400w shelf grow.

As i look back i can't help but notice how droopy the leaves are on this one girl. They are all green and healthy but sag. I can't figure it out... I watered her today to see if it helps. First time she has water since i put her in the 5 gallon bucket. Long as her leafs stay green i wont worry too much.

 

[CFL_Grow]

Well i'll be damned.. she was underwatered....

She's happy as a fly in shit today. I woulda never guessed... I put 4 gallons of fresh water through her bucket yesterday to make sure there was no dry spots.

[CFL_Grow]

I have the bush healthy again.

I have an even canopy now, or close enough.

Not going to repot her, i never expected it to even live, lol. Let's see how much bud it puts out if any. It's still tiny and over 40 days old.

11 Days Later - Today :

I had to take this lady out today. I removed about 15 lower bud sites, i do not want the larf this round and am trying to get the plants to focus up top. You can see in the first pic, the damaged lower leaf. Look again in the today pics, it is still there. The transplant clearly stopped a defeciency that was starting.

 

[CFL_Grow]

Today I added more light !

4 x 4ft T8's. 32w each in 5000k color is what i choose for them. So 120Watts extra Not hid, but it helps !! I am using them for vertical side lighting. This is about a 2x3 area with around 700watts. 3 ladies in 5 gallon buckets. I hope they yield well.

I should mention im not tracking gram per watt or anyting like that. I don't even have a scale, im just hoping to get atleast 5 or 6 mason jars full

 

[CFL_Grow]

Only Flouros:

The ever evolving setup:

Wattage:
400 HPS
4x32W T8's
2x15w tubes
2x65w CFL
1x42w CFL
1x26w CFL

There gonna blow up this week

 

[CFL_Grow]

I love this lady here. Not teh kitty, i love her too Both my cats LOVE MJ Plants. When i take them out the closet them come a running.

This plant i topped after 2nd node when it was a seedling. Not it has only 4 tops and has become my fav plant. It's making 4 nice top colas with no lower larf.

This girl has had no nutes since veg. Only water.

What's Good CFL_Grow,
Nice little set up. Are them girls, all bag seed? Regardless, you will pull a nice harvest.
Props on ur grow.
Peace
Endur

 

[CFL_Grow]

Thanks for dropping in Endur They are all bagseeds i held onto.

 

[supersmallgiant]

The girls look great! I think my beans popped about a week before yours and you flipped to 12/12 about a week before me. Its great seeing where we are each at.

 

[CFL_Grow]

Yep i think i am about a week ahead of you we are pretty close mate I should have veg'ed longer but i dont have any weed, haha. Next time i want 5 weeks before the flip instead of 3. These ladies probably only double in height if that so far during flower. I was anticipating end up around 3 feet tall and im no where close.

 

[And1M]

Hey CFL_Grow, I like your 4-topped plant, it looks really great and cool cat eheh

 

[CFL_Grow]

Thanks i love my kitty

 

[BoomBoom]

Great grow just read through whole thing. Looking great can't wait til further into flower. As far as suggestions to make it better how about those DIY CO2 systems with sugar water and yeast? Fairly cheap, yet all micro/cab/closet growers never use CO2 :/

 

[CFL_Grow]

Yea the air turns over in my closet in about 20seconds so CO2 is out. I run the ventilation pretty hardcore to keep it under 80F and plants close to bulbs.

 

[Tarus Bulbar]

Great lookn lady!!
Sure hope she packs on ALOT of weight for ya!!
Goodluck
Keep those pics coming bro
