First Closet Grow!! Day 12, How's the setup?

[jayreef]

thanx newbud, been messin with the damb thing all day. I'll get a pic of it somehow, I keep movin it all over but i cant get my cam to focus good enough. I'll get one for ya'll. The new little formation is long on one side of the plant and like a seed formation on the other, but it's still in its very early stages so i'll let you know. Fairly sure its a female though.

 

[Newbud]

SEED LOOKING? Plz dont be balls...
Dunno mate, its really not worth any guesses without a pic.
Its a girl tho cos the weed fairy just told me ...
Hmmm, time for my meds i think lol

hello all, this is the 35th day of my first closet grow. I am under 5 100w equivalent cfls. they seem to be doing alright for the $33 it took to buy wire and build. anyhow, this is day 35 as i said 14 days into flower, have small preflowers on both plants now however still to small to tell. I am under the impresion that they are female though, tried to get some pictures however camera will still not focus. I beleive female because even though they are small balls sort of the tops are open, waiting to see if white pistols emerge. let me know what you think.

 

[Newbud]

They look well man, damn that camera lol.
Would it work if you put a magnifying glass in front of camera lens?
Seem healthy though not bad for 5 house bulbs eh?
Good man

FEMALES!!!!! thanks newbud, tried the maginfying glass that just made it worse. they'll be big enough for a pic soon. finally, this morning i have a white pistol. i was woried because i have flowers however they were very small and they looked like balls, however they were opened up at the tips so i doubted they could be seed formations. now i know for sure, besides the white pistol, they stink. grew an inch last night had to raise my lights when i woke up. lookin good, keep and eye out next wed. for that 42 day update.

Its a girl tho cos the weed fairy just told me ...

Told ya that she told me she blessed you with girls.
Get used to moving that light they will probably grow like mad now lol.

 

[jayreef]

hello all, this is day 42 of my first closet grow. I was stressin on the sex for a bit, but they are female 100% no doubt about it. When I look in my closet I feel like i'm lookin at someone elses. Here are some pics what do ya'll think? Oh, I have a light question. I have equivalent of 500w in my space however the cfl's only throw optimal light at about 3", should i get some more cfl's in there or maybe hang some toward the bottom of the plant? Any suggestions? Anyhow let me know.

 

[thedonofchronic]

get an hps

 

[Newbud]

Get a hps ya tight wad :laugh:

Erm not really up on the cfl's i ruled em out for me but sounds like you will struggle for light in lower canopy so i'd be tempted to go for fluorescent tubes round the sides.

 

[jayreef]

i would love an hps, however its just not in my card right now. should i add more cfl's.

 

[thedonofchronic]

then yes. add as many as you want.
its going to get hotter, and more costly

 

[jayreef]

thanks, thedon. how many do you think i should add? and also, should i try to get them toward the bottom and middle of plant or should i just add them to the top? not to costly however, the heat was an issue not to long back.

 

[lordhighlama]

grow is looking nice jayreef, I would say get some supplementary light below the canopy. That will help with the penetration issue with CFL's. Have you checked out MentalPatients CFL grow. He has a good example of surrounding the plants with light!

Check it out and good luck!!!

 

[swiftgt]

looking good jayreef!
but as the others said, you'll want a hps for flowering,
time to save up and get a 400w at least,
but you can flower with cfl's with no prob's,
but when it comes to light, and more you put in the more you get out,
get a second hand hps and with the extra bud you'll get form it, you can sell an oz and make the cost of the hps back many times!

 

[jayreef]

hey a question, if the weather is right the sun would be the best thing for them right?

 

[jayreef]

hello all, moved the plants outside for a bit today. Starting to light train them for the move outside. The sun is nice, and the weather mild. Anyhow, I figure the sun is better than any bulb i can get so what can it hurt? is is better light for them? Here are some pics.

 

[thedonofchronic]

it of course is much better lighting.
The sun puts like around 10,000 lumens PSF around us. (i hear)
And thats after travelling like a LONG way to get here...
so yeah its definitly better lighting, just ask someone who knows
what the proper times to keep it out there for is

 

[jayreef]

thanks, thedon it is very appreciated.
