California Orange Bud CFL grow

[syde00]

So I didn;t get around to my usual Sunday pic update... so here it is now!

Everything is still going pretty good... I noticed a little nute burn on the bottom leaves, which of course is completely my fault, i knew i was kinda pushing it, so I gave them a little bit of a mini-flush with my watering yesterday.

pic 1 - plant #2's top
pic 2 - plant #3's top
pic 3 - one of plant 4's top (FIM'd plant) - kind of a crappy picture, lots of leaves kinda got in the way
pic 4 - tight macro of plant 3's top that that shows its trichs pretty good
pic 5 - wide angle of the canopy - #2 is the one in the back, #3 is front-left, and #4 is front-right.

I'm thinking these guys I believe have a minimum of 2 weeks to go, but probably at least 3 more realistically... anybody have any thoughts on that based on these pics? i;m planning to give them one more shot of bloom nutes on the next watering and then I think i'll start going water-only

Im glad you found a solution to your high problem syde. I actually am using the shelving unit in my closet to hold my clip lamps and I found the best way is to use dvd cases. My shelves are about 10 inches apart so I couldnt really raise my lamps, still looking amazing tho, Thanks for the measurement as well, I should be able to reach that height, Im going to ahve to get 2-4 more 40 watters tho, the 23 wat bulbs dont do a good enough job.

heh I actually had something perfect to put under the plant, had an old spindle from some speaker wire that was just the perfect height

If you can find them - i'd recomend these ones (don;t buy them from this URL since they are crazy expensive!)

GENERAL ELECTRIC Fle29hlx/2/Xl827 Lamp, FLE29HLX/2/XL827

those are what I;m using in the reflectors - 2200 lumens for 29w, the 4 biggers ones I have in there are 2700 lumens for 42w - so the 29w ones give about 8 more lumens per watt

Thanks Italiano I have to give all the credit to all the excelent contributors on this forum though, I couldn't of gotten this far without all stuff i've learned here :thumbsup:

As great as the plants are looking, I;m looking forward to chopping them down and seeing them make me look like this :stoned: lol

speaking of reflectors, I just made another one with cardboard and tinfoil haha, its working great. I find it funny this is working, alot of people didnt think I could do it and complained how it was so hard, its interesting not hard. eitherway, looking great again.

Sunday night pic update! here we are at day 49 of flower, some hairs are starting to turn a nice deep orange!

pic 1- plnat #2s top
pic 2 - plant #3s top
pic 3 - one of plant #4s tops (FIM'd plant)
pic 4 - close macro of one of the tops
pic 5 - the overall setup

no sign of any amber trichs yet, i know these plants have a bare minimum of 1 week left, but i think its going to be closer to 2 or more. going to see if i can pickup a cheap microscope locally so i don;t have to rely on the camera to see them

[headshake]

good looking ladies you've got there syde!

radioshack for the microscope.


-shake

[syde00]

thanks alot shake :jointsmile:

I wish we still had "normal" radioshacks here! I'm in Canada, and radioshack a few years back changed to 'The Source - by Circuit City"... all they sell now is really really really crappy consumer electronics for the most part even before then, radioshack in Canada started heading that way anyways... the american radioshacks are so much more cooler!

edit: hrm, although, the source's website says they do have a microscope on clearance price atm... don;t think i've seen anything like that in the stores themselves, wonder if the web version stocks a little more
