Thanks Rene and you know im always willing to help you tie some girls down
Damn thread spam i thought i had hella responses when i checked my email
I put the screen in to keep them out of the light but i said fuck it and just tied/LST them down and made them behave. You want to Fim or top the plant like 3 node then tie the branches down that sprout and keep doing so till its nice and thick then place your screen over it and continue pushing anything that pops up through the screen back down untill your happy with how full the screen is then let them pop up through and flip to 12/12 also if you look under the forum there are threads about scrog and such check them out!

subbed. Slim, ur inspirational. i jus found this today n caught up readin all ur posts n checkin the pics. those are some puffy nugs for cfl's. I cant grow again yet but am using the time off to learn through research and observation. i think the old lady will only allow me to grow in a couple years if its in a small box similar to yours. u have one of the cleaner more effective set ups ive seen in a while on here. im glad ur "orgy" cups paid off, i could tell you wernt too sure at first. thanks for the education. stay safe. peace.
-p.s. u ever think about puttin in a small 150 or 250 watt hps light with a air cooled ballast set up in there with supplement cfl lights around the plants at different spectrums than the hps. heres a couple ive looked at. im not sure if it would fit in there or be worth it to you. what you think?

Thanks buddy. I never planned on them getting to bud was going to kill them but as the days went on it got harder and harder to kill and start over so here we are almost 3 months start to finish getting so close now all the trics are cloudy just waiting for them to pack a little more weight and turn amber then its harvest time. Im thinking im gonna get around a oz out of the box this go around not to bad for being an experiment and i know now that CFL bulbs at walgreens grow dank ass buds hahhahahaha and miracle grow soil grows some bomb along with Fox farm Trio i couldn't be happier with the FF trio had ZERO problems and good results. The buds ive picked and smoked have all put me to sleep along with the trics i got off all the clippings with my pollen box and the trics were still clear so im oh so excited to smoke it when they are amber. I cant believe how much Big foot blew up i think her cola will be more then a quarter not to bad for plants that are under 16 inches tall hahahaha. Next grow in the box im going for at least 30 colas off one plant and im going for a QP dry so the next go around should be interesting!!!! Im going to change up my lighting to fit more CFL and them sideways i want side lights also so i might put a few Smaller CFL under the Scrog screen for side and under light so the plant gets light for the top and bottom. Its all about changing it up to get your plants the most light possible and that all i did until i mounted my strip up top man was it a chore that and finding space for them all! But im most definitely bored with little plants i want some man sized!

Well done mate, doing really well with such a small space. Hope mine does as well, same sorta size.
I have to admit ive read a fair bit of the start of this thread but ive skipped to the end.. So how many 2700k lights did you put in for flowering? and what watt?
Good luck dude, cant wait to see what sort of weight you pull off.

whooop... my lights just turned up. i have 20 watt subtitutes at the moe(seedling stage), the 12 ive got going in are 4x 85watt 6500k bulbs an 8x 30 watt 2700k bulbs. they were supposed to be 65watts the bigger ones but the guy screwed my order and had to give me 85watts instead. i payed £60 for the lot, the 85watters should be £15 each and the 30watts were supposed to be £6.50 so i ended up saving £52!!

Right now im running 8 CFL in the box 3 26watt 6500=1600 lumens, 5 26 watt 2700K=1750 lumens and i have a work clamp light with 2 26 watt 2700K=1750 lumens clamp on the front door blasting the two front pots bottom buds. The reason i went with the 26 watt instead of 23 is i was hoping to get more of a true lumen out of the bulb meaning i wanted to get closer to what the rating was and the 26 watt i feel put out more closer to the amount of lumens stated on package. So 23 says 1600 and the 26 say 1600 lumens in the 6500K range but i feel the 26 watt puts out closer to 1600 lumens then the 23 watt bulb. So im running right around 250 true watts of dual spectrum CFLs and my buds are rock hard and absolutely covered in trics so i think i'll be sticking with CFL in this box might even try to get up to 400 true watts and call it good. Also i believe scrog in such a small place is a must for good yields a person if they did it right can double or triple their yield doing so and next grow i will put that to the test. Still haven't gave my strain a name i think i might wait till i grow out the couple seeds that formed in this grow and then give it a name
Might call it toe jam hhahaha cuz thats what they smelt like in the first stages of bud now that they are some what flushed they have a wide range of smells one smells like pineapple one like green apples couple like a dead skunk list goes on so individual jars for each plant

I cant wait till next grow and to add another 100-300watts to the box then i will have to wear shades for sure as it is now if i look at up toward the lights i go blind
I just want them to be done so i can start a new grow im going to blast the fn shit out of them with light and nutrients this time around and see how fat of colas i can get scrog style The biggest one i have now is getting so dense and fat im kinda kicking myself for being light on the feed cuz i know the plant would be a monster but im thinking now its going to be a half oz nugget and i might let them go for another week so 9 weeks total in bud12/12.
