1st grow, 228w of CFL's, LST'd to the max, going for 15(ish) colas

Alright guys, so I've been looking around here a LOT lately! This is my first grow and it's going pretty good, so I decided that I've got to make a journal from here on out. I'm gonna post all the specs of my grow room right under this.

Ok, so to start off I was growing in a 55gal fish tank. Well after a couple weeks I realized this wasn't gonna work for the whole grow. So the construction began!
I built a grow room in the TOP of my closet, above where I hang all my clothes ect.

The Grow Room:
~Dimentions: 30"x48"x11&1/2" roughly = 2.5'x4'x.958333' which is just under 10 cubic feet.
~Lights (flowering): x4, 13w, 2700K CFL's - x4, 26w, 2700K CFL's - x2, 26w, 6500K CFL's - x1, 20w, 5000k flourescent tube = a total of 228w.
~Ventalation: x2, 50 CFM, bathroom fans for exhaust - x1, 50CFM, bathroom fan for intake - And a PC fan just circualting air around.
~All walls are covered with mylar, via (space blanket)
~Temps consistant at 82.9F
~Using MG potting soil/perlite - 4/1 (will NOT use MG soil again)
~Used MG All Purpose plant food for veg, and MG Bloom Booster for flower. Feed every other watering, and have to water about every 3-4 days now.
~Lights on 24/0 during veg, and obviously 12/12 for flower.

So I've been flowering for 24 days now. Have NO IDEA how long she's gonna take. Obviously a sativa dominate strain. She's a clone that I got and the guy I got her from didn't know what strain, just that it was some dank! Smells unbelievablly citrusy! Ummm, I can't think of anything else, if you can let me know!..

NOW for the fun part... PIX!

I have absolutely NO FUCKING clue why these damn pictures are not in the order I uploaded them in. I was trying to put the pix from oldest to most recent. Why in the HELL does it just throw the pix up there randomly? DAMNIT that shit's agrivating!

wow great grow cant wait to see it harvest. i hope it all goes well

Hey thanks bro! I'll be posting weekly updates with pix! So stay tuned! lol

I love Cfl grows! When I first ventured from outdoor growing to indoor growing that's all I used. It's ideal if your only planning on growing a couple plants and it deff produces some dank. Lookin real good for a first grow!

Couple new quick pix I took this morning.

its crazy how similer our plants look like in veg mine are stiil in veg and gettin bigger, your plants are lookin very good, what strain and how many weeks flower so far

I know mcpurple, our plants do look a LOT alike! lol. Thanks for the kind words!
I'm not sure on the strain, the guy I got the clone from didn't know what it was, just that is was some dank! haha, she smell unbelievablly citrusy though!
I started flowering on December 12th I believe? Not exactly sure. I know that she's been flowering for 26 days as of this morning... I think... haha

When are you planning on flowering MC?

im planning on swtching to 12/12 on monday but im not sure if i should give it alonger veg cuz my other plan is not healthy and if i only have one plant under a 600 watt hps it should have a longer veg to use up all the light, but its most likely monday witch means it woud of had a 34 day veg and i think that might be enough special since its going to double or triple is size when i do flower how much has urs streched

Yea I'd say it'd be a good call to start 12/12 on monday. Mine easily doubled in size, if not trippled. Do you have a journal goin? I'd like to watch yours flower! And compare results when the end comes. Just out of curiosity, since our plants look so much alike, we're just using different kinds of lighting. It'd be interesting to see.

Here's a pic 2 days into 12/12


And here is 15 days later

ya ur plant sure did stretch and yes i have a journal for ny plants it at the bottom of this post its called second mmj grow in blue, and yes it would be interesting to see the difference i am also usin a 600 watt hps for flower so i think it will strecth quite a bit more but i dont know yet, i am going to interoduce the hps today and leav on till monday when i induce 12/12, check out my journal more info on the grow in their

Alright... So I've re-modified the grow box, temps should be in check now. I will take some pix of the new set up tonight.

And after I do some very moderate pruning, I will take some pix of the girls! This evening I'll post em! After I get home from work!

EDIT: And I forgot, since I now have the heat under control. I am running 280 watts instead of 228... Every little bit helps!

Just updating with some pix from yesterday. This is I believe at 31 days 12/12..... I think... hahaha

Let me know what you think!
She is REALLY REALLY starting to STANK! It smells like straight citrus every time I walk into my appartment!

Yu know, I don't know what strain this is. I got the clone from my buddie, who got it off a buddie, and that buddie didn't know what it was, just that it was some dank and that he didn't have room for it. So I guess I'll just call it..... "LOST" ... hahaha, I dunno... Like the "lost" strain, or grown by "lost"fedexman..... hahaha

Oh god dude, I bet you can't wait! *I* can't wait to see them buds start to form on yours! It's gonna be a beast! I'm excited FOR you!

i think lost would be a good name for a strain u dont know, and the buds already look dank so it must be a good strain

Well I got home from work on friday, and she was a little thirsty. So she was wilting a little bit, no biggie, she purked right up about 15-20 min after getting watered. I got some better pix of the actual buds while she was wilting tho. So here they are.

Now she doesn't exactly look pretty in these pix, like I said, she was thirsty. You can see more of the buds growing though. And she is looking MUCH better now!

good thing u got them watered and they didnt dry up an crisp, still lookin good to

Oh yea they we're no where near drying up to a crist! Still extremely moist buds. She was just thirsty, that's all. lol

So what happened here? final weight?
