Strawberry Haze CFL soilless organic LST grow

Some pics entering 6th week of flowering. Nice flowery smell!

Smelling plenty

nice grow. I'm about to start my first all cfl grow after doing several grows with a 600w hps. Kinda skeptical about it, but your grow looks good, keep posting updates!

Thanks a lot! I chose CFLs for a couple of reasons: lower cost to buy and operate, and I feel they are safer. I think the key is to set up lights to try to reach the whole plant from close distances. I built a home made light fixture which allow a little placement. I then strung up a lamp upside down and also bought a parabolic fixture from home depot to shine on the back of the plant. Because I set up so close, I did have a few burnt fan leaves, so you'll have to look at them everyday and reposition often.

Best of luck on you grow!

I flushed the lady today (1st time for a major flush). Many of the fan leave edges and tips have browned, so I want to start fresh by flushing out the nasties.

Most of the leaves are brown on the edges and tips, and the leaves feel crunchy. I don't want to change anything now. I'll fert one more time at the next watering to give a couple of weeks fert-free before harvest.

She fell over when I pulled her out to water (center of gravity is outside the rootball). Do you think she would have lost some tricomes by falling?

I flushed with RO water today. A lot of burned leaves near the top that I trimmed off, probably from the heat of the lights. I cut off a little sample that I'm quick drying to see the potency at this stage. It looks like many of the trichs are turning milky.

A 4 hour ordeal to chop up my only plant.

The main buds are just hanging on chains in my grow box, with the exhaust fan on for air circulation (no fan blowing on the buds).

I've retained the resinous leaves and popcorn buds for water curing in 4 Mason jars. The plan is to change out the RO water every day for 7 days.

I had about 20 grams of 7-day water-cured leaves plus bottom popcorn buds which I then dried on low heat in a dehydrator. I then made cannabutter with 1/2 lb of unsalted butter. These made about 30 peanut butter cookies.

The cookies had absolutely no cannabis flavor, so I thought my recipe didn't work. I was hungry so I ate 3 cookies. About an hour later, I was scary high for several hours. This really freaked me out! Hot and cold flashes, dizzy, very dry mouth. I woke up with a killer headache and nausea. Is this normal???

A week later, I had half a cookie. This also messed me up for a few hours. I drank lots of water, so no headache.

I'm thinking that I will stick to smoking because this high is scary. Thoughts??

that grow looked exceptional, did the smoke have any hint of berry/strawberry at all? either way very nice for cfls

Thanks for the props. I haven't smoked any yet - I'm still curing. I will try some tonight and let you know because, like I said, I'm through with the cookies - very potent.
