My grow (too small?)

[RitualBlaze]

I have a very small plant i grew from a random seed i found in some bud. I have 2x24w 1x43w and 2x10w CFL's, do you think these bulbs are enough for flowering? What kind of yeilds should i expect as long as i keep the plant healthy?

Its about 2 weeks into flowering and i think its finally starting to bud (maybe).

Ritual Blaze: the wattage is the amount of electricity they use, (voltage divided by the amperage draw= watts). What you want to be concerned with is the color or wavelength of the light being emitted by your lamps. That's usually stamped somewhere on the white base of the light. I'm assuming you're using curly-cue CFL's. We veg under 5,000K to 6,000K blue grow lamps for 16 hours a day and we flower under red 2,500K to 2,800K lamps for 12 hours a day. You can find them almost anywhere. Even the 99 cents store carries some. Look for those numbers and make sure that you're hanging the right lights over your plants for the correct growth stage. Try to do it right. Before we learned a little about florescent lighting we just hung T-8's about 6" to 1' over them, with what ever bulbs they sold us at Oley's, and I'll be damned if it didn't work. It's not rocket science so don't stress but you might want to pick up a copy of Cervantes' book or Resenthal's. Good luck. I hope this helps. HSA

I have the right bulbs, i know that, I was just wondering if my 100ish combined wattage will support the plant duiring flowering, i have been bending it over too, not sure if having more bud sites will be better or worse.

That's about the minimum you would wanna use but you could go for it.

That pot looks kind of small, though.

 

[RitualBlaze]

Yeah it is... I have a replacement, but I'm waiting to be sure that it is going to need to be transplanted, as its already 2 weeks into flowering.

 

[RitualBlaze]

is it possible that it wont bud fully in the pot its in now?

 

[DO3SHA]

Oz at most I your lucky if you keep it in that pot

well a couple questions, how close are your cfls? do they have a reflector of some sort?

 

[RitualBlaze]

there all within 2in from the plant, and i dont have a refelector.
if i got a Oz, i would be pumped, but i would be happy with half that too.

Is it male or female that's your first question u should answer to yourself sir

that question has been floating around for weeks... but i got up today and noticed that all those tips, have tiny little white hairs... so its a girl.

 

[RitualBlaze]

Heres a picture of her, you can see little hairs coming out of the main cola here. the pictures not great, i took it with an old Iphone... :/

 

[lightitsmokeit420]

congrats,btw just curious how long did that baby girl? just curious, looks kind of like some i saw in 12/12 from seed thread..

 

[RitualBlaze]

I veged it for about 2 week, its about 4 now. I didnt have good lights for the first weekish, thats why it stayed so small.

would it be a bad idea to transplant this late into flowering? (2weeks)

lol we are all in that position for weeks haha, what size pots you gonna end up with final?

 

[RitualBlaze]

The pots not getting much bigger, im kind of unsure weather to transplant in flowering, i dont wanna stress it to much.

 

[RitualBlaze]

Update: Its officially 2 weeks, on the dot, there are some nice tips starting to bud, it doesnt smell yet, which is kind of upsetting. she pulled out the anchor i had holding her down, and now i need to find another way of keeping her bent over (mind in the gutter? i think so). I still haven't transplanted her yet and am unsure if I should.

There is a weird spot on 2 of the lower leaves of one of the branches, kind of a dulling? I tried looking into it, found that it might be a phosphorus problem?

 

[dank smoker420]

nice looking good her leaves are so thin! haha ive never had a plant with much sativa in her. idk about that spot. youcould use tape and string that is what i do. i would transplant her in a bigger container. the bigger the better.

 

[RitualBlaze]

You dont think transplanting would cause too much stress?

 

[dank smoker420]

not if you do it gently. whenever i transplant any type of plant i wait for the soil to become dry so its easier to work with and take a knife around the inside of the pot to loosen it from the pot. and turn it upside down and shake a little bit and she should pop out.

are the roots at the bottom on the pot like in the drain hole?
