Yes, I am growing them organically, the medium is soil and my fertilizers are organic.

The only thing I want to get is a ph tester now, that is one thing I am not benig able to control, I ll get one soon.

Ok, here is the latest update, I am seeing very early pre flowers although I am still at 17/7, tomorrow is 16/8, so there is roughly 4-5 days to 12/12 :)

I decided to change to 12/12 as monday morning.

Sunday I will take a lot of photos as I am planning to take the plants out of the grow room, reclean my room, position my power switches and fans better. My ph tester is also on its way, I ll get it tonight, so I wont have ph problems anymore :)

An overhaul, before flowering, so I that I wont be forced to stress them in anyways later. Once I switch to flowering I dont want any fuck ups :)

By the way the plants started sucking the water out of soil, I have doubled the amount of water I put in and still they want more :)

Looking good man. I have a suggestion for you. I see the way you have your bulbs, and you could be getting more usable light from them if you positioned them sideways. I know it would be a little trickier but it would be well worth it over the course of the entire grow.

Very nice plants and setup with the cfl's. I love those indicas you got going on. Those things are going to shoot up like crazy when you start to flower. Big fat indica buds man. The only thing I dont like about flowering with cfl's if that the buds arent as dense as an hps. Still makes good smoke though.

My CFL buds are just as dense as my HPS buds. Just as dense! Of course it takes more CFLwatts than HPS watts to accomplish this. Most people who dont get dense buds from CFL's are either growing plants that dont make dense buds (some just don't), or they are not using their CFL's properly.

Ok I decided to keep them at veg until 1st of August, will get me a much better yield most probably as they are growing quite fast nowadays

Ok, I have installed my carbon filter along with its dedicated inline duct fan, not only my temps are down there is not even that early plant smell.
I could put two more cfl s and now 680watts of cfl and 144 watts of fluoro in there.
I am now running on 14/10
Plants are varying in size, the shortest is around 32cms (12.6inch)
The tallest is around 54cms (21.3inch)
There is still three more days until I switch to 12/12, I hope they will fit in this growbox hehe :)

Here is the photo of the filter and fan


Here are the babies

Guys, thank you for the words :)
They are getting better everyday, I want epsom salt, to foliar spray right before the lighst go off, I think magnesium would help the lower yellowing leave sets.

As of today they are on 13/11, 11 hours of dark most probably get them to flowering, but I will make it 12/12 in 2 to 3 days anyway.

It s time to see some flowers, I cant wait :)
