What up FMB. Finally decided to take some pics of my baby. This is my first mini grow and its been pretty fun.
For the past 5 weeks i have been flowering a clone of Purple Erkle that i got straight from the medical club. Today is 5 weeks 2 days exactly from start of flowering.
I have been using ONLY a 42 watt cfl bulb from wal-mart and a homemade reflector out of a rockstar can.
Nutrients i used are house and garden aquaflakes and sugar daddy.
All i can say is WOW i would have never expected results like this from just a 42 watt cfl but the proofs in the pics.
enjoy guys

Full plant shot (its basically one giant nug now)

That made my day man! I love to see people growing when they have almost nowhere to do so. that shows that you have drive, keep at it and you will not be let down. Keep posting those pics!
Are you using two cfl bulbs?

As long as you are having fun, and enjoy the results, thats what counts.

Gonna smoke that joint about Christmas time I'm guessing? :) Let us know how the smoke is....

Really nice grow man, how much was that bulb? I looked it up at Walmart and it said around 18 bucks. I am trying to do some stealth stuff this summer in my room.

So that was all you used in your box was that one light?

Did that CFL burn the tips of the leaves or what? I thought CFLs were relatively heatless.

i guess it is 42 watts so it makes sense.
