There's the Pure Power Plant (PPP) growing in my closet

[TxState]

Day 42, one plant is 15" tall and the other two are 12" tall!
and guess what......

THEY ARE FLOWERING ON THE VERY FIRST DAY!!!! I just checked the plants and all three already have white hairs coming out, they have only had one night with 12/12!!! They are also looking very healthy. I'm VERY pleased with this grow so far! What do you guys think???

Sweet Jebebus!!! They is pretty. My baby is 17 days behind, can't wait to she at your stage.

I kind of lost track of this grow... These pics were taken two or three days ago. There is starting to be many white hairs on all of the plants, in fact the pics dont do justice of how far along the plants have came... One is 24" tall, 20" tall, and the other one is 18" tall. I will have more up-to-date pics maybe in a couple of days, possibly tomorrow...

Today they are in day 55 (14 days into flowering) but these pics were taken about 2 or 3 days ago... pics taken while these ladies were gettin some water

Good to see the ladies have progressed well and healthy, the early flowers are coming in full.

My goodness those ladies are the picture of health. Fantastic.


Question: Is it a single (2) tube 4' fluorescent fixture? Do you know the rating in the tubes? Great results.

First off thanks for the comments!

Im using two 4' T8 light fixtures each with two bulbs, one warm (3800 lumens) and one cool (3700 lumens) in each light fixture... Light fixtures were only $10each, and $20 for four bulbs, so my total lighting for this entire grow is only $40.

hey man im very impressed with this grow, i have almost an identical light set up , but i was wondering if your flowering under the same bulbs you grew with?

Good question... The answer is no. For young plants/veg I only use one light fixture, and that light only has the COOL bulbs. Once the plants start getting wide (about 8" wide) I hang up the second light fixture, again with only the COOL bulbs. When I switch to 12/12 I take out one cool bulb out of each light fixture and put in a warm bulb in its place... Hope that helps!

thanks, have you noticed any diffrence in the yeild or bud quality, by flowering under the tubes? i have it planned to use a hps for flowering, but if there wont be a big diffrence i will save the money and on electricity. you know? i have a veg closet set up, posted in the grow journals tell me what you think.. thanks alot

I have heard by using HPS people do get a more denser bud and possible bigger buds... But I don't have the money to buy a HPS and don't want to pay for the extra eletricity either, i mean shit these fluorescents only use 64 watts per light fixture, plus HPS lights create a lot of heat, fluorescents hardly make any heat!! IMO, four foot fluorescents are the best bang for your buck as far as lighting goes...

I also heard that about using the hps for flowering. but with the money im saving by using the fluororecents i can afford this set up i found at my local hydro shop. (texas hydroponics and organics) 400 hps with ballast for $184.99u cant beat that! Thanks again for having the proof that these lights can and will get the job done. + rep
