is my plant looking normal or under developed?
its almost 4weeks in to flower I'm growing under 100w CFL's because I couldn't afford the HPS or LED's
how much could I expect this plant to yield under such conditions? Its gotten more white pistils overnight.IMG_3374.JPG IMG_3378.JPG IMG_3378.JPG IMG_3375.JPG

I would buy seeds that are indica dominate or finish short, and in 8 weeks or less.
Your doing great but ur genetics are wrong.

That plant will take 3-4 months to finish and will b gigantic..I hate to say it but I'd scrap the grow instantly re group your resources, get the proper genetics and start over.
I would also bloom at a 12-24 with cfls. They do not penetrate the canopy well, so shorter plants would b better

Looks totally under developed. I doubt theres much of a chance at recovery. Next time dont scrimp on the power plant. Grab an hid. Even a used magnetic with an old bulb would give you better development than that. If ya wanna help it youll need more cfls....or just put that money twards a hps. Good luck.

I flowered it after a month and on midsweeksong it said that the Flowering period only takes 55-60days its actually a hybrid between a top 44 indica and bubblegum sativa seemed like a nice cross between the two I had 3 100w equivalent cfl's on it and 4 3w uv- bluelight led's since ive herd red spectrum is good for flowering but they may not domuch at such a low wattage I'm aware that I'm going to need more lights I was just hoping for a quiker flower any guesses on the expected yield? if I can get better lights now will it have a big impact on bud size or is it to late into flower to do much?

It is possible that some beans got mixed up, shit happens

Well to be fair midweek song just repeats the info the breeder puts out, they have nothing to do with flowering times. I know CFLs are very slow, especially using just 3 23w bulbs ( I would use 8-12 for that plant in a scrog). I've had weeks added to flowering times of known strains trying to grow them in underpowered light.

Hey if you staying in flower for a bit hell yes get more lights if you can! One of these dudes told me I needed more too I already knew but I got what he suggested cause good price. Now I got a 300w Led & 2 150w HP's. My first indoor chugging along! Your On The Right Track!

most plants take longer then 60 days to flower and all of them only say 50-60 days but its really like 70-80, auto flowers suck not even worth it, they don't yield alot and stay short, but from veg to flower only took about 95 days so it is alot quicker but I wouldn't ever grow them again..

Spend $100 and get a ipower 600 setup, that's all I use, you will get alot better results, and you get a hood, 2 bulbs, digital ballast and timer and hangers.. can't beat it for the price

yeah that's the one it was one of the freebies but also the only survivor out of six because I fucked with the others when they were seedling and possibly burnt them
that would be an awesome deal Ryan ill definitely have to look into getting that! thanks yall
also would the MH or the HPS bulb work better or are they about the same?
