Hey everyone, I have a few questions on my girl.

This is my first grow,
CFL bagseed.
in a grow box with 4x 26w warm lights
1x 26w daylight
1x 100w total spectrum round bulb (idk why, I had it lying around and figured it needed more lights) tell me to toss it if need to.

I also have a Halogen 100w but havent put it in, should I?

I'm now 30 days into flowering and am feeding superbloom nutes 12-55-8 NPK once a week.

Questions I needed answered are:

-How much longer?
-is the lighting OK? (also about the halogen?)
-Should I be feeding more often?
-Tell me about feeding w/ molasses???
-And lastly will these buds fill out? They look tiny.
Thanks..
Joe

atleast a 250 hps and check your magnesium the tips of your leaves look like they are curling down sure sign tale use some epsom salt

First of all, probably about a month in a half...depending on strain.
Throw the halogen in the trash, it is way to hot and can burn and raise temperature.
Also you need some like 100w flowering cfl's. The daylight ones have a different light spectrum, that you need for flowering. They are the ones in the green pack at walmart....called like cool warm or something like that....or the red pack works also...Your buds will double but might end up a little spacy....dont raise the nutes, it looks good for now....maybe three more weeks...

Also get rid of the foil, use it to make some baked potatoes....mmmm...yummy....
anyways, put up some white paper, aluminum foil can cause very bad hotspots depending on the reflection that burns leaves and makes the room hotter...Put aluminum foil on bottom and top of the box...it works better. If anybody ever wants to see my setup or proof...just ask for pics...Peace....

Wow that makes me feel good; this is my only plant.
So I assume its going good?

Should I open the box up and wrap lights around the whole plant.??

I want to give this girl everything she can take.
thanks.

hmmm. tell me more. I thought it was that I had the lights too close. I've heard that the closer to harvest the more you may have nutrient deficiencies. What can I do about this.
thanks again.

if you need something low cost and cool get a 200w envirolite there good i use em there blue for veg and red for flower

cost round about 40 quid and plug straight into the wall no ballast needed

A Strain can take anywhere from45-120 days to flower.The more sativa(thinner leaves)take longer than a indica (fat leaves).I would let it go at least 60 days.Im very suprised its doing that well with that bloom food you use,its very low in K. I use this......FloraNova Bloom (4-8-7) works as a specialized nutrient to stimulate exceptional budding and blooming in plants.Stay Safe!!
