Just started to flower in my "dresser". The room has changed a bit, added another 42w cfl, and made a fixture/reflector out of cardboard and mylar. Really just looking for opinions I guess, will add all the veg pics soon.

looks like you need a lot more light, how many bulbs u have in there? and that red and blue LED thing isnt doing anything just so you no, im not hating or anything. but other then that the plants look pretty good

2 x 42w CFL's right now... I took out the LED's a few days ago, they WERE for supplemental lighting, but... I gave the two smaller plants away aswell, so I can flower, and hopefully end up with a female out of the two

the plants look a lil stretched try moving them closer to your lights as well
they're closer now... I cut a white bucket (wine bucket?) in half and made a reflector out of it too... I veg'd under like 40w of light (2x 2ft 6500k tubes) so thats why they're stretched. other than that, they look alright though? i'll have some new pics up sometime this week

how big is ur dresser? jw, cuz i have 3 in mine and i got about 7600 lumens in there and i still feel like i need more lites (thats 4 100ws' and a 13w) but i kinda want my plants to be stretched cuz ill be taking clones. You could Top them, that would help with the stretching and keep it from getting too big

Quick question... I've got emergency blankets, that I can line the dresser with... or I've got a white cabinet that I can setup. eventually ill have one veg and one flower, but which is better reflectivity for right now?

use the blanket man, thats the best thing to use, the white is just a sub for that if u cant get mylar. but mylar is what u should stick in there and that will help out alot too with lite.

alright, thanks for the speedy reply. so i'll use the dresser to flower with the blanket, and set up the cabinet for veg when I get some extra money.

Seeing as I am Canadian, I may have to swing by walmart then and grab a light or two.

News: I am now left with one female (or so it looks), and the male has been cut out of the equation... New pics next week...

No new pics, unfortunately my camera is out of town... But for an update, my supposed girl is 100% female and coming along nicely.

Sadly though, I got home one day, to find my light had fallen, and burnt my 'cola'... So I had to top her since the top was burnt to a crisp.

I'll make up for the lack of pictures by next weekend, if anyone is interested.

- question: I heard if I cut the leaves off of my plant, it'll grow more buds... that doesnt seem logical, as the leaves soak up the light to make the buds, but maybe im wrong. can anyone comment on this? also, what can i do, besides adding nutes (which i've been doing) to increase my yield?
