Holy shit man! Those are doing great for your first time around! Those look like sativas ... I would have started the flowering at 14" to 18". Sativas can get up to like 15 feet tall so depending on how long it takes for them to bloom completely.... you might need to cut a hole in your roof...lol or cut the top every so often. Great work though! My first sativa grow was crazy.. shit got as tall as a christmas tree..lol. I now have an indica strain growing which is a little more greenhouse friendly as far as height goes. :thumbsup:

Hey thanks man, Im amazed at how much they have grown in the past 2 weeks. I'll start budding them tonight. Any more help is always appreciated.

Ok i put in the 2700k 125watt cf bulbs. They have been in flowering cycle about 4 days now. The plants are still growing strong. They look like they're opening up a little more and the roots are pretty abundant. I have the lights and the drip set up for 12/12. I don't water when the plants are sleeping, the roots are submerged in the solution anyways. I still run the airstone 24/7.

P.S. Since I am using the gen hydro 3 part flora system, can i add in extra blooming nutrients? ANd if so, do i need to use less of each since i am adding in more types of nutes?

Here are the updated pics.

I'm using GH 3-part as well, but your water seems to be very dark, not saying that it is wrong... my res is black and I might not notice the color as much! I really like latewoods GH 3 part tutorial, and it seems to be working great for me. What all nutrients/chemicals have you invested in so far?

i'm glad more and more people are experimenting with cfl's and micro-grow.

i'm using cfl's myself, but they're 23watters... i've got an array goin on lol. might i suggest LST the next time around? it's what i've chosen to implement, which is the holy grail of methods when it comes to micro-grows.

You can add bloom boosters to your regular nute mix to help with the budding. Be careful though cuz sometimes you can burn your plants if you put in too much. Just read the label and chart and stay patient and never go outside the recommended dose. Would suck to see your ladies burn up. Good shit tho!

I am personally thinkin about using kool bloom. Says to use 1 tsp per gallon along with your normal bloom mix. Supposedly adds to the flavor and helps with the density of the buds. It comes in a powder form and a liquid form. With hydro.. I recommend using the liquid form.
