First grow, How are my buds doing?

Just two kick pictures from this morning. Little preflower/budding all over, just took these two though.


Been on 12/12 for ~4 weeks. 5 23w cfl's, 4 are 2500k, 1 is 5000k

It is a hermie, but this is my first grow, and I won't be able to grow again for quite awhile so I wanted to let it go just to try it out.

Really just want to get opinions / feedback on what I may be doing wrong or general suggestions

You'll have a small yield of nice homegrown buds. Plants look healthy though stretchy but overall you should be proud.

Thank you very much! This is also just random bag seed Definitely stretched out on me, but I am working with such little materials so I am still pleased with the turn out thus far

not too shabby for a first grow good job

Thank you very much. How much longer do you think I have to flower?

What kind of yield you guys think I'm looking at? Plant is about 2ft stretched a bit.

How do you know it's hermed? If the plant gets stressed, it might throw out a few nanners as a survival mechanism. I had that happen on my first grow and I cut off the sacs and never had any more problems. Big buds and no seeds.

I'd say you need at least 4 more weeks of flower. My guess on yield minimum half ounce to maximum 1.5 ounces. Just a guess, I could be way off...

Oh wow i thought half oz was going to be a huge yield for this plant. I broke off the sacs ~2 weeks ago and they been growing back. Not a whole lot of them though

You'll be surprised how much growth the buds will put on in the last couple of weeks of flower...

Awesome. I thought it would need another 7-8 lol.

Thinking of trying to throw in a few more cfl's, could this help my buds pack on a little more weight possibly? Or will the difference be negligible? I'm only talking maybe 3-4 more 23w 2500k's

Hairs are starting to brown a lot on the main cola, it's much faster than the rest and was worried if I'd have to cut her off sooner than the rest

I assume he knows its a hermie because he got the seed from a hermie?

Flower is usually 8-9 weeks or if 70% of the plant hairs are brown. Unless you have a jewelers loop then check for honey color of the trichomes.

Lights are the fuel for your "car" so if your not producing the correct wavelengths then yes.

Otherwise:
Plants need a complete cycle to produce in overdrive. If you want to super grow, you need to provide more light, h20, c02, and nutes. The plant cant take benefit from one substance it needs all to complete the grow cycle.

Is it just me or does it look like it has a bit of N toxicity? Super dark green leaves that are clawing is usually a sign of that. What is your feed schedule and what are you feeding?

it's been ff tiger bloom like 1 tbsp nutes in a gallon of water.. usually feed with half a gallon twice a week. 5 gallon pot. they don't look all that dark in person, i just have this in the corner of a very dark area with just these lights on

Do you get run off water after applying a half gallon?

Remember in the wild it rains like shit then stops for a while. Same principal in watering; you want all the soil to get wet and store nutes.

Yea I get a good little bit of run off from it too. Next watering I'm not feeding any nutes though.

lookin goood!

Looks delicious, nice plant.
