if you add one 42 watt bulb you could get some decent sized nugs out of this plant. even as it is now it looks like itll produce but i would get more lights even the little 13 watters, they come in a 6 pack for about 10$ in the US. mount them all around the plant to get light everywhere.

instead of wiring all your lights you can get a extension cord and a few ac bulb sockets.


the ac bulb socket, about 1.25$ USD each at any home depot type store. there should be a similar part if youre across the pond.


screwed into a bulb ready to plug into extension cord.

x6 13 watts(78w total) - 10$usd
x6 ac socket adapters - 7.5$usd
extension cored - free, you will most likely already have a few of these around the house.

total = 17.5$ for 78watts of cfl lighting. 78w+125w = 203 watts total, which should be sufficient for that grow space.

sorry cant help you with the nutes as im still learning about that myself.

No, I'm not in America, yea I really do need some smaller CFL's for around the plant, do the small ones come in red? The pain is I'll have to get fixtures for them too

Just saw your post there Galvatron, those things that plug in straight into the sockets are brilliant

Yeah they come in red, the red spectrum bulbs will be labeled 2700k witch is the color tempereature, or if your going to your local hardware store the "general purpose" bulbs are in the red spectrum.

If you have any old shit lamps you have your self some free fixtures, or you could have the five finger discount if your really despereate, there preety small objects, and like galvatron said its a simple thing to install

Just looking at the plant there, I can see some hairs! Oh and the light, should I have it at the side of the plant now all the time or will I put it over it every once and a while?

Your Plant looks very good for a rescued first time grow. I can only think of a couple things to tell a first time grow. flower for a whole two months. Its going to at least double in hight. light is very important, and if that is the only light your going to get there is way too much foliage there, so your going to either get more light or remove lower branches. I didn't want to do it when I was told, but the lower branches don't get enough light and developed little immature buds, but if you remove the branches and trim the plant to have one large bud you yield more, and you get a better more mature bud. A plant that size indoors with that kind of light can be very prone to pests and disease. you should take steps to prevent them. good luck. Have fun

OK, I think my housemate has a digital camera so hopefully my computers card reader can read his cameras card or he had a lead. Anyway, the buds are coming along very nicely, it's been flowering now for 22 days and it's starting to smell too but you need to put your nose right up to the buds. Hopefully I'll get some pics up tonight or tomorrow
