Awesome!!! Very nice!
I know you already mentioned that you didn't have reflectors because the room was small enough and all, but you probably don't have anything to lose by cutting a few aluminum cans in half and popping them over the cfls...
Good luck with the grow! Can't wait to see the harvest :-)

Nutes reduced back to %100.

Contemplating either adding another layer of wire so that I can tuck new growth down or cropping everything that is more than 2" above the main canopy. Still undecided.

Due to how compact everything is in the area i Designated for this cfl test I may be moving these plants to the mothers area and moving the mothers to a different area. The same amount of space will be used except that there will be a lot more height to play with. This will allow me to remove the wires that have been holding down some very extreme growth. Overall moving the flowering plants to a new area will most likely increase the overall yield since they will have more space to spread in.

So if I decide to do this move later things should start getting really interesting in the thread. Well at least the pics will be more interesting :p

Plant's will be moved to area that the mother plants used to occupy. The 2 Remaining mothers have been moved to an area I started to build a long long time ago.

More Flowering Day 28 pics

In the last area the 1/2 2 liters were side by side touching. In this area there is 1"-2" space between each 1/2 2 liter.
Overcrowding solved. YAY. :/ lol.
Root mass's look white and healthy. Def beyond root bound :) :p


Before anyone says nute burn it's not, occasionally when a leaf touches the lights i let it go as long as the top is no where near getting burnt itself. As long as the majority of the leaf is viable and productive I'd rather have a leaf burn here and there than raise the lights farther away.

Thanks Guys

INFO

Plant's look so much better in this area. This could be due to the fact that I can actually see them now lol.

Light is being used more efficiently and covering more new growth now that there isn't as much crowding.

6 Plants did not make there way into the new area since there was not enough room. So i picked 3 1/2 2 liters with the smallest clones and least amount of flower development & those 6 plants found a new home in the trimmings bag. They could have fit inside the new area being used but I decided against it since I wan't to keep the spacing they currently have.

Moving the plants had lots of surprises, there were quite a few nice sized cola's already forming that I had not seen (Could not see the plants very well in other flowering area). The base on one of the largest main cola's is almost 2" wide and quite dense, not as fluffy as i would have imagined with cfl. Most cola's bases were being shaded in the last area due to the overcrowding, the new area all main cola's have 360deg of light now (almost all)

I checked on the plants every few hours to make sure they did not all stand straight back up, remember they had been under wires for like 27 days. The plants appear very happy with the move and the extra space they now have.

Growth over the entire last day cycle was very noticeable. So i am very confident that I will end up with a good yield at the end of this run.

keep it up good work epyxn. looking good im thinkin of scrog'ing my current grow with four plants but im a long way from making that decision. i need to figure out more stats on scrog cfl growing any info you have might help. howd the plants spread out. i have plenty of head room and a 2x4 room to grow only 5 plants currently they are all seedlings tho. i was thinkin lst or scrog.
