First closet grow

im getting so damn anxious now.....
dali is doing great and packing on the weight at trichs
she is vamping herself, lower old leaves still slowly yellowing
and is guzzling down the water and nutes,
she is looking reall healthy with the exception of the curled leaves that never straightened out ><
her leaves are turning a nice dark purple and buds are turning a nice frosted purple color few of the smaller buds a heavy purple color
day temps are steady at 75 and night is at 68.

clone #1 is still trucking along... not happy and i think it is popping out a male bannana
i think the accedental Nasty nute burn she got is doing the trick.
its strange...i originaly planed to stress her and had abandoned the idea of it planning to just over mature her... oh well lol
C#2 is doing fine its going to be a single 2 in cola lol starting to wonder if its going to turn in to a bud ball its interesting in its growth and just goes to show that the 24hr reveg of clone to root is needed for a good bud, C#2 is a flowering clone directly in to 12/12 after cut
will work well for the test though lol this grow has been a blast so far and i have learned alot about control and nutes as well as many other things.
pics will be up the next time i get a chance to get them.
:peace:
 
when it comes to flushing, how long do you think is needed with a full organic grow.
ive read every were from 3 days to 2 weeks,
dali already had a time of nute drought after finding the overnute. so i dont think it will take much.
being day 49 i find myself struggling to hold of takeing my sample buds i have 3 of the smaller branches picked that i will pull and cure for 4-20.

pics pending aproval with more to follow tomorrow in better lighting
:peace:
 
thank you joe, im happy with how much ive learned. i plan to splerge for a 400hps but im gona have to waite untill im in a better place to grow, will be moving soon. i might have time to do one more scrog cfl grow before i move but we will see theres been some big changes in my apt complex so i might not risk it.

i think i might take one of the tester branches tonight, and the others on the 10th as was planed. and flush will start next tue giving 5 days more or less of flush.
these buds are like rocks now i can only imagin after cure......
still waiting on pic aproval, more being taken tonight at lights on so when i get back home tonight there will be a BIG update!
on another subject my budy and my out door grow ia ready and waiting for this damn Colorado weather to straighten out lol there will not be any pictures of the plants hopefully ill get pics of finished product.
there are 12 girls already sexed siting at 2ft tall atm. holes are dug and the river irigation is set up on a stretch of a creek on private land
lol ive stalled long enough so pics will come soon.
 
welcome polska!
the main difference between a veg and a flower room is the light timing veg being 24/0, 20/4, or 18/6 flower is 12/12 generally
make sure that u use a good mix of the 3 light spectrums for good dense growth the more the better when it comes to cfls.
good luck start a journal and you will get plenty of help this site is a gold mine for info take a few months and read everthing you can lol

and now for the pics!!!!! YAY!!!!

to start heres the mayhem with the lights

Your plants look wonderful and you got some really great pics!
 
thanks herb, berry, and boss!
boss my thought on the density of the buds for cfl.
when you did your regular grow with all the plants you had 30 cfls spread out to cover all the plants, when you did your 12/12 you only had 6 plants that were shorter in comparison and had confined them to a smaller space to work with if i remember correctly this gave you a higher Lumen/space ratio. this is what i think caused your 12/12 buds to be tighter and denser. this is part of the reason that i have done the best i could to enclose my plant with as little surrounding room while keeping my temps low and lights close.
i feal that my grow has proved that fact. ive seen grows that the cfls were outside of 3 inches from the plant and the buds have been significantly looser in density.
my lights are with in 2in at all times the colas are all super dense while the buds that are more than 3 in are sugnificintly looser that the colas.
it just goes to show that cfls can work as long as the light is highly concentrated.

my other thought is that the very tight light spectrum might have something to do with it as well

im thinking my next cfl grow will be a scrog or a 12/12 in a 2'X2' 4"tall box with all 20 Cfls attached to the top for a level light canopy just to test a few more things.

Your plants look wonderful and you got some really great pics!
thanks herb its a big ordeal taking pics the camera alone will not take pics worth while(my phone takes better ones lol) to get the pic quality that u see i have 3 jewlers lupes that i use a 5x for the regular pics a 15xfor the close up and than the 30x for the real close ups and trich shots. it takes about an hour to get 10 good pics have to hold the lupes over the lens (my hands shake like a mad man have to hold my breath prop my arms on something and take about 5 pics before going to next shot lol)

pics are approved so the rest of yesterdays update is to come
:peace:
 
Awsome buds, do i see a lil purple in them?

ok that it enjoy the bud porn
as always any ideas thoughts comments welcome
will begin flush on the 14th (5day flush) on the 10th ill take the another tester and one on the 13th as well unless recomended against it
thank you all at 420 magazine and all members YOU ROCK!!!!!:tommy::headbanger:
:allgood: out!
 
Awsome buds, do i see a lil purple in them?

YUP that be purple poppin!
one of the buds is almost completely purple (shown above with and with out flash)
dali's phenos remind me of one of my Ak outdoors that i hade a few years ago with her leaves turning dark purple and buds just frosting purple and keeping a green complection in the buds.

:Rasta:
 
thank you all for the praise you all rock if it wasnt for having all of your journals to look though and keep me going as well as all of the wonderful info here on this site i doubt i would have made it this far.
I want a HPS sOOOOOooo bad just cant afford it atm but it is in a future grow.
i know im gona be doing a scrogg and 12/12 clones (like #1) from now on.

i cant wait to see your scrog journal going Joe. i checked out your scrog pics and out of all the scrog grow pics ive ever seen yours definitely has the most level canopy.



18 lights for one plant has definitely done me well i think im going to be lucky if i hit 2 oz
im thinking its more around 1.5 oz but ya never know i could be surprised! still got 10 days to go and ive heard that they pack on 30% of the weight in the last 10 days.

these last days are definitely hard lol
trichs are at 70/30 pulling another tester tonight
 
i spend so much time in my grow area that it doesn't matter if i had room for my recliner id probably fall asleep in there to lol

im working on plans for my next grow cabinet (though it might b a few months for me to get in to a new place that i can afford.....)
it will have a spot for the scrog grow and a separate chamber for a no mercy 12/12. so i can have a perpetual 12/12 going for smoke, and veg the scrog till its ready to flower.
the box i started with (not the cardboard box)
