I find the thing with CFL's is you know you can get them close so you keep buying another one to fill that little dark spot. Then you realise you could have bought a HPS with the money you've spent.
That's cool though man... i'm really lookin forward to the buds produced by that baby.

yeah I know. The biggest reason I'm just sticking it out with cfl's for now is because I am moving to a place where I wont be able to grow at the end of Feb  Once I get another place I will be looking for HPS. But for now I'm just working with what I have

Thats cool. I dunno what it is with HPS, but as soon as that baby comes round a grow just seem to go from "I was just fuckin about" to "I'm al capone and shit!"
bit sucky you can't grow again for a while. I've really enjoyed watching this one. If you do go for another set up later on it might be worth looking at DR Penguins clone tent. It's a sweet little thing made out of plastic tubes and tarp. The idea could easily be taken and built with stronger pipe for a grow/flower room. As long as it can support the weight of the light, etc..

Yeah, I really want to ramp up and do a big grow, but that just wont work for a while.
I am going to try doing some bonsai plants, but they will be more of a hobby/art project with little to no budding. They will be up here as i do them though.

Today is the three month mark for her! So I took a few pics.
Pics 1 & 2: The growing cola
Pic 3: Single dying leaf (visible in pic 4). From nutrient change?
Pic 4: Whole plant
Pic 5: Top cola and back left top bud site
Pic 6: Took this right before watering. You can easily see a root system in the water reservoir.
Pic 7: Well, remember that C clamp holding on the light bar? Well the wood underneath is shrank and the clamp let go. It landed on her. It was resting on her when I checked on her within the first 5 minutes of her light cycle. This is the remainder of the damage! She survived quite well i think!

Bummer about the light. Other than that your plant is looking phenomenal. I hope she keeps swelling for you.
