Hello
So I am running the following lights. All are Fluorescent and I will list their actual wattage.
CFL Spiral Bulbs
7 @ 55W 2700K
3 @ 42W 6400L
3 @ 23W 2700K
1 @ 23W 6400K
Tubes
1 23W vertical tube 5000K
I have been running 3 t5 23W tubes overhead at 6400K
I just switched two of the tubes to 10,000K to frost the buds as they finish
I keep all my lights no more than 1" from the outer edge of my plants at all times and I have lots of fans blowing any remaining hot air that may linger. I am using Fox Farms liquid trio and I am excited about the grow. This is my 2nd plant ever and I just kinda started doing this on a whim. I try to keep every bud site with at least one direct light within 1" and they all plump up great. I see lots of multi-bulb setups where all the light is overhead. I feel that with these CFLs you really have to surround the plant with light. I did some training with supercropping methods along with some string training. When I could not get a light to a bud, I would bring the bud to the light. The last 4 pics are the most recent. These photos are all from two weeks ago.
I am doing fairly well, the only thing that is giving my pause is that a lot of my buds don't have a lot of hairs coming out of them and some of the buds seem more like really tight leaf pods almost. They are all very heavy and very dense. I have a slight feeling of it being a hermie, but having never grown I don't know what that would look like.
Tell me what you think and if you have any suggestions I am open to them.
