Its been in veg for about 47 days, fimmed once a couple weeks ago, and i trimmed bottom leaves and stuff. Im looking to get an ounce or more dry.
To me it seems too small to even want to try flowering but if they grow twice their size in flower

with just a couple Cfl's? I think you're gonna need some heavier duty lights to pull an ounce off of a single plant in that condition. I'm a newbie though so this advice is worth what you paid for it.

Hey man, a couple of things. How much height is available to grow that plant? The plant is too small to flower enough. You need to let that baby grow taller. You are 100% going to need better let than CFLs to get any kind of a healthy flower out of your plant. You need to look at increasing the red light and intensity of the light.

I do not know much but I will give you some advice. I wouldn't flower it. May need to change your light bulb situation as well. I have had plants bigger and did not get a zip dry. Best of luck.

I actually have 6 23w 1600 lumen cfls on it lol not sure if thats enough but i do plan on getting a few more for flower, going to pick up a nice LED when i can afford it in a month or so
And im not sure why the leaves are curling. A couple i took off had shriviled up a little from the sides in. I only water every 3 or 4 days when it needs it. And theres about 7 or 8 ft to grow it with about 2ish ft to each side
should i lift the lights a few extra inches away so it can stretch out a little or keep them an inch away and lift as needed?
Also would there be a cheap ($10-$20) way to add red light to them with the cfls?

I've done minimal testing on these ( Tao Tronics Full spectrum grow lights ) It's really not enough power but it would sure help your situation, they are about 30 bucks on amazon. You really need to invest in a better LED grow light though. Even a little Mars Hydro 300, maybe 200 bucks.

Why did you plant it on the side of the pot and not in the middle? It looks like possible over watering with too strong of nutes. What are you feeding it?
You've been vegging almost 7 weeks. That plant should be much bigger. I've got plants that I vegged for 4 weeks and they're at least 4 times that size. If you flower that small unhealthy plant now with your current setup you'll be lucky to get more than 1/4 oz dried.

Because for some reason i decided to plant two in the pot (ended up taking it out. Really dont know why i thought thatd be a good idea) and im not sure why its so small. Ive been wondering for a while cause there was about a week where it just hardly grew if any for some reason.

Could over watering a bit cause it to grow really slow?
It very well could. How warm is the space you are working? I’ve read that excess heat can cause stress in plants. Maybe raise you bulbs up, get a little more blue in there and they might stretch a bit, but a zip is gonna be hard to pull.

I'm not even going to try and guess what's wrong with this plant because I don't have anywhere near enough info about your grow. It could be over/under watered, over/under fed, could be nutrient lockout from high/low soil pH, the list goes on. For future reference, when asking for assistance with a plant you should include the following info in the post....
Type of soil/medium you're growing in
Type of light/s you are using and total watts of said lighting
Maximum/minimum temperature and humidity in the grow space
How often, how much, and what you are feeding the plant
Plus any info on if and when you've transplanted, trained or otherwise messed with the plant/s....

Knowing these things will help others help you, and keeping good records of these factors will make you a better grower and less likely to have to ask questions in the first place. Good luck.

Ended up vegging for a little longer and then put her into flower with 3 led e27 bulbs and my cfls and chopped her down two days ago. Ended up with 137 grams wet. Would have probably been about 150 but I just threw a bunch of the smaller stuff in with the trim and made butter with it

I was really surprised tbh i was only expecting like an ounce wet for my first grow
Thats all im hoping for too LOL I have a pretty decent size plant, but i dont know what a ounce looks like, so i have no idea how much im going to yield lol or even what to expect.
