Yeah that's for sure ladyganja! I use to dream of doing this so bad! I studied for a year or so before ever growing and I was fortunate enough to get decent gear on craigslist (i'm a cheapo) so I skipped this step. Part of me wished I had grew like this during that study phase. You really are making it work! I totally want a CFL setup like yours for sprouting seedlings (to save power)

Like @CommanderCannabis said, don't worry too much about the yellowing at this point, however I would get your ph up to a 6 next time. Do you test the ph runoff? Tds/ec/ppm runoff? You are probably going to have to start your flush in a week or so, have you checked the tricomes? Pistils look about 50/50 which I think is about 2 weeks off, maybe 3.

@BeefWellingtons, ok thanks, the nute guide I am following said to keep ph between 5.5-6 so I will definitely be double checking the ph from now and do a bit more reading. Thank you for your help!

@LadyGreen, so the optimum ph for soiless is 5.8-6.2 or so, it's a range. Hydro is 5.5-6, w/sweet spot being 5.8, and soil grow is like 6.2-6.8, with sweet spot being 6.5... this is for maximum nutrient uptake. Feel free to investigate further as there is different schools of thought. But the biggest reason we see nutrient deficiency is from wrong ph which causes lock out, from what I'm told.

@BeefWellingtons, no, I don't test the runoff but I probably should huh. Is there a reason for a ph of 6? (just want to learn!) I have checked trichomes mostly clear. 2 more weeks at least.

I burned a lot of my tops before I supercropped the top colas. I had to do it as there was no more space and the buds were burning.

Ok thanks for the heads up! I had a big emergency (more burnt leaves) LST session yesterday with pipe cleaners so I'm hoping that does the trick

@LadyGreen, while it's not suggested, I had to do it else burn all my colas. You have to be very careful and they should be supported after so they can heal properly. There is also a technique to do it so it's not pinched so much at the site. I basically did it about a foot down the cola and bent at about a 65 degree angle. I was freaked out but it was that or watch my fat colas burn up on the light. It did add an extra 2 weeks or so to my grow, but in the end completely worth it. It was a last resort type of thing that worked out for me.

LadyGreencommented6 years ago

@BeefWellingtons, can I supercrop in flowering? Cos that's what I might need to do!

@LadyGreen, growing mj really made my life better in many ways.. only thing i kinda regret is not knowing about how great it is to actually grow your own, but knowing that i have yearsss to be growing im so happy to look forward :) im so happy for everyone. Keep learninggg its so great!!

LadyGreencommented6 years ago

@MrKeep, they sure are! I was surprised at all the lower bud sites, planning on making edibles so it all goes in the cannabutter! I started with 3 bag seeds, this was the only one to pop, so I'm so glad I got the mother/clones, and potentially hundreds or more clones, I can't believe I got all this from one seed!

Try putting lump charcoal into a 6"container to help with odor control. Your buds look good. Don't worry about the yellowing.

@CommanderCannabis, Thanks I prob need some odor control when I am opening up the grow to feed so will try the charcoal.

MrKeepcommentedweek 146 years ago

yellowing in the lower leafs are perfectly fine your plant is just focusing on producing nice fat buds :) i know in the end of the flower the plant uses nutes from the leaves from the whole plant but right now its just taking some nutes from the lower older fan leafs so no worries. i also think this is why some people say dont defoliate so much cause your plant uses nutes from the leaves thru out the whole flowering stage. plant is smart they will do what is right for them also 13 C should be totally fine as long as its not a frost temperature they will keep going just fine unless they go from 57 C to 13 C then thats a different story sudden change of temp can shock the plant. but overall your plant is doing fantastic :) the buds already look super yummy

@MrKeep, ok great as long as the yellowing is fine! This is probably as cold as it's going to get so I guess I will be ok. Yeah those buds are filling out nicely can't wait to smoke lol.

JerMedscommentedweek 116 years ago

Nice cabinet, I have one too, check it out if you want growdiaries.com/diaries/18866-2-mango-bubble-cloud-auto You should try autoflowers. They are so much faster but not as much room for mess ups. You are doing great with the CFLs keep it up.

@JerMeds, cabinets are lyfe! Thanks will check it out! I would love to try autoflowers one day, it's getting the seeds (not many seed banks ship to my country) but fast does sound appealing! So far so good with the cfls, I think they might just get me through flowering. Yields well we'll have to see, will be an interesting baseline to compare to any upgrades in the future.

MrKeepcommentedweek 96 years ago

impressiveee yeah keep on it. looks great. i been doing some research these days cause i dont want to spend $$$ for growing lights when you can do some research and spend less. Im sure you know what spectrum you need like 5000k-6500k for veg and 2700k-3500k for flowering. I been just looking up in amazon like 2700k led 3500k leds and i see that some of the floodlights looks really good for growing plants. there is also some videos on people growing with flood lights ( i also will be making my own lights soon so i was looking things up a LOT) or search like 3000k cob led. Cob is the best for growing supposedly. I dont know if this help but hope it does! :P and again Happy Growing~~~

@Experimentgreen, Thanks! Pretty impressed myself with the canopy it's turning out better than I imagined!

BeefWellingtonscommentedweek 66 years ago

You would need more height if you get the leds. I think you should continue with what you have. I run a grow under a powerful cfl and it's in a small growbox so I don't have a lot of room, but that's what is good about cfl is you can run them a lot closer to the plant than leds.

Very good point about the height. I will stick to cfls! Thanks mate.

Hey ladyG i loved the grow box video this week, thanks for adding that into your photos. I always love seeing peoples home made setup. Just for safety's sake....any chance you installed a fire alarm or anything like that? I might sound silly, apologies ahead of time, but a grow facility in my area recently had a gnarly fire and now that's always in the back of my mind. ✌️💚

LadyGreencommented6 years ago

@Experimentgreen, Yes I have fire alarms installed :) Safety first!

hey lady ganga problem with CFL is the spectrum and its intensity, not enough of the required spectrum, but it'll work ! with CFL the more the better. If you can get bar lights in on the sides of the grow room at just below canopy level to reach any shaded leaves that's a good idea tooo ! another thing you can do with cfl is try to buy a 45° CFL COB spotlight and try to concentrate the light in a good way. Best is to move towards specialised LED COBs or boards or simply use a good HPS through a cooltube. www.youtube.com/watch hope this helps !

LadyGreencommented6 years ago

@CRiSPrGrow, thank's for the advice, yeah I will definitely be upgrading some time in the future!
