First closet grow with bag seed

[BCBUDZ420]

Hey everyone, just thought i'd try growing one plant for starters, see how it turns out.Fingers crossed for female. My plant is currently 30 days old, I am using two 26w cool white cfls, Alltreat Farms premium flowering soil, and a lil Plant Prod fert. Any advice, comments, questions would be greatly appreciated. I love this site!

Hey StickyBudz, yeah it's only one plant. Here it is.

 

[Sticky_Budz]

wow she looks great man do u know what strain?

 

[LaserKittensGoPewPew]

pretty darn nice for only 2 26w. If you can, maybe even add a few more. Are you going to flower under cfls or will you be buying an hps?

 

[BCBUDZ420]

Don't know what kinda strain it is, just had some seeds from a good bag a while ago. I am going to flower under soft white cfls just because this is my first ever grow, and I already have the lights.

Anyone know when alternating nodes start?

 

[BCBUDZ420]

If anyone has experience flowering with CFLs please give me a holler

Anyone know when alternating nodes start?

I normally see them after 4-6 weeks of veg time. Some strains show sooner, others later.

If anyone has experience flowering with CFLs please give me a holler

What ya wanna know? I've never used them as an only light source but have added them to a 150 or 250 hps grow.

For every 2 bulbs of 2200k I had, there was 1 around 5000k-6500k. You can go with only 2200k bulbs, but I like the mixed spectrum idea.

CFLs dont have good penetration into the canopy, maybe 4" at the best (meaning beyond 4" from the tip of the plant, you'll notice a real degradation in bud density). Techniques like LST, topping or SCROG make the most of the CFLs light and tend to produce larger harvests under them.

Thanks for the good info NDS. How many CFLs would be sufficient to get me through the flowering stage? What do you think of my plant so far, growing at a decent rate??

 

[noodles]

Two 2700k cfls should be more than enough for one plant.

Hey Noodles, so you think two will be good enough for flowering? Do you grow with CFLs??

I think you're going to need a lot more 2700k cfls than just two of them. Otherwise your buds wont be nice and tight. DKM flowered with 8 27w cfls between 3 plants. Just to give you an idea. Check the link below to see his results. The more light you have the denser, tighter, and bigger your yield will be.

Thanks for the reply, DKMs buds didn't look too shabby, quite nice actually. So I guess side lighting whith CFLs while flowering would be quite benificial?

 

[BCBUDZ420]

Here's a couple more pics of Mary Jane (wishful thinking) at 33 days old. It's really starting to turn into quite the bush, lots of new growth coming out of the middle. It's currently 7 and a half inches tall, and has 9 nodes.

What kinda lights do you use when flowering, cool white, soft white, or mixed?

 

[BCBUDZ420]
