hey take your time i know its hard but hell think of the work you've put into it and ask yourself all that work for some ok smoke or all that work for some serious dank ass smoke? thats the question the fastest flowering strain ive seen takes at least 56 days and that can be longer so you still have another 3 weeks at least be patient you'll be happy later..
peace pot prosperity...

hey thanks for the response! i know it seems early but the hairs have significantly receeded since budding and i figured since it was so small that maybe it was finishing quickly

thats possible it could be so i took a sample from mine two days ago for my wife and she got a pretty good stone out of it but im at about 50 days of flower on a 56 day flowering strain and mine are also pretty undersized..i refused to smoke with her until my finished product lol..ppp

At least you have tight node spacing
, You'll have a nice little cola in the end. More light=denser buds, keep adding more as it grows

All that light that is dissipating out is being wasted since your grow area is not enclosed like in a cabinet grow where most of your light cant really escape like it would in closet grow.. your going to need to build a reflector(be creative) of some kind to put on top of those bitches so you use those cfls more efficiently since cfls are more efficient in enclosed area with good reflective material on the walls

it actually is enclosed. theres foil ( i know its not the best) on the top and foil that encloses it where my camera is in the picture. i had to take it down to take a picture in there

I agree with the light comments of too far away--- those lamps should be upside down and about 2 inch max away from the tops. You have a great start but I would re-veg longer before going to 12 hour 2700 light . Load up on the 6500's get it bright about 2000 lumes a foot. The bigger the plant the better I have a grow that has been taking a while as it has the formula I shared with you but I think it is still a little dim to get better height and or growth.
Mine are about 18 inches tall after 68 days of 16 hours on and 8 off... I did bend them over a few times from the tops to a 45 degree angle and that had coused the plant to get a beefy stalk, although if you leave it bent over or tied off too long I noticed a bit of shock---so no more then 2 days tied over. Myabe a box lined in mirror or foil like a wardwrobe box to control the light better.
I also use a blend of light of 4 6500's one 2700 zbout 15-18% of blue spectrum while vegging then I am going to go
3 6500's with 2 2700's for flowering for about 6-8 weeks. So I will be increasing the flowering light (2700) to about 50/50 and 12 hours on and off.
