hi everyone!!! just looking for some pointers and advice to make this harvest as plentiful as possible.ok its ak48 vegged for 6 weeks but had to move her after the first 2 weeks wich stunned her growth a little.I topped her once then tied the two top branches down to let the lower branches catch up.im using cfls 2700k and 5000k.i planned on using all 2700k as soon as i can get to the store.and its now day 14 since i switched to 12/12.i would have let her grow a lil more but as it is i have to somehow make my box taller.most of the cfls are higher than the plant but there more around the sides and not directly above the plant.i have 7 cfls 2 right above the plant and the other 5 surrounding the plant.any tips or advice would be great!! thanks everyone!

Looks to me like it needs some N and probably something else too. Hopefully someone knows. Check out the cfl subforum for your lighting questions.

I think your plant is not getting enough of something. How far away are your lights? How big is your space? How powerful are your lights?

Here's my advice; Get a bigger container, get your lights within 4" of the plant, get some nutes to the soil.

I am not,sure what your container is, but invest the $5 in a proper pot you could get from anywhere. Your plant may be root bound judging by the size of the container vs the size of the plant.

I grow with about 200w of T5 fluoros. I have a 30" plant that's producing pretty good. Proximity of your light to your plant matters a lot. Get them close.

I'm not a nutrient expert, but I know your plant needs something. I use compost to feed mine. You will have to find a nutrient source that works for you. Sorry I couldn't help more on this point.

from looking at the pics i would recommend flushing it with pure water for a few days then use an organic fert. i always grow organic. the bud tastes great and the high is outstanding. you can use almost any kind of animal byproduct (aka: shit) but dont put a dog turd in your soil. make organic tea. take goat, chicken, or bat shit and put a decent amount in a sock and soak it in hot water. the water will draw out the nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.) then let the water cool to room temp. usually it will only take a couple of hours. then water your plants with it. unlike many store bought ferts, you can use this organic fert every time you water without burning the plant. you may be worried about the smell but if you have proper ventilation and circulation, it wont be that much of an issue. it will however help mask the smell of your ladies and also boost growth AND you can use it during the entire growth cycle. you still will want to flush your garden about a week before harvest and stop watering several days before harvest to help with drying.

thanks for the help! i wasn't gonna transplant it because i already started flowering but i had a feeling the 2 littler bottle wouldn't be big enough.and for nutes i was using bonticare pure blend pro 2-3-5 during veg and a buddy of mine gave me general hydroponics floramicro 5-0-1. should i use that stuff or should i find something with a better npk ratio
