hi dopewear
the buds were developing fast even with just the blue specs, hopefully now it will be even quicker!!!!
ive added another inbetween them and on the door there are two more bulbs and all the buds are surrounded in bulbs now.
all 6 of the clones are doing really well they look like they are growing and are all still a perfect green. they are 7 days old now. plus now i have a spare 250w 6400k bulb im gonna veg them and topping and maybe some LST'ing.
oh and i couldnt help myself adding 2 more pics!!!

god they look absolutely outstanding man! Keep up the great work. You have such a clean, efficient set-up. Really marquee for showing that CFL's can produce some nice product!!! And that people grow them just because they're fun!
Can't wait to see the lovely harvest amounts. Give me something to compare to when I finally get to start my CFL grow

hi dopewear and thanks to the others for the great comments.
today is their 31st day of 12/12, i didnt note the day down when they showed sex, one plant showed 4 days before the other.
i would say for the plant on the left its been 19 days since she showed sex and the one on the right has been 16 days since showed me sex
cheers

Looking good there tam.... and good to see that TESCO'S are keeping us UK CFL growers well stocked with bulbs!! Shame they don't stock the 30 watt spiral 6500's isn't it 
You should do well with that set up mate.
*edit* glad the cuttings are doing well too, keep those domes over them for a couple of weeks. Should be rooted by then.

plus having all those bulbs in there now it will be a bit more of a challenge positioning them, i like a good challenge.
i plan on vegging the clones with that 250watter now and veg them longer and top and maybe LST them.
all fun and games !!!!! talk soon

Hi tam I'm doing a few ak48s from nirvana aswell and was wondering how long you vegged them for from seed before swithching to 12/12. I'm now 4 weeks in and could do with some advice. Especially since yours are looking so good. Cheers mate

Hi indogrobro I vegd them for 3 and a half weeks, have a look at page 4 or 5 so u can see how small they were when I switched to 12/12, they have really grown, if you are flowering with cfl's I would flower them now u don't want the plants to get to big u will find it alot easier to get the best out of the cfl's with smaller plants

hi mate the male is doing very well considering that he went from inside growing and chucked straight outside in the cold weather, hes covered in pollen sacks and has streched alot but hes hangin in there lol. i will get a picture of him 2moro.
right another update, both plants are drooping im very sure its nothing to do with my watereing.
Tomorrow they are getting repotted in to alot bigger pots as the roots are overflowing out of the soil. on the plant on the left i have some odd colouring to a couple leaves im not sure what it is though
any help would be great guys
notice the leaves on the plant on the left

ez fella, yup sounds root bound imo mine started to drop a bit before repotting and then recovered, just try not to stress them too much when doing it (would have been better pre flowering but I'm sure it'll be fine). Mine were only just peaking through the bottom when i did it, maybe one had come out over the surface, there's an out of focus pic on my grow of the roots mid transfer if you want a comparison.
All in all though looking good
