New Grower Second grow - Dinafem Roadrunner #2

The lst pic was taken the morning after. She'd already turned up to the light. It was nerve wracking, as I said she is a lot smaller than the nl. Won't be able to check her till tomorrow night. Planning on the second round of lst then.
 
My Mrs. sent me a pic earlier. Responded really well to the feed and lst.

Here she is, day 22.

Update for yesterday. She is slowly getting bigger, still way behind the nl at the same age.

Round 2 of lst last night. Feed of bb grow & topmax.

Looks like she took to LST ok bud. Not sure if she is stunted but she does seem bit small for her age. What light are you using?

Also seems to be stretching.
 
She's growing quicker since I started the lst. I have done it over a few days, bit at a time.

She's sharing a 300w cfl with my nl. Got it about 6" above her now.

Don't have a pic but this morning she'd already turned up to the light.

Thanks for commenting!
 
Ah I see, can you think of anything that may of caused to stunt her? N yeah they bounce back towards the light in about a day or 2. No problem either!
 
I was impressed as it was about 12 hours.

I think it was probably lack of light. This grow is a bit of an experiment. My hope was to grow two plants with about 30/40 days between them. Then as I'm chopping one start the next and so on.

My grow area is narrow, only 50cm. I can only hang my cfl front to back. It's been a struggle to light the Roadrunner without sacrificing light to the nl which is flowering and obviously much bigger.

My hope was to achieve this with just the one bulb. I don't think my hope is achievable.
 
U need to get your bulb horizontal for full effect really. Have you considered L.E.D or the 65w CFL light fixtures?? What's your total grow space measurement?
 
I've considered all sorts! Catch 22 unfortunately. I already accept I'm not going to have great results from this grow. I can't afford an led this month. If I chuck what cash I do have at extra cfls it takes away what I can spend later on, not to mention the electric bill.

I've got the bulb in the best position I can for the time being. Hoping the Roadrunner will fill out a bit then move things around a bit again.

I've not actually measured by roughly 50cm wide, 80cm deep, 2 meters tall although I have my top reflector covering the whole top area about 1m up.
 
Yeah I reckon you could get a L.E.D in there no probs maybe even a 150w Hps. But it's up to you what works best for you bud. I never had great results with CFL but some people do. Just all depends on your situation.
