this is my first grow, i am in week 4 of flowering i live in greece and i would love to grow outdoor as the plants here can grow in monsterous size i dont want to risk it for the pigs to find my crop and here where i live in corfu im propably the only one growing indoor in a closet but i want some opinions of my grow cause for me they seem to flower in a very slow rate compare to what ive seen happening outdoors and two of them have the claw how can i fix this? ofcourse i know my lighting and the whole setup is not up to scratch but i would like some opinions on my grow for the amount of light im giving them and the whole setup.. my setup is crap and i know but im just experimenting..

here is some info:
use regular garden soil
i water them every other day 1 litre
lighting alltogether does not exeed 300 watts from shity cfl's
my pot is a 2 gallon pot
the temp is 13 at night and 25 with light
i have never fed them
strains are uknown but two plants are the same strain as they are identical and got those seeds from the same bud cause alot of weed here in greece comes with seeds as its badly grown those 2 plants have the claw and look like sativa and my other smaller one looks like sativa/indica and that one looks perfectly healthy but as i said im afraid incase i get very little weed at the end for the amount of electricity spent lol.. and the main collas are around half a thumbs length is this quite bad for 4 weeks of flowering?

Dude, the plants look shitty because they are NOT getting enough light. If, you had ONE 300w CFL Lamp, Your plants would look 100% better. I know you're "just experimenting", but the fact is, Indoors, the NUMBER ONE important thing is Good, Strong Light. fix that, and I am sure your skinny plants will turn into some FAT COLAS. Peace, Greece :leaf:

Hello guys again just posting some pics from week 5 flowering since the flip to 12 / 12 ... i chopped one of the plants down cause it grew balls like lady Gaga lol... but hopefully my other 2 can get a bit more light and some more nutrients and I can have a couple of joints from the plant I cut :)

MORE LIGHT !!! :idea: ... easy on the nutrients. As a general rule, use 100w CFL/Sq.Ft for Optimal Results, and Fat buds. There ya go-

Good Read rich26, I started out with CFL, and even though some folks will say You are wasting your time, its not true with a little dialling in of your Setup you WILL get better and better yields, plus more experience at what you are doing and how you are doing it..

Good Luck with next Grow, and IF you stick with "shitty" CFL just look into it a bit more and you will found loads of awesome ideas and tips and tricks to improve your harvest.
