Keep us updated here because I have grown out this strain a couple times and currently have a couple going. Its a very interesting buzz and fairly easy to grow. Flowering will take you to almost 10 weeks (or so my last one did) although several of mine were ready just over 9.

Looking ok so far but I'd get rid of that aluminum foil on the top of your pot and possibly get it a bigger pot as well. And from the way it looks a bit stretched, I'd suggest maybe getting a couple more of those CFL's. You will be happy you did. Oh one more thing, the COB is heavy on the Sativa side and the buds are going to reflect that. They aren't going to be the nice tight rock hard indica type buds.

Thanks for the reply , could you explain in simple terms what you meany by some of your words. This is my 1st grow. As for the tin foil on the soil its saved the plant from certain death many a time. Its also helped with a few other problems such as mold on the compost , root rot , and its kept besties out. But I will give it a try. Shes been very hardy plant to date and has nearly died on me a few times but shes still going. And tbh I really enjoyed it. Its a lovely looking plant now the buds have started and its a exciting time for me to see it get this far. I will add a goldfish lamp to it a bit later but unfortunatly its always been that stretched. when I placed lamp a lot closer the leaves went horribe yellow and died (glad i caught that one quick enough) it did the same to my tomatoe plant next to it so had to be the light.

Could you possibly post a pic of your bulb?

And the tin foil is a horrible reflector. I'd have to think that it would hold moisture in an encourage fungus growth. Not sure about that though. I just know it isn't a very good reflector and can cause burns.

glad you said that cause i was sure gonna ask you what the hell happened on the left plant...LOL..:thumbsup:

i not got a clue I cannot for the life of me get tomatoes of it. Its never flowerd and its like 14 months old. it was really just a plant for me to check the surroundings where ok to support plants. If tomatoe died chances are other had no chance.

Yes, I would suggest getting rid of that aluminum foil as well. It could reflect and create hotspots on part of your plant, and possibly burn parts of it. If you're looking for a good way to not waste light, get a good reflector for your lights. Secondly, maybe try putting up mylar on your walls.

Lose the foil and get more cfls possible keep them closer to the plant as well. That plant has some horrible stretching issues going. Otherwise it looks healthy!

OK here goes.

We have 1x 125w

Then 5x20w (100w equiv) making a totall of 625w in totall. But only consumes 115w from the supply.

I also have a purple light thats used for fishtanks which has helped a fair bit.

So what ya think now lol

I usually grow vegatables in there (tomatoe , cucumber , e.t.c) and they dont half grow fast.
