Youll just have to do some wiring. look into my thread, tomorrow ill post a pick of it. as far as luck goes, i almost killed one of my plants. theyre almost 3 weeks old and look like seedlings(over watered severly and badroom conditions). Ive rewired it into my main cfl.

you have time to turn things around, if theyre not in flowering then you could get a lot of clones and start over. put the clones in the window, giving you about a week or two to get shit together and get your room in shape and working

If I had took pix this morning the second set of leaves would not be visible...S-L-O-W veg; but then again I think shes lacking N.

Dont like to over react; first two sets of leaves aint looking really healthy right now though. We see how things go.

More pix waiting on my CMH...im surprised this lil baby is even growing with as little as 20w. No stretching or anything...yet.

See the roots in the second pic. Every time I put any soil at the base it grows roots like a mfer. Think she might be easy to clone. Like that...

Thanx mane....and thanx to all that are sticking in. I know...a 20w cfl is lame as fucc...but hey, it shows my dedication. I have the Ceramic Metal Halide comming in any day now. Guess there was a mix up or something on the order?

Anyway I now know I want to order 2 bulbs at all times just in case. Real talk.

Its on!! Bulbs came in yesterday morning. New temporary setup. 20w held my plant down for over a month. Now I expect it to blow the fuck up.

Also popped me a little NYCD x COCOA KUSH. We see how that goes too.

Sup blu, I already know. They aint blowing way up but from the pix u can tell the difference every time.

I had to go and do a re-transplant because in 4 days I already had roots coming out the bottom of the new pot!!

-------------------------------------------------------

Heres a couple new pix. I pruned some of the older leaves because im trying to get the lower nodes to throw some good cuttings. Pinned her down to help; bobby pin style. Ive only fed some EWC tea and a little Rocket fuel mixed in.

The smaller plant is the NYCD x COCOA KUSH. Its not looking to good now but I think it wants more room for roots. Im not giving it because I want it to fill out its soil ; which its not doing. But I see new roots coming in so hopefully I will transplant again soon.

The NL showed she is a female. Little hairs, couldnt get pictures but their there. I still wanna veg a bit more because shes just getting to really growing. Maybe another month veg. Give the others a chance to catch up too.

Heres some info that I found on the NYCD X COCOA KUSH...these were given to me by someone here on tha farm. 'Preciate u mane...

Heya,

Happy newyear to u to.

Yeps, i made this cross.
New York City Diesel Soma cut vs my Cocoa Kush male from Dj short that i selected.
It is in the chocolate Mix, i did not even know i gave sannie some separated.

Some different phenotypes to find, most end of flowering around 9 weeks 12/12.

Look at the budstructure, iff u see foxtailing or clawing type of buds, u got nycd.
Nycd is overwelming agrumes smoke, after inhaling and blowing out, the taste will stay for many minutes.
On itself, nycd is medium powered, 6.5 to 7/10.Colors are mainly purple to black, egplant color.

Cocoa kush tends to pop up blueberry phenotypes in the nycd, dont be suprised.
It can also give yellowing to browny leaves, without u can change it. U have dont nothing wrong, its the plant.

The cross itself streched double on hydro, some intend to candle type structures and others where octopus phenotypes.
Nycd original gives a nice V structure,

From all the chocolate try outs i tested out myself, this was probably the least chocolate close by tasting.
The agrume from nycd is very hard to dominate, i know this from earlier crosses with Amnesia, G13Haze, Humbold, ...
But nycd do gets a bit more creamy old school and the buds have a denser structure.

The power of the smoke is average, it does the job, but not overwelming. U can function normally in daily life.
When u grow this, the flavour is the first choice u do it for. To have a unique and special smoke.
This is something that u will still remember, even after many years not smoking it.
Only few strains give such a long taste after smoking it. Specially the first hits are amazing.

It is a good yielder, all phenotypes. each type is unique in flavour.
Perhaps a little bit less bag apeal, like i find from most diesels and crosses, but when u smoke it, u will have a instant smile and think,
Damm, this is a freebie. What about the rest?
The rest is as good as this.

Good luck

Grdz e$ko,

Nice dude, looked like some Alien shit! Man, you remind me of my good old cactus named Jasper, it was some African cactus I found in a Home Depot in San Diego one day and that damn cactus was the best. Lost him in a custody battle...very sad story. I named him Jasper after Casper the friendly ghost because his needles wouldn't rip your flesh out, miss that little guy!
