First grow and CFLs

cool thanks for the input nice looking plant you must be using a lot of light compared to my little setup

Thanks.
I started flowering with the same 98w that I used to veg, but have since added more to bring it up to 305w.

Youve actually got more room left than I thought, could postpone start of flowering a couple more days if you like. If it does end up getting too big then theres no problem with tying it down a bit, that will get you more yield anyways since it will fill up the top with more branches as the lower ones have the opportinity to grow up a bit.

Cool thanks for all the advice, i went ahead and gave her normal water again and now i have flipped to 12/12 this morning and my plant is no longer drooping looking very healthy... So my question now is, i have just flipped to 12/12 watered with plain water yesterday so my next feeding should i introduce nutrients for the first time? or just wait till 30 days. it is day 25 today.

I gave mine first food at 25 days.
Yours looks old enough that you could.
But, if you're uncomfortable, you could wait until you see some lightening of the leaves indicating she wants N.

funny now that i switched to flowering the plants looking healthier BUT lighter green color so i believe its Nutrient time! wish me luck on my next feeding hope she takes it well.. and yeah i will use 1/4 or 1/2 strength my first time. will be in one or two days. thanks for all the help .lets hope It's a female.. hopefully will show sex soon yeah?

lame... switched to flowering and was like cool look at all these tops but.. i looked closer at the "buds" and they were not buds lol turns out my plant ended up being male. guess thats what i get for not going the feminized or clone route... sorry for no update... i even LST the shit out of it to make it fit in my space but pointless i guess i learned some stuff this first grow though. but next one im getting a clone for sure, UGH!

Better to learn that early on anyways, thats what happened to me as well. Youve gathered some experience though and will do even better in the future.
