Well with no idea the strain we can't tell you flowering time however you probably still have 20-50 days to go so they should fatten up considerably in the last few weeks.

Minor tip burn , which is okay. She looks good .
I also run CFL ( mixed spectrum ) 5000k and 2700k , 8 100w/150w
You got some weeks ahead of you still , most of my weight comes in around week 7-8 .
Keep those nutes in check and she'll reward you. Nice job. :clap:

actually it's rather impressive for only using four 23 watter's

are you using three 2700K and one 6500K bulb for the flower stage?

if you could add a few more bulbs it would really help the final yield, but no worries if you can't

thanks everyone, it was my first grow and learnt alot through it, indeed theres alittle light burn from at times moving around the lights to get better light on budsites and getting a little hot at times causing some burns, and yes i use a couple 23w daylight bulbs and a couple of the 23ws that give off apparently red spectrums which the plants like for growing, pretty sure its 6500k bulbs also going to pick up maybe some monster bloom add very little possibly yeild larger results, little nitrogen def on a leaf too from lack of it i say..

also may add a few extra bulbs if my other seedlings grow their first sets quick enough to be tossed outdoors, not sure if too late in the year but was a really late spring

is there any way you can move your gals outside for a few hours of sunshine/day?

i could finish the plant outdoors being i live in the woods.. do you think that would change the results quiet a bit, im just afraid of rain or mites or bugs ruining it but i culd bring it outisde everyday as part as the light cycle too nd back in for the night

pro's and con's to growing outdoors, but I was thinking more of a tag-team approach, just put them outside when ever the sun is shinning and back inside to maintain your 12/12 schedule

You have got a lot of growing ueyyet to go. Here are a couple shots of mine. 1sr pic is Apr 28th. Next pic is same plant May 23rd it is on the left. 3rd pic same plant May 23rd dif view. Be patient. It takes a while seems slow then all of a sudden they're gonna start blowing up. I grew this inder 215 actual watts cfl mixed 6500k 2700k in a homemade box from an old dresser.20150428_141054.jpg20150523_182210.jpg 20150523_173618.jpg

Between week 5 and 7 you should see the most weight put on. After that it's the wait till she's ripe time. Good job so far!

stay indoors, outdoors will probably do more harm than good
not that outdoors isn't good, just too many downsides for a plant that is doing well indoors
bugs, rippers, deer - it's a jungle out there

Put it outside!

Only reason to grow indoors is if you cant grow outdoors due to where you live etc seeing as you can grow outdoors you really should. You can't really think some crappy CFL's are better then sunlight??

Rain isn't an issue as long as you have good drainage and a good root system. Mine have been rained on constantly for 3 days straight before, and not one plant drooped...in fact they actually perked up a little (think of all those extra micro nutes..). Bugs are treatable.

I was but this was a bagseed grow and one of them tried to herm and is throwing nanners so i may end up with some seeds in there. But being as these 2 came from a $20 bag im not mad about it. I got white widow, northern lights and afghani on the way from herbies this week. Im gonna put them under a new Area 51 led with cree 3w and a gorilla tent and mainline them in air pots :)
