1st Afghani CFL Grow - Pics - Advice Welcome

You may need to defoliate soon. I usually dont but in your case I recommend it.I hate transferring. Not because it is more work but because I get consistently better results every single time by growing from seed in its final container size.

Agreed. The less you have to move or transplant the better it grows. That's been my experience anyways.

It is looking good
I think I am going to clone this one branch and try to perfect growing Afghani

Here's some pics the second one is the one I want to clone

Thanks need more lights tho ha still looking for a good cheap led. Like 180w for below $90
And 300w for below $130

 

[SmokerJoe]

Dont go to cheap when it comes to led please trust me on that. You want at least 3 watt diodes. You can get 90 watt ufo from dormgrow. g8led but they are red or blue amongst other single color led but they make great accompaniment and you will ged great results with the red one in flower. It helps increase the yield I firmly believe

Yea I was looking into a 300wat full spectrum panel at first but decided to go the UFO route for now get between 75-90w to throw in with my CFLs
I noticed in my area they stopped selling 6500k daylight bulbs at 23 and 42w only 13w. They have them at 5000k :/
And that was at home depot Lowes and walmart

:OK guys here's the pics did some more lsting a little trim and I checked the clone it seems to be doing fine. I must remind you I did not intentionally clone it. While I was getting ready to tighten the string a bit I noticed it just laying there so I figured might as well try since right ? Well here ya go enjoy

Start putting knots in that stem so it can hold itself up. Its getting a bit crowded so you might want to train the stem to go sideways some after the knot is formed. Its all about making it stronger and space out the growth so it isnt overcrowded.

OK guys I shall post some pics tomorrow of the plant. Just got a deal on a 180watt led for under $100 should be here Tuesday hopefully before I go to work. And I will see if it helps out the way I'm hoping for.
Right now I'm having a bug problem. They're small little flying bugs kinda look like gnats

I had a Gnat problem that I believe I solved by covering my soil with a layer of Clay Pebbles about an inch deep. Good deal on the light. I'll be getting one soon I hope.

 

[SmokerJoe]

Ready for some pictures.

 

[jawon]

I've been taking quite s few pictures ha
And
Clay pebbles you say? Hmm I shall try that.
It'd funny how the plant looks now compared to two ish weeks ago.

When I get the light IMA veg one more week and then start to flower but IMA take a clone or two.

 

[SmokerJoe]

Well yeah but 5 days ago. I want to see the new changes and make sure your plant is healthy before you switch it over.
