@Spimp, yep not good mate, i think your plant must of jinxed my plant, one of the branches on my dwc auto had wrapped round and got caught on the stem so when i pulled the dwc out i heard a snap and the bud fell, its ready for harvest but would like to of seen how big it would of get as it was really getting pretty fat the last few days and it looked like it was starting to flower again,
ill get to work setting up the cfl room tomorrow as im home all day, i dont think ill use as many lights as your using but depends on the growth,
the main reason i want to try cfls again is because when i was growing before growth was good but not as fast as it is now, now im watering my plants less often with less water growth has been very aggresive, now i got ok results with cfls the first time round so now ive dialed my watering method in and everything seems to be going well then im pretty sure i could get some good yields off cfls,
at the minute my plants are just under 2cfls, i got 1x 30watt 6400k cfl and 1x 2700k cfl in the other grow room or cupboard with these plants growing under it,
1x ken estes gdp cross with purple cheese auto male (part of my super male project as this will be the 2nd male im using.
this plant has been under cfl from day 1 and its got no stretch what so ever which is pretty amazing since im growing it under 60watts in total,
1x big buddha cheese clone, again doing really well and no stretch at all, it dont seem to grow upwards very quick but its bushing out very nice.
1x sensi star clone, again another nice plant, rooted and about 6inches high and mosnter cropped, ive just done a heavy defol on it and stripped it naked, again no stretch or signs it needs more lights.
1x ww x sk clone, only just rooted and new growth has just stared,
1x sour diesel clone, just rooted and now showing new growth.
1x dragons breath, pretty big plant again with no stretch,
1x blue mystic seedling
1x nirvana ice seedling,
1x auto white widow ( it spends 12 hours under hid and 12 hours under cfl.
so considering im only running 2 cfls of 30watts each my plants are doing really well, ill take some pics tomorrow and put a new journal up called cfl project, then we can bounce ideas of each other and see what works and what dont, once ive harvested my plants in flower now most of the above plants will go under the hid and ill do a complete fresh grow from seed to harvest with cfls and we can then work out whats best and how to produce good results,
i was happy with the results from cfls, my buds was not fluffy unless it was down to the strain, the ak47 x uk cherry cheese had solid dense buds under cfls and i was very happy with the trichome production and yield, so ill get this room set up and get some reflectors in their and mylar on the walls, at the minute its my electric cupboard, no reflectors, the walls are yellow and 2 cfls hung about 6 inches above all the plants and im not getting any stretch or signs of problems, so cant wait to get the cfl grow up and running and we can see what we can do with cfls, ill do a dwc auto, then a couple of other plants, some of the strains ive bought ill do under cfls and see what happens, im sure i can pull a good yield,
@AleX, i never even got 1 female mate, if i idid id keep it in clone form and would of produced fem seeds or crossed it with a male gdp and produced regular gdp, but the problem was i didnt even get 1 female, everyone i grew was male, so kept the bets male with the best growth pattern and collected pollen, the only plant i had in flower was the purple cheese auto, so far it looks like its a very nice cross and results are pretty stinky all ready so cant wait to test the end results, not sure if its a stable strain but gdp is a pretty stable strain and the purple cheese auto produced some potent bud considering it was an auto,
so yep if i had of get a female id of kept it in clone form or produced more seeds, but didnt even get 1, i just wish i would of kept the male for this super male project im doing, but so far got 2 males for the project one in flower that ill collect pollen from first and the other is in veg under cfls but clearly a male, so once ive collected pollen ill try everything to make it go hermie,
the quickest way of found to get plants to go hermie is keep them in pots that are way to small, so might rip the male out the big pot and stick it in a small pot and torture it for a week or 2, hopefully then it will go hermie and the mad scientist can get to work
