Keep feeding, don't starve it

Keep feeding. That thing has a long ways to go.

4 weeks would you say?

Needs more light ...

Needs more light ...

I second that statement.

He is on a tight budget he has 1 125watt cfl grow bulb a 60 watt led bulb and a 57 watt household bulb. In a 24x24x48 grow tent

An incandescent bulb isn't going to do anything but add heat.

24 inch x 24 inch space needs 40,000 lumens to mimic outdoor sunlight; 12,000 lumens minimum to grow.

when limited on light you should train to maximize your lighting
Sog, scrog, lst, supercrop, ect.
That will allow you to take full advantage of the limited light instead of having bud tops at all different heights getting lack of light since you have to sacrifice for others higher up.

That is way too low ... At least double up bulbs ( y splitter ) , plant will never reach its potential with out enough light.

I thought i saw an incandescent... That's not for growing

You can grow with CFL's if you like. As Anon said, scrogging is best with CFL's. But because you didnt do that this time, I suggest investing some money in more lights.



As you can see with my grow, you can never have enough light!!!

 

[Joegrower]

Ya did a little bit of LST theres 4 main colas.

 

[Budzbuddha]

Ok , lets do a little math ....

You said plant is 70 days old ( thats 10 weeks total )
ACTUAL PLANT AGE IS :
70 days minus 30 days ( veg to preflower - autoflower )
Preflower to actual flowering starting at day 40 .........
It takes like 7 days to transition .... To flowering

Leaves ONLY 33 days flowering ... A little over 4 weeks.

SO NOW IS THE TIME YOU CAN STILL ADD SOME WEIGHT.
WEEK 5 thru 7 ( actual flowering time ) is a VERY IMPORTANT TIME.

Borrow more bulbs or go to 99¢ for Optilight CFL . Disregard the orange pistils , as some strains color faster than others.

 

[Joegrower]

Ok. Will be getting a y splitter and a few of those buulbs. Do you they sell thoughs at grow shopa

CFL bulbs are available everywhere at a much lower cost .... Walmart , home depot , 99¢ store .... Etc.

CFL can grow impressive plants ( smaller grows ) if done right.
This was done using ONLY off the shelf bulbs.

You can get four packs of 5000k or 2700k 23 w cfl for 8.88 at Walmart. That would add an extra 92 watts.

About 4 weeks would be a good guess.

If you have to use that kne light, put it the length of the plant.

I would put more light to it.

 

[whitebb2727]

These are under 432 watts t5.

Op you need a lot more light, good nutes and time.
