image.jpg Day 11 flower it has stretched about 3-4 in since the flip had to redo my entire light system but added another light too so here's the tally 8 26w 1600 lumen bulbs 6 2700k 2 6500k plus 2 55w 3800 lumen bulbs 2700k that's a total of 318 w actual pull over 20,000 lumens tops are no more than 4" away from lights in any given area 40 + tops about 1.5 square foot of canopy no shaded areas on tops at all anywhere doubling pistils daily adjusted my ventilation for added wattage temps at a 80degree average ( lights on) 70 lights out sometimes slightly lower 68 I am defoliating approx 5% every 3 days or so growth rates spike day after a clipping water every 2 days approx 1 gal once a week adding micro and bloom nutes gh trio soil had plenty of nitrogen so not adding much there all an all things running near perfect had very few small probs in veg all promptly corrected before permanent damage and I'm now on cruise controll for the duration thanks for your comments/questions
P.s. still hoping for 3 oz at least

Size of grow room? lumen formula L x W = then x's answer by 2,000 -- this will give you the proper/correct amount of lumens needed for your grow space.

I've got more lumens than is required to grow my box is 13"w by 22" long by 26" h my canopy is approx 13" w by 18" long I trained this plant extremely short it's probably only alittle under a foot tall from soil to the tallest bud the canopy has approx 50 buds which are all in full light via my training through veg coupled with some as needed defoliation of shade causing vegetation the way I figure it 1.5 ish square feet of canopy 20,000 lumens from bulbs that are an average of 3" away from every bud ( up to no more than 4 " inches in only a few spots) that should have me well into that 10,000-12,000 lumens per square foot range not to mention that 60 watts per square foot rule I'm way over that my calculations put me alittle over 200w per square foot ps. I estimate without scrog/ Lst it would stand around 2.5 feet tall care to estimate yeild new to cfls so I've no idea or words of wisdom in my endeavor ???

image.jpg Day 23 flower bud growth has really began to take off and I've never seen so many trichs this early it's crazy still have no clue on estimated yeild but I know now it will be impressive given the compact nature in which I've grown this plant
