how did it smoke? Tell me about BG's high (is it Serious Seeds?)

Current situation is that I have
A: 1 Bubble Gum in a 70W HPS cabinet
B: 2 Bubble Gums in a Phototron Shell packed 6 with CFLs.
All were grown from Seed (Serious)
This is my first grow since failing with 2 hermies from bagseed.

They are on Day 13 and Day 10 of flowering, respectively.
The HPS has been LSTed fairly well and SCROGGED.
1 Phototron lady was FIMMED and 1 was untouched. The FIMMED one was recently bent over cause it was gettting too big! This stretch thing is new to me!
Here are the pics!
Woo hoo!

Fuck! I found out that #2, the tall, Fimmed beauty in the phototron, was a boy!

I think I got him early, but... does anyone know? It was 10 days into flowering and I just saw the 3 club look on a couple of the budding sites and they were quite small, no pre-seeds anywhere to be seen... Anyone know if I am cool?

So I am down to 1 under HPS and 1 under CFL. This will be good to see how it goes. I know the HPS is a girl, but I still have crossed fingers about the 1 remaining in the phototron chamber (she was so near to that B, B, Boy!)

i would change to a 400watt hps and you can flower them now if you want to thats one of the things about indoor growing you control everything evan when they flower so its up to you ive seen people flower at 4 inches and there plants get about 1 1/2 eet tall with just a main cola a flower tower lol

Cab was made for that 70W light and I got it from him.

A 400 would be too big for it and I want to see how this works out. He also has a 100 W HPS in a larger cab... will try that next.
Well, maybe I will try a 250 in my closet instead next... a 400 still scares me a bit. So big...

Hay. I've been using the same type of setup. I have a Phototron 6 which has 6 - 55 watt cfls and I drop in another bulb that came with the system durring veg. I've gone through 3 cycles and have finally (barely) got it right. My first and second tries I let them get WAY TOO BIG before going to 12/12 and they both yielded zero usable anything. By "WAY TOO BIG" I mean 1 foot tall. This last time I only went 3 weeks, yes only 3 weeks before going 12/12 and they still needed to be bent...alot of bending, but the buds are looking good. I've got pictures in my profile images. I'm going with a Lowryder cross next which I'm thinking will be perfect for the Phototron. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hey Steelwool! Nice to hear from you! Those plants that you said went 3 weeks, did you mean cloned or from seed?
How did you find the CFLs working for flowering? I find them great for vegging so far only and have not tried for flowering.

[Steelwool]

Hay. That was three weeks from seed, they were literally on only their 2nd or third set of leaves. I'm just about to harvest the one female (out of 4) and I would say the buds are a little light but not too bad, looking at over an OZ. . I'm actually pleasantly surprized. I am excited to try these Lowryder seeds I got from "Rino Seeds". I'm trying the Lowryder X Soma NYC. I have heard some good things about them in terms of performance under CFLs. The main problem besides height in the Phototron that I'm having is that any pert of the plant that comes into contact with the lights browns and shrivels, it doesn't burn but comes pretty close so even with bending and topping there is a serious limit to what you can expect from a regular indoor strain. We'll see how the Lowryder does.:jointsmile:

Here are the tops ob the buds:
