Congrats on your first grow! She looks great to me! I'm on my second grow, and my growth has felt really slow on my current plant, been running into some weird issues. But your girl looks great and she seems to be growing really fast. Well done. I'm curious to see how she shapes up. Subscribed!

hi guys it has been a week since last update.
My girl official in flowering stage, i switched my light schedule to 16/8 and give her flower nute DD
She grows like 1 inch per day, so i have to raise my light every 2 days .

[pallocup]

She's looking awesome! Though if you're changing the light schedule for flowering, it should probably be more like 12/12 (or is it different for autos?)

hello and good day!!!!!! autos can flower in any light schedule mate and ppl said more light = more yield so i do 16/8 for now maybe turn to 12/12 in the last 2 week.

 

[pallocup]

Sweet, more yield is good How are you liking the CFL? I am considering trying a grow with CFL, to this point have only grown with LED. People seem to be having some really nice results with CFL (yours included).

 

[herby40]

Shes looking beautiful, keep it up. My mum loves Tea aswell!! Im more of a coffee man although only one type, latte

so far so good with CFL, but it seem the bigger the plant is, the harder the light penetrate to the lower branches. I also give her a couple of hours in sunlight for lower branch to grow.
