    Hi leach. Sorry it's taken so long to reply... only just noticed i had a message ! I haven't tried germinating the Special K yet, might start soon so it can get as much sunlight as possible outside in the "summer" (hahaha i'm in the UK !!). Rest assured i will post the results as and well. Cheers.

    Meave's first CFL grow, short stuff #1

    Hi Mickey, thanks for the comments. I've had them on 16/8 since germination. Most folks here appear to recommend 18/6, 20/4 or even 24/0 but i'm trying to keep it as cheap as possible. They seem to have done all right on it. I have actually harvested them all now, they seemed to become ready at...

    Evenin' all. Good to get a second opinion ! The pictures are much better when i leave them in with the lights instead of taking them out and using the crap inbuilt flash .... :dunce: Anyway , here's the latest : Plants 1 & 3 are coming along nicely : Plant 1: Plant 3 : Plant 2 appears...

    Second Grow, 2 plants, CFL Budget Grow. New Pics everyday

    Lookin' good ! Just nearing the end of my first indoor grow, so i know what it's like, you expect them to grow at least 6 inches a day.. How much lighting have you got in there ? how ever much it is, you probably need more !!

    Meave's first CFL grow, short stuff #1

    'Afternoon peeps. Well according to my calculations, it's about time to harvest !:clap: (Short stuff's info says 8/9 weeks, and 8 x 7 = 56, and it's day 56 ..) ...but i'll probably give them a few more days. They all germinated on the same day, but they're looking decidedly different. Here are...

    Meave's first CFL grow, short stuff #1

    Evenin' all. So, day 47 and all appears to be going swimmingly. Have decided to restore the quarantined plant and have repotted all 3. I've also been giving them a slug of this stuff. They seem to like it. They're a mixed bunch... One appears perfect, loads of flower and the old glisteny stuff...

    Cheers. Yes, that is next on the agenda ! I'm going to get a pc fan and experiment with some filter materials ... Could do with some temperature lowerage so i can have both lights on.

    Meave's first CFL grow, short stuff #1

    Oh well, nothing much to report, except everything's going well and 2 of the plants are fine (although 1 is 3-4" taller than the other one !) I've removed 1 from the light box as it was looking a bit suspect (here is the story about that). It looks female but just a few whispy female type bits -...

    OK, i give up. How do i ....

    let's see .. Ah ! So i need to do it all manually, like enter (color=red) and (/color) except with square brackets obviously ... but then the bloody editor shows what it thinks i'm trying to achieve so if there's a mistake i need to enter the whole lot again ... How annoying ! S'pose i could...

    OK, i give up. How do i ....

    a) change the colour of a hyperlink, so people know there's something to click ?! b) get the editor to show the html code so i can edit it. it just shows the final view - i would expect that just in the preview. Cheers people.

    Meave's first CFL grow, short stuff #1

    Day 30 .... Apart from this slight panic, all's well. I have taken to freezing a bottle of water and placing it in front of the temperature controlled fan (see above) as it was just blowing hot air around. This keeps the temp down if i want to go out and leave the cabinet closed with both...

    Hi all. I've noticed a difference in one of my plants .. They're all Short stuff #1, autoflower regular seeds, grown under CFL, all receiving the same treatment, but while 2 are definitely female and looking good, the other is slightly taller and has fewer whispy "flowers". I was sure it's...

    Meave's first CFL grow, short stuff #1

    Lovely !! Have put up one of them there reed diffusers which has disguised it a fair bit. It's not too much of a problem - we can open the window a bit at night if necessary i suppose. You'll have to tell us what you think ...

    Pre-flowers ?! They're showing POST flowers already.. after about 20 days ! They're autoflowers, so what i was hoping for. Harvest should be around 56 days, but probably i bit longer (if we can resist...) Pop round and see 'em for yourself ! I'll try and get some clearer pics later on.

    Meave's first CFL grow, short stuff #1

    I sometimes put both lights on, but usually just the one due to heating issues, that's why i've just added the temperature controlled fan. I'm hoping to have them both on - the more light the merrier ! Maybe i will get a smaller blue spectrum bulb (26W or what ever i can get hold of) to...
