Hello! I'm Back w/pics!! Happy Girls!

Alrighty, so I got an email from RIU wondering where I've been. Well I've been BUSY! LOL as you can see. I've been hard at it making babies (the green kind) nesting, nurturing, all that good stuff ! Its been quite a journey. So here we go....I have 5 going prolly 4 weeks into flower. I dunno...dont keep the best track of time, I do keep track of whats happening with em tho. Trics are abounding. This is 100% cfl. The mom of all is the one that to me looks kinda like a mum lol. She's the second pic. I have played bondage games with all of em. Especially mom as I had to keep her vegging till her babies caught up. Hence her mum like appearance. For nutes Im using Foxfarms blossom builder about 3 teaspoons per gallon they take about a gallon or so every couple of days and Im about to switch back to straight water as I think Im about 2 weeks or so out from harvest. Some will prolly finish before others tho. Anyway let me know what you think! Thanks!

Nice. Whats the strain?

I have absolutly no idea of the strain. It was bagseed, but as I have posted before if I saved seeds they had to be good. They are of indica descent. Last spring or early summer I posted pics of girls named Betty and Shirley. The mum like mom is the daughter of Betty. That was the first time growing for me and I didnt know what I was doing or looking at and as such someone hermied and I didnt know it. So not only do I have clones from her I have fem seeds!! The gods smiled ! Currently there are 3 new clones going I'll take babies off of them when the current crop finishes, veg them while the new babies catch up, hopefully to have 10 going. I dont think my box will support much more or even that many but we'll see!

Sweet!!!! Im getting excited seeing all those cfl's!!!!

How many cfl's & what watts for ur flowering???
Looking good!

Wow I knew you guys would want specifics. LOL! I'll do my best for ya. Ok I have a total of 12 light bulbs. 4 are 100w equivlents 2700k, 2 are 65w equivelents in the 6500k range, the rest well I think they are the 42w with one 23w all in the red spectrum. I really dont remember and I dont have the packages that they came in but when I shopped, I shopped with spectrums in mind . We had hella heat issues in the beginning and that forced us to cut a hole in the floor and switch exhaust fans. I had a 250cfm inline and that couldnt cut it, a friend gave me the fan I have now I dont know how strong the exhaust fan is but it works. Sorry I cant be more specific for ya.

Nice!! So ur saying u only have 12 bulbs for 5 plants??
Jus when i was contemplating an HPS for flowering... LOL...love it when u see the things u already have working jus fine!!!!!

Btw...u know if u add some more lights around the sides of those plants you will end up with a better yield? Jus a tidbit!

Yeah more lights would help but heat is a huge issue in the box. I have considered going with a small hps but I cant figure out what ballast to use and again the heat. I prolly tied some of them down a little to hard which is why some will finish first. Tis ok tho. CFL'S are the SHIT! If it aint broke I aint gonna fix it lol.
