CFL'S whoknew?
Member
I have tried many times over the years to grow, indoors and out. I had some moderate success once with an outdoor grow.
Last year I decided to try an indoor with cfls on a whim. I had never heard anything about it but it worked. Only problem was, I had one plant, it went male.
I am just using bagseed, not sure what strain, just know it was some very decent MIDS. I dont save them unless it is good.
When i started I knew nothing about the different cfl's, 2700k, 6500k meant nothing to me, but now i know ALOT more, thanks to this forum. However i have SO much more to learn. I started with 5-27w cfls for 2 plants. I am pretty sure they were all 2700k. I will get 6500k for next time. I now have 5-26w cfl's and 2-68w cfls, all 2700k.
I used expert gardner soil from walmart,it was pre fertilized, but not very strong .07-.01-.03 i think. I also fed them some miracle grow for tomatoes occasionally. I went to 12/12 after about 6 weeks of veg because i am impatient, LOL. The first showed female after only 4 days, the other showed a few days later. I am now 6 weeks into flowering. I know i have some elongation, but i am getting some nice colas now that i have BETTER lighting. I feed them just water and molasses every watering, i did give them a weaker than recommended dose of miracle grow bloom blaster(10-52-10) a couple of times.
The pics arent the best, but tell me what ya think.
These first pics are the big lady, she is tall and long with lots of tops, maybe a little elongated??? Purple stems, is this a deficiency??
this is my small lady, she only has 3 main colas, and appears to be farther along than the other, also pics of her trichomes
