I'm currently growing 3 plants under 8 40w 6500k CFL light's using Ocean forest on a 18/6 light schedule. I'm needing to know if my plants are healthy. Attached are pics please let me know if I'm doing something wrong.

Look healthy as hell. Prob have decent light for veg but should think about adding more light for flower. But your doing great

Thanks!! That's good to hear. I was just talking to the wife about adding more lights as they get bigger and when they bud.

You wanna flip them when they are 1/3- 1/2 the size you want. It's up to you.

 

[Midwestjay]

If you flip now you're gonna be 2-3 times the size they are now maybe bigger. It's up to how much room Yuri have and how much more light you wanna add

Nooooo.... one of my plants grew into my light and burned a leaf. Am I still good?

 

[muskbud]

Yes...you are good, but the affected leaf blades are dead....raise lights

Do I leave them on the plant. It's just one leaf that grew into the light overnight.

This Will work for veg, watt=weight. A bigger plant will need a whole lot of light. I did I this and by the time I finishe I had not money in cfl s than a hid would cost. Now I'm 600 flower,400veg.

But your a doing great soo far. Prepare tho

Depents, if the leaf has enough green to assist her in her bountiful quest for more photosynthesis? But plant the size of the pics provided I do don't alter. With Exception of fimming my clones

 

[muskbud]

It's really a non issue.....plant will recover....downside to cfl lighting...source needs to be too close for reasonable photosynthesis.

 

[Theassbandit]

I've like, kept them alive until I saved up for a hid using cfl. But growth for my plant was slow, of present at all.
If u can grow with it, then you are finer tuned than myself.

If you don't plan on transplanting to. Bigger pots than I would flower. You gotta think about the roots space they have for the next two months.

They look great, but you're gonna be disappointed if you don't get more light on them babies. That burnt leaf is a non issue. Just trim it off

 

[Theassbandit]

I would agree. When I used cfl the watts they say and actual watts are typically 27%. Calculate actual watt, those "40 watt" probably com in around 16 actual watts. I had 570 cf l watts that totaled 172 actual watts and growth was soooo slow.

Keep in mind I was already flowering my big ones and just trying to sustain veg room until I got a second HID balast.

As growers we are master of creativity... It will do, just jack a few more bulbs. Its what must be done, until next grow.
