First low budget closet grow///how am i doing???

well i have just one quick question for now ... my biggest plant #1 ( the one with alternating nodes ) has 3 leaves growing out per section instead of 2 like before, it is alternating but theres 3 sets coming out of each section of about an inch, ill post pics later but is this normal?

well i went to walmart today (unfortunatly it was after i spent most of my money) and i picked up a thermometer and a 150 watt equiv. cfl soft white ... and the temp in the closet is 80 degrese the plants are most likley loving the light and the light illuminates the entire closet passing light to the other plants im gonna go in a few days and grab 3 more cfl's ... the plants are gaining tons of white hairs and looking really good

update - - - - -

plant 4 the topped plant has also started alternating nodes the plants seem to love the new light even tho theres only one

ill be watching this one!!

do you have a pic of the pistils of your best plant? i wanna compare and see how thick and healthy they are to see if i'm on track... also waht day of flowering are you in?

im 2 weeks 2 days into 12/12 they only just went into full flower 3 days ago and already have many white hairs my biggest plant has nice healthy hairs and ill post pics in the morning thanks for the posts

one of the lights, the one over plant #2 fell a bit this morning and after turning the lights on for about 2 hours and going out i came home to find the light over this plant hanging really low and touching the top of the plant and burned quite a few white hairs and the top leaves pretty baly i then topped the plant and am hoping it will be ok .... also i sprayed the plants with fert and water 2 nights in a row forgetting i did it the night before and plant 4 ( the 1st topped plant ) has one side of the V top is dying, hoping it will pull out im gonna post pics really soon when my buddy gets here with the camera ......

pray for me i need all 4 of these plants

if you put too much ferts on the leaves
you should spray with plain PHed water
(or so I read somewhere) to wash off some of the chemicals.

I stopped foliar feeding completely myself
now that I started the 12/12 cycle the plants don't need them as much,
and I seem to only over do it myself when I spray em anyway.

sorry to hear about that light.
nail that sucker down now so it can not happen again!
looking forward to the picture update.

thanks alto im gonna post pics today when the camera gets here .... they love the 42 watt cfl its doin wonders making the secondary growth grow nicley the plants are starting to bush out. yeah i sprayed them down with just regular water to rinse them off just before lights out last night and i dont think im gonna spray them anymore mabey one more time with water to get more chems off.
yeah the light is hung up properly it will not fall again thank for the help alto and more pics tonight

hey bro, haven't reallly had the time to catch up, but can't wait to see some pics. Hope everything is going well!!!

yeah toolage its goin good i see your updates are doing amazingly well stretchette is looking monster congrats bro im gonna post pics up tonight if not the latest tommorow morning thanks for the support

quick question ......... if i only wait 10 weeks instead of 12 wont the weed have more of a head high than a body high i heard the earlier you take it off the more of a cerebral high you will get the longer you wait the more couch potatoe it gets let me know what u think.......

update - - - - - - -

glad to say all plants doing really good .... ive since fixed the yellowing leaf tip problems by no more fert foiliar feeding only in the soil

plant 1 - really tall 3.5 feet , nice buds starting to grow on this plant as you can see in the pictures , alternating nodes continueing growth , growth of leaves stopping quickness as a result buds growing and hairs gaining faster water level good
plant 2 - wasent doing to well in the begininng but is now shaping up to be the second best looking plant nice node sites on this plant with bud development pretty tall almost 3 feet i topped this plant because a light fell on it not developing upper branching yet
plant 3 - not doing as well a branch snapped as well as a little snap on the main stem 2 days ago approx. stopped growing height stayed the same almost 3 feet for a while buds developing still but slowed
plant 4 - no change in the dying top side rest looking well and buds starting to grow hoping it will pull threw and make some nice buds over 2 feet still loking ok the rest of it anyways

heres the pics tell me how it looks i think ( most pics of plant #1 i couldent get my eyes off it today aas well as the lens haha

heres the pics tell me what u think

looks kinda sparse
but i think that becuase you are using fluoros.
if so get some more fluoros in there!
and try to get them in the red spectrum.
healthy looking plants!!

number 1 looks great!!

yeah, they are healthy. can't you get a hps...you'll be amazed what a 400W can do

looking good bro
at first I was thinking you would not get much but they are moving right along
with all the time you have left they will fill out nicely I bet.
Good work.

thanks guys and yes alto im gettin quite excited i thought from haveing those incandecent lights i woulda been pretty screwed but now even with just 1 of the 42 watt cfls its making all 4 plants look bomb ... number one is producing nice size buds and im hoping for around 2 o.z.'s off this plant but 8-10 weeks left i think ill get a few monster buds in that time

o and by the way cheetah yeah my birthday is next month and my girlfriend is buying me one for my b day and for the next grow ill have the 400 watt hps light above the plants ( by the way how many plant you think i could grow with this ) and 4-8 42 watt cfl's around the sides and bottom
