Day 22, How's she doing?

Today is the 80th day since I put the seeds in a wet paper towel.
Today is the 22nd day since they started flowering.

I am a first time grower, sick of paying for weed, since I'm broke and in school.

I'm not expecting much, and every thing I've used is somethingI already have, I bought nothing special because like I said, I'm broke.

I have a 48" fluorescent lamp with two 40W 1900 Lumen bulbs.

Then each plant has its own desk lamp with a 13W CFL bulb. I'm obviously not expecting much out of this as its my first grow, and I dont want it to be big either. I just wanna smoke some weed. Anyways, These are my plants on Day 22 of flowering. 3 are mega skinny, one is thick and bushy and seems to be doing much better. How would you say these are doing for my setup?

some more light would help you out a lot...the buds look like they are nice...theres not a good picture to see how tall the plant actually is...is it tall and lanky or bushier?

I'm aware that more light would help, but its a really low budget and more importantly, its more important to keep it discrete. I could have done a lot of things differently, bigger pots would have been nice too.

The biggest one is42 inches, and the smallest is 38 inches. They are really thin and lanky, except for the one, which is bushier and took a lot longer to get started, but then surpassed everything else in quality ...so far. I more or less ust want to know if its going alright, seeing as I'm not putting really any effort into it, especially financially

I grew under 48" fluros for decades. You can do quite well. Another 48" 2 tube would do wonders (or a 4-tube model).
Short of that, I suggest you replace one of your low lumin tubes with a much brighter one, like even a regular "cool-white" has a lot more light in it.
You'd do better in veg by using stronger than 1900lm tubes , too.

Honestly man, I think your wasting your time. Not to sound blatant, and don't take it as an insult. I mean, I guess it's cool if you're just growing and not expecting much - those buds don't look like they're going to get much bigger without more light.. so you're pretty much not going to get much, esp for the time and effort you put into it (watering.. worrying.. etc).

Day 80 since seed is a long time man.. and 22nd day into flowering and it looks like only the top is starting to flower. Are there any budsites on the lower branches? But anyhow, you def need more light, but then again, you're on a very tight budget.

I guess it's better than nothing. Good luck with everything

every branch has buds on it, not super visible in the pics. Like I said, if I were to do it again, I'd make a lot of changes, its just not in the cards right now. But there are definitely buds on every branch. I figure I have 5 weeks left of flowering, at least, I should be able to get more I would hope.
