1st Go-Round - CFL's and Bagseed

[RamblerGambler]

This will be the first time harvesting, so I have exactly zero experience one way or the other. After doing a fair amount of reading I decided that the preharvest darkness concept seemed to make sense, so we'll just have to see how that goes.

I did rearrange the flower cab a bit. Instead of keeping both fixtures on top of the single remaining girl, I've repositioned one to provide side lighting via 3 42w bulbs, while the canopy is lit by 6 23w and a single 42w. Here's to hoping for marked improvement in the undergrowth

gotcha gambler. i have seen the 36-hour darkness before harvest on a video. they say it resets the internal clock (same as before switching to flower) and makes the ladies force out all the last bits of goodness!

i hope it works. i'm gonna give that a go this time.

oh, and i'm too lazy to go back to read through your journal again (and too stoned to remember) what nutes/additives/supplements are you using? lol. sorry.

I've been using the Technaflora Recipe for Success starter kit. I should note that I didn't have any nutes for veg. They were acquired during the first week of flower.

It seems to have worked alright, but I would love to give Fox Farm a go. Maybe a future grow...

Hey, nice log! I am using bagseed as well and sure hope I don't get a hermie, hoping and praying I dont, but seeing all the work you did and then getting a hermie makes me get it in my head that its inevitable sometimes and to just deal with it. I have a stupid question tho,,,, molasses like what I make rye bread with or some name of a product called molasses but really is a chemical?

No problem Shake! As long as the question gets answered correctly, who cares where it comes from. Frosted, in case your still wondering just find this product: Buy The Case: Grandma's Original Molasses You can find the stuff almost anywhere.

Now, I know the photos should have waited tomorrow when the light is better, but I'm too anxious not to post them now. That being said, Rambler is proud to present the harvest of Obamanation!
