St.buds My micro grow turned macro, I had to remove plants so that the 2 WWs and the Cannatonic could complete the grow. I realize now that I HAVE TO TOP just about anything I'm going to try to grow in my small box. And maybe keep it to two colas per plant. I will try again on the next grow... I just love the way yours looks.

It sure did I've been watching it what did u do with the other plants the trim pile? Yes i was thinking of trying to do one like yours but realized topping is a most. In my main grow there is one plant I left the 2nd and 3rd node on it and I think tht would work really good in the small boxes plus we gota limit the number of plants. Thank you for the compliment it didn't get as big as I wanted but I think it takes advantage of the cfls

I had to pull three male plants out of this micro turned monster grow I'm on now; then I pulled two more that were going to prevent the WW from really doing her thing. They told me not to put more than 4 plants in there at a time, but I imagined 8 perfectly-formed mega-micro colas growing on 8 plants; boy did my bubble get burst!!

St.buds If you look up MICRO-GROW SOG with CFLs By Dr. Bud Green Genes
you'll find a lot of good information, but ultimately, you're right: we have to take our own conditions into consideration and figure out what's going to work best. These are my basic notes on micro-growing:
MICRO-GROWS
• Flower only plants that are healthy and happy.
• Veg plants for a minimum of 3 weeks before switching to 12/12.
• The number of weeks your plants have vegged is a bad indicator of when they are ready to flower.
• Use the height of the plant as a gauge for determining the height they will finish at.
• Know your strain and how much additional growth it will produce while flowering.
• Know your grow space limit for vertical plant height and plan accordingly.
• Choose a growing method that works for your vertical space limitations.
• Create an even canopy by pruning, training, and rotating your plants.
• The size and style of your grow space will ultimately determine the tallest possible plant height. From this you can deduce the tallest height to begin flowering.
GWE: A cannabis plant will only grow vegetatively for the first few weeks of life; stick to 18/6 light sched.
When forcing your cannabis to flower early, plants will stay small and spend almost all their energy on producing flowers/buds on what few stems they have, instead of growing tall or making more colas/nodes.

Well the bigger of the two plants yielded a whopping 12.3g hahaha not much but really really strong buzz tho. I harvested with cloudy trichs and the high makes me feel....uhhhh dumb idk if tht makes since or not. I will be harvesting the other plant soon and update. This box can only give a max of about 33g with the current 6 100 watt cfls. so we will see how close I come
