Yeah I'm getting nervous as hell right now. I'm in the winter storm sweeping through the ohio valley. Its been freezing rain all day....there is ice everywhere. I really hope I do not lose power for any significant amount of time. If i did lose power, how long would I have.......anyone know? Dammit, I don't think I am going to sleep tonight!!!!

Swale, have you thought about investing in an Uninterruptible Power Supply or UPS?
You can get one that will run a 300W computer for 20 minutes without power, if only running a couple of air pumps, it should hold out for over and hour or so. You can get one starting at about $50. Get them anywhere... walmart, target, best buy, circui--- oh wait, they're out of business.

how often do you guys get blackouts? over here i get storms all the time but blackouts dont usually occur at all. so i guess you should be ok. btw i paperclipped LST to some holes i poked along the circumference of the pot. fishing weights would work to some extent but you would have to keep adding weights daily because plants are pretty strong =P

Well, I know it's only been a couple days since my last update, but I am bored so this gives me something to do. I think I might be out of the woods as far as my power going out. If I can make it to Sunday I am golden! Thanks to all for the help/suggestions concerning a power outage. Not really anything new. Buds just look a little bit better, and my smaller plant is coming along well. So I won't keep you waiting!
Bud shot on the bigger plant.....
Another bud on bigger plant...
Finally, buds are forming on my smaller plant!!!!!

Picture of both of the girls!!!
I am thinking my smaller plant is about 2 weeks behind my bigger one. It seems the vertical growth of the bigger girl has slowed considerably....I doubt it will get much taller. A week or so ago I trimmed maybe 5-7 fan leaves off the bigger plant to allow more light penetration to the lower buds and I believe it has worked out fantastic. So, I decided to trim a couple fan leaves off my smaller plant....i think 3 or 4. Thanks to all who have been following the journal and offering advice. I'll leave you now with a shot of 2 fan leaves i trimmed today.
Thanks for looking!

DAY 30 of Flower
Not much more to report. But, I am now a full 30 days into flowering. Buds on the bigger plant are starting to fill out a little more. Buds on the smaller plant are coming along slowly but surely. The leaves on the bigger plant are a lot darker shade of green than the smaller plant. The look of the buds just makes me want to invest in a HPS. CFLs are awesome, but I can't wait until my next grow with a HPS light. I can't really think of more information to give you all so here are some pictures!

Bud shot on smaller plant...a little farther behind growth wise...
