bump bump does this shit work???
YEAH! Anyone remember "REDMAN's $13.26 grow"? Kingdavid, You got bit by the grow bug. Great 2nd attempt, almost identical my 2nd (this first failed). Simple, If I could offer anything, it would be to ADD MORE LIGHT. As is, you will prob pull a fat 1/2 or 3/4 O, when dried. Double the light, stagger the heights to get some light right up to those big fan leaves at the bottom to increase production. With CFL, ideally each leaf would have a lightbulb half an inch away. Should you feel inclined to try again after this grow, check out scrogging, it is a very good way to maximize CFL lighting, and will allow you to veg for a while in a simiar space, creating more budsites. This is another rec: Practice cloning. I wish I had with my second grow, instead of waiting. Buy some cloning gel, read up on cloning on this sites FAQ or forums, and attempt to clone two of the large, stretched out bottom branches. They will yield maybe half a bowl between the two of them way down there, but if they take root, you are gonna have a another fat bag!
Not too mention, if they fail, your out half a bowl, but on your your 3rd grow and 2ND cloning attempt. Its all about the process man

hey king i have pretty much the same setup. in fact no offence everybody but this was one of the post i enjoyed reading the most. i got 3 girl under 4 clfs, they are only 20 watt, i didn't go with warm white... i went with whats called 6500K day light (donno is anybody used them but thats all the guy had at the store).
anyways i love the updates king. i got one suggestion (again sorry if i am wrong i am a newb) but your nutrients you said are 10/15/10 based on all the crap i read you should iether use a 30/30/30 throwout the whole plants life or something hight in N in the veg and then something high in k for flowering.
also i like to use a light mist of just plain water on the whole plant in the morning it really boosts growth
well thats my 2 cents.

hey man thanks alot for the view and response man, i am indeed bitten by the grow bug!!! i have clone gel and intend to attemo to clone before the plant is done. the thing is the big longer branches at the bottom already have white hairs so will they keep flowering ????? should i just clone and repot them for a whole nother plant?? man that would be great!!!!! please stay tuned in !!!!YEAH!

thanks for lookin man i checked out ur grow very good job. this is my 2nd try at it the first ended miserably i just added another cfl for 104 total watts. i still think ill be fine, but what is considered the minimum for flowering???
Yo holmes! yeah, the sooner you clone the better, keeping in mind you will have to keep the lights on 24/7 to revert your plant to vegging stage, otherwise you will get a little stub of a plant. check out the cloning tutorials on RIU, and clone away. Now, 104 watts is plenty if utilized to its full potetional, if I new how to link to other posts I would tell you to go to my "balla on a budget 96w grow" but if you peep my profile you should find it, or just search my user name. I ended up with a FAT oz, and I used two 24 watt blues and two 24w reds for the entire thing, save they were tubes (t5) and I scrogged. Your plant is bigger than mine were, but I had two, so I expect your yield to DEF clear a half. the grow bug bit me so hard that I went out and bought a 400w hps, with cooltube, and 3 more tubes, built a split chamber veg/flower cab, and my yields per plant (4 in total) are looking to clear an oz each at a similar height to my balla grow. CHECK OUT SOMEGUYS PERPETUAL GROW, this man has personal growing figured out to a fine art, and if you got the time (and about three doobs 
) read it all, take what you can, and envy what it must feel like to be SO DAMN GOOD. Keep the updates coming my friend

so here are the changes: added 1 more cfl warm white for a total of four (i also replaced the 6500k i strated the grow with with a warm white 2700k). i disassembled my lamps that were hanging and now am using just the cordsets from them. so tell me what ya think..... peace

yeah I think you will be ok with 100 watts total and the configuration that you have, but you cant have enough light. The more lights the better with CFLs (I think 930 watts are still not enough on mine). If you can get at least something around the plant and taller than the lights, it might help to contain some of the light your loosing. Just leave the top open and get anything that is white and surround the plant and lights, like cardboard or something, It will make a huge difference.
