Hey all...
I am nearing harvest on my 1st indoor grow and i'm looking for opinions on how i"m doing.
I started with a 4ft 2X40 watt flourescent and have since added 9 more to bring me to 800 watts. I didn't discover this site until halfway through my grow so my lighting may seem odd to the veterans.
I like the flourescents because they keep my room at a reasonable temp and don't require me to vent my room to the outdoors which could alert the neighbors. What is the major downside to 4ft flourescents? Everyone who has been growing for awhile seems to be using HPS... Is it just because you only need 1 light instead of my 10? I am using grow bulbs as well as just regualr cool whites as this helps to cover all the spectrums of light. Does using the flourescents slow the growing process?
My plant is a White Widow and the flowering is in week 11. I started flushing 1 week ago and plan on harvesting in 1 week. I bought a jewelers microscope that was supposed to be 30X but i think it's more like 10X The trichomes are still mostly clear and my concern is i'm going to harvest too soon and not get as much weight.
I attached some pics for you all so you can let me know if i should go ahead with the harvest in a week or if i should postpone for another week or what. Any constructive advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks
