Dinafem Cheese Auto CBD (CFL Grow)

[hashead]

Oh my! She has grown! Awesome job :smoking: is that the 125w shes under? Yad be surprised how many shoots will pop up during the stretch and become tops. My nyc fooled me lol

Oh yes things are really starting to get going in here

You have done a fine job with the training which has produced one bushy lady filled with budsites and starting to show what she can do

Can I ask have you thought about doing any "defoliation" to remove a few excess leaves which will allow a lot more light to hit those precious budsites?

I know some growers will not take of any foliage but from many years watching my plants and hundreds of forum grows I can say I think this would benefit this grow immensely

Some really nice work and will be interesting to see how this plays out needless to say I've got my popcorn to watch this finish

Looking great and thanks for the update and added pictures very much appreciated!

Until next time mate

All the best

Thank's @hashead !! Sheese Cheese is under a 125w the canopy is pretty my the size of the reflector. I have to make do with what I have for the moment unfortunately!! I see a lot of wasted light / energy in CFL's, by the time the light from the upper tubes are reflected back on the canopy its pretty much non existent, probably have only 50% of the lights power overall Haha. She has grown about an 1.5 inches since the last shot

@Dinafem-Mark , I am glad to have you along for your expertise and advice.

I have considered some light defoliation, I think I will wait a few more days as she's really started hitting the stretch and things are opening out a little naturally (if not I will get the hedge cutter out lol). I am still a little tentative about defoliation as I am not that experienced .

Thank you again

Day 28

She appears very happy even under low light and growing around an inch a day, hopefully for no more than the next 15 day's or necks will be snapped!! Feeding daily around 1ltr until my pot has a soggy bottom.

Nice grow man, thats impressive for a tiny space with a single cfl. Just imagine what this experience will yield you when youre actually able to expand and get a bigger light or more lights. Rep slap fpr sure man

Thanks @archie gemmill I've removed the tension ties now to close the canopy a little (could be a mistake haha)

Thank you @Free Flow , I may add another small clf, would certainly like a taller space and get some decent light in there! as it stand I got another foot in height to play with, to close for led's maybe possible for a 250 hps and cool tube I guess (Budget dictates at present).
