CFL GROW
DAY 90 LIFE

DAY 1 FLOWER

STRAINS - 1 Sativa / 1 Indica.

CLONES - 10... 3-INDICA 7-SATIVA


ALright here we are entering day one of flowering. I really meant to start the journal earlier but never got to it and now seems like the best time to start.


We will be tracking my two plants that just went into 12/12 as well tracking my 10 clones i have taken from these two plants and another that i just got ride of. Looked like it just wasnt goin to make it and it was taking to much space so i cloned what i could a ditched it. The plants are old and BIG. Both just around 90 days old which i know is way to long for veg....shecudualing problems took us here.

SO I AM A CFL GROWER......PLEASE DONT HATE ME!!!! I am a broke college kid so from the start this was an expierment that was goin to be budgted....after they did so well in veg now i am putting a lil money in. also have my reasons for stayign away from hps and MH. I know im loosing a bit of yield but i will make up for it with CFLS. RIght now i have 8 23 Watt 1600 lumen a pop goin and plan on getting more as i go. Two OTT LIGHTS as well.


I JUST ABOUT POPPED A BONER WHEN I GOT BACK YESTERDAY!!

I am guessing since i left them in veg for so long that the preflowers have really matured. I BELIEVE/HOPE/PRAYING, that what i see in some these pics is some lady hairs. Not 100% so please let me knwo what ya think..... Heres link of some pics please let me knwo what ya think.

SATIVA DAY ONE FLOWER
cfl grow
day 90






Im planning on getting a 30x-100x magnifier to really get a good look, but if my research is acuret i think i have a gil on my hands!!!

The other plant that got trashed i took clones from had these same hairs so im hoping to god that the clones take.

Heres pics of the indica which shows no real signs of these lil hairs/pistols what ever you wnat to call them. It is a very dif strian though so maybe they arnt showing yet. AS LONG AS I DONT SEE FOOTBALL THINGYS I THINK IM GOOD.

Day 90

I mean i guess there is no real sign of footballs here but no real signs of hairs either. WHATS YA THINK????


CLONES

So i did plenty of homework until i felt comfortbal enough to duplicat these babys. I took 3 from each besides PS1 and i took four from her, just cuz i was so confident that she is a girly. SO i have a total of ten clones right now under one 23 watt cfl and a 100 watt incondecent which im using just for warmth. I rooted them with a hormon called roottone i picked up form local garden center.....people on there were freaks i know something interesting was growing in these sheds. Nice though def flower childs. Guy in there hooked me up with trays and pots for free!!!! So i cloned yesterday into stright soil not rockwool or anything so i am a tad hesitant on how well they will do. I have them goin 24 hours a day and a makeshift dome. Letting them dry out a bit befor watering. I hear biggest mistake is over weatering clones. Hardest part here is getting them to take root. ONCE THAT HAPPENS IM IN!

im talking bout a little more light,u can get a cheap,mint setup at ur hydro shop,get a 250 hps mh dual spectrum kit.

if u cant go to wallmart and get some cfls,get like 8 42w 3200k bulbs,that will give u an additional 20000lumens, and that will give u an real nice harvest

WAckY - Yeah thats my plan just got some more loot today actually so im heading out tomorrow to get some mylar and im thinking 6 more cfls......the best bang for my buck is getting the 23 watt cfls that put out 1600 lumen. With 6 more cfls and the two OTT LIGHTS i got goin i will have close to 22,000 lumen for two plants maybe even one if this indica turns out to be male. AS for hps i really wish i could hell of lot cheaper then buyign tons cfl junk.....but for my setup i just cant do hps for heat reasons and ventalation and all that. Someone gave me good idea n chat tonghit about buying the y adapters that plug into a socket like a walll scocket.....then buy power strip, plug in 5 y adapters and that ten lights right there...would work nicly for developing some nice headies perhaps. I am most worried about size right now....the indica not so much but the sativa is already about 36 inch high goin into day one of flower...i only have maybe about 2 half more feet to work with....think that will due?

ALrighty...went out and got some stuff today at lowes did it for just under twenty bucks. I got myself 3 scocket adapters that you can plug right into a wall socket or in my case a power strip that im making into a light fixture persay....


I must say i give credit to "Yourlocal" on the chat rooms. So now I have a total of 11 Lights at a combined 15,000 lumen. All lights are 2700k. I am trying to rotate plants as often as possible. I know this still isnt enough but im going to just keep adding. Hope to get close to 30,000 L by end week 3.

I also picked up some Orchord Bloom Booster.


11-35-15...
Seemed right to me just new that middle number had to be high. IM planning on watering half of whatever it recomends and slowly building it up. ANYONE HAVE ANY TIPS WITH BOOSTERS PLEASE LET ME KNOW... Picked up spray bottle to get clones wet. Heres a QUESTION does anyone know if its okay or good to water or spray down clones with some rooting hormon diluted in the water??? Im goin to test it tongiht on some of teh weaker clones see what happens. Lastly, i got myself thermomter. It kinda scared me. I am just under 90 degrees....the therm is top of closet so maybe heat rises?? ..Most likly im just lieing to myself. I got a fan in there and keep it on medium which blows the girls around a good amount. 90 is way to high right? Im thinking keeping door cracked when lights on and keeping fan on high even...HELP POSS????

Still need to construct some type reflecters for my lights...thinking maybe soda cans somehow or somthing like that. Waiting for lil money and then mylaring the closet out. One more issues im running into is the amount of cords i ahve to deal with... once i get all cords and lights that im happy with ill orginize cords acordingly.


So im trying my best to ditribut light the most eficent way possible but its tough... Throw a pic up of how i ahve it now.




Still no real sign of sex on the lil indica...since i havent seen any hairs like the sativa im really scared that its a male!!!! I dont see any lil balls yet though either so fingers crossed. Also one more thing i pinched the sativa pretty good to the point where it tilted a little even, i did it about 10 inch from top. Not even sure why just hoping to stunt growth laterly as much as i can. WHO KNOWS!!!

that is a real good fertilizer. i love it,i always use it. works beautiful,the smell isnt as strong as others so that helps with storage.

do a nig a favor and fix your electrical entanglement and start grounding some wires,thats a fucking fire hazard

You may want to transplant those plants they are going to get big and you dont want them root bound

Alright got some stuff done today. Reflected walls with foil.....i know not as good as mylar and can burn the plants but since im using cfls (low heat) I think ill be fine. Better then nothing....Also mcygverd two hoods out of foil...once again better then nothing. Overall i see a dif in amount of light on the plants so i def think its an upgrade. The plants seem to be doing okay...more hairs developing on sativa, i think i need to back off and just let them grow. The pics came out lil dark since i was on sunlight setting....this isnt really how dark it is.





The Indica still not showing any hairs or pistols like the sativa. NO sign of male is the upside i guess. Took two shots of her. This plant grew werid, very bushy...the fan leaves grew right and the rest very oddly. ANYONE with any sex predictions please let me know?

INDICA




Sativa's fan leaves gettign lot brown spots. Read that clorien in the tap water can do this. i dont always let it sit for tewnty-four hours.


I have gotten the heat issue under control...during light we crack the door and have the fan shooting air out. Went from 90 degrees to high 70's if it gets lil cool we shut it more works kinda well.




Clones seem to be doing well, some new growth from tops and green....ALL about the roots though soo i dont know. I might yank one or two shitty ones in a few days to see if they taken root at all.
