Hey Riu this is my first grow and it started outdoors, but due to lack of sun i made a grow room in my closet. Im currently flowering under about 230watts actual cfl(both 2700k and 5500k to achieve full spectrum). Shes been flowering for 24 days today. I have a small nitrogen problem but today i fed a half a teaspoon along with 12ml of bio canna flores and pk 13/14 I started my flowering nutrients a bit to soon i think thi is why im having a nitrogen problem so soon into flowering. Heres a few pictures of her from today, lemme know what you guys think. Also i have a picture of my setup lemme know how it looks.

I agree with secret jardin, a fan would help out , I think it is looking good for a cfl grow, plus being your first grow... you will learn more things as you go on growing more crops. what kind of seeds did you start out with?? what soil? what kind of nut. did you use for your veg. stage and now your flowering stage? also how long did you let it veg for??? sorry I am just being nosey lol .
Keep up the good work and don't stop asking question and learning as much as you can.

i am thinking you will get about 7-14+ from her, i am going by the size of her at this stage and the overall look, but it is hard to tell, i am surprise she had a fan on her from the look of the stems...they look a little thin but so did mine on my first grow lol, i got about 100 grams out of 5 plants my first grow and that was with cfls so i would want to wait to take a better guess almost at the time of harvest...anyways good job still :-D

I figured it was bag seeds from the look of it, now i am sure diff. when you said you veg it for about 2.5 months and it is at that size, everything else sounded pretty good for your first time, do you plan on using some f1/hybrid seeds on your next grow??? and if so what strain??? also i am a big fan of fox farm soil, thats what i use for my ladies...i dont use Miracle grow soil or nut. at all but thats me, i did use it when i started growing but i found that there are way better brands to use then MG for cannabis plaints. but everyone likes to use diff. things but your plant is looking well for your first time and i have a feeling your next one will look way better becuase you said you have been doing a lot of research so i am sure you will learn by trying diff. things till you find out what works best for your set up and strains etcbongsmilie

7-14 plus what? Grams?

Yeah grams, because its a bag seed it isn't gonna be the best yield but it will still be nice for your first harvest....just remember you will always end up with what you started with, you can only do so much with bad seeds, so if you want that shit you need to start off with a better seed...but a bag seed is a good way to start your first grow with...I have done a few crops and I am still learning everyday and I am sure I will still be learning even after my 100ths crop. :-Pbongsmilie

Do you see the picture under my name?? that is a picture of my first crop and that is 5 plants in one 5 gallon pot, I love that picture b/c it reminds me of what I started out at and where I am now... I love growing, not just for the good ass green (which is a nice thing) but I also just like watching and taking care of something from a seed to it is ready to harvest and know I did that and when I smoke with someone and they say wow this is some really good weed, I know I was the one that grow it and that's a good feeling, the only shitty thing is they don't know it is I that grew it but hey I have to be safe so I don't get hit by the cops lmao

P. S. I just moved into a new house and I just finish my new grow rooms (one for veg. and one for flowering) so now I am just waiting on my new seeds which should be here sometime this week...I cant wait b/c I am trying a few new strains beside a few I've grow before and now I have grow rooms for both stages instead of just one room for both, now I can have some growing and flowering at the same time so I don't have to wait as long between harvest.
The only reason i said anything about my new grow rooms is b/c i thought it would be a good way to show you the even tho i started out like you as many of us have in closet or small grow boxes etc that you can upgrade with ever grow and before you know it you will have a better grow room and if it is what you want someday you will have a bigger area and then two just like i do now, and i started off just like you.....i am still a noob myself lol ive only had a 11 crops and 6 of them were in closets etc and then my 7th i was able to make a grow room and wow that made a big diff and the harvest size etc was really better and now that i am able to hve a room for both stages i am stoke lmao anyways ill stfu and stop ramblering on about something you probably could care less about. :x lmfao

Hey Argentino, your first grow sounds much like what I'm doing right now also! I started a plant outdoors a little too late and ended up bringing it inside and building a grow closet.

I unfortunately did not know about topping at the right time of my plant until it was too late. Your plant is looking nice!

The only advice I have for you is HPS!!! I do not regret at all buying my HPS light, 250W that can also take a MH bulb. HPS will increase your flowering stage big time! I'm using 12/12 right now and it is coming in good. I'll try and post some pics soon...

Good luck on the grow! :joint:

I love the diff. on the grow when I went from CFL'S to MH and HPS bulbs, I started off just using a 400W MH in my veg. stage and my flowering....But now I use 3 400W Mh and 2 4 ft 4 bulbs FLO. lights in my veg. stage grow room and 4 400W HPS bulbs in my flowering room, I rather use two 400W bulbs instead of one 1000W bulbs b/c 2 400W have more candle foots then one 1000W bulbs does. but that's just what I use, use whatever works best for you and your set up.
