OK so today is the fourth day since the little baby girl peeked her pretty little green leaves out of the soil. Right now i am running a small setup of only 39 watts cfl. tomorrow im going to lowes to get more light, so tommorow ill probably have 3 or 4 42 watt cfls for this girl. I am using FF grow big right now. I have the lighting on 24/7 but tommmorow im gonna get a time so i can do 18/6, i like the 6 hours of darkness to promote root growth. I germed it for about a day and a half until i saw the little root, using the paper towel method and a heat mat on low.

heres her popping out of the soil

and heres my setup on day four

im gonna post pics every day, i never know when the earliest is to start LST so ill need you guys. i need to find a wide pot too. I figure why not LST it increases the yield by a bit and definitely maximizes efficienty of the light.

i think the size of the on you have is good..... when she starts getting bigger tie her down "fishing line or thin string" and make her curve around the pot the let her go to the light for the last home stretch!!!!

good luck but why am i saying that when im watching

i hope to get my camera fxed soon since you showed me yours Ill show you mine

Well here she is today, i got more bulbs so now i have 81 watts on her, i have a 42 watt bulb but i got it today and it doesnt work, if i smack it it flashes on real quick. i know its the bulb cause i tested it in different lamps that work. if i get it to work ill have 100 watts which i hear is the minimum.

Yea, but i feel so guilty cause im used to having a 250 watt hps, but i let a person borrow it and later found out hes scum and decided to keep it. i cant really do anything about it ethier so im moving backwards by using cfls. plus i have no money so i had to use YUCKEY Miracle grow organic soil. look how disgusting the soil looks. but at least i have great genetics and femmed.

dont water the whole pot because believe it or not she only has like 5 roots and they are about 3 inches long right now straight down just water where you plant is the rest is unessary untill she is way bigger not bad though!!!
