Hey whats up everyone. I hope y'all had a good weekend. I am on my first grow and am doing a chemdog plant. I am looking to flower asap. I currently have it in a 4 gallon pot in FFOF and I used the FF NUTE KIT. I have it under 8 100w (23w output) CFL bulbs. I've been reading that for the flower stage under CFL's you should lower the KELVIN'S. What watt of bulb and KELVIN'S should I get for the flower stage under CFL's??? THABKS FOR THE HELP IN ADVANCE

 

[Seamaiden]

Same wattage, look for anything lower than about 4,000K. 2,700K should be easy to find and it's great for flowering. :)

@Seamaiden you are the woman lol.. Thank you for your help

 

[Seamaiden]

<checks mis tetas> Yes, I am a woman! :D You are most welcome.

@Seamaiden are these the correct CFL's for flower??

 

[cocoJoe]

2700K,, yes these are correct.. Wait I'm a man now.. forgive and peace!!

Those look good.
This one would replace all 8 of your cfls.
You have 8 running 23w ea and this one draws 200 watts.

I really enjoy seeing grow light reflectors now for cfls with larger bulbs. If I hadn't dedicated on hps/mh. A few cfls with reflectors would make for a good alternative.

Thanks dude. Yea I only used 8 because I wanted to place bulbs so that every part of the plant is receiving light. I think I'm gonna get a couple of these

Here's a new picture of my girl "Fern" lol.. Thank yall for the advice and help.. The bone meal has seem to have waken her up a bit, or I'm just crazy lol.. I'm sure I'll be asking for more help in a week or two.. Have a good day

Have you considered trimming a few of those bottom leaves off? Your plant is only wasting energy on them and since your using cfl's you will need as much light to the colas as possible

 

[Basic Buds]

I trim mine almost once every week.

I trim mine almost once every week.

I really wanted to trim it but I would like to see it done in person. I've read stuff and watched videos dude but I just need to see it first hand

 

[Basic Buds]

It's actually really easy, anyone can do it and you can't hurt the plant if you follow a few little guidelines.. Never take more than 1/3 away at one time. Only take shade leaves that are blocking light / air flow from reaching colas and keep it keep it simple :) trust me dude you will notice a big difference after your plant starts using its energy where it is needed ✌
