First grow need tips

Hey everyone,
I am a first time grower I’m entering the third week of flowering 12/12 light cycle. I see a lot of pics of other plants that seem to be way bigger than mine at this age. My plants are a little over 2 months old. It was bag seed and it might be auto flowering because while I was away from home they started to show pistils even though they were on 18hr light schedule. My roommate also said they started to smell danky. My plants are skinny and only have about 2 branches per node. I used a combination of low and high stress tactics but I feel like my plants are much smaller than most I see on here. all of my seeds were female and have only 5 leaves instead of 7. My plants are probably around 15 inches tall (I don’t want them to be too big and don’t really care too much about yield as long as I have a decent amount of smoke at the end). Let me know if any of you have tips during flowering stage. Ps I’m feeding my plants fox farm for blooming plants at this point.

post some pics of your plants, lets have a look

what lights are you using?
How are temps and rh?

just a few questions to start you off
 
Pictures would help. Two branches per node is normal. There's a pretty uncommon mutation that causes three branches per node. Once mature they'll transition to one. Plants show preflowers before actually flowering so them doesn't mean it's an auto.
 
Any kind of training slows down growth. The lower stress training has a shorter impact but still slows it down.
If you top a branch you will wind up with less fingers on your leaves for a few nodes. I have one now with 7 finger leaves down low, and 5 above a recent topping.

Simple man you bought a complete shit light your going to have to get a better one if you want any decent yield those plants still look like babies and they are 2 months old and that's after the stretch man you will get like 3 grams per plant and is that light actually 75w a lot of companies will say like 1500w but only draw 300w from the wall you habe to look where it says actual power draw and event if that one is 75w the spectrum is shit and those blurples arnt the best

I have 4 1000w phlizon Cree cob lights actual power draw is 250 each but i knew that befor i bought them they were 200$ each and have a 2 year warranty they are working great
 
I notice from your pic it looks like you are just watering around the plant. You should water the whole top to get all the medium/soil wet. Too late this time. Read everything from the second post in this thread and you will know everything.
 
Thanks for the help guys. If I bought a light could I get them back into veg safely? Also if anyone has cheap lights I’m ballin in a budget especially since this started as just a little experiment from bag seed
 
Didnt see that you had flipped to flower. Revegging takes alot of time.
You could start a new seed today that would be far ahead of your reveg in a month or so. Just get your lighting straightened out first.
If you want a cheap effective light, led probably isnt the best option.

Where did you buy this

Haha not sure, it’s the mrs, takes batteries. Probably the equivalent to 1 watt!? I reckon Itl still grow something!? I reckon any leaves not touching the light would die..... so when it’s 3 weeks old and 4 foot high with 2 leaves I’ll initiate flowering...... tricky part will be setting a timer to 12/12 haha. :eyesmoke:
 
I agree with boatguy and dafreak. Get a better light (hid’s are cheap now and still give great results) I’d be starting some New seeds as soon as your new light comes in.
IF that led is 75w power draw then you should be able to get about 2.5 ozs (give or take depending on grower skill level)
Doesn’t look to me that you’ll get close from your photos. I’d say you’ll be lucky to get an oz!?
Probably still worth finishing flowering more for the experience than the end result imo.
We all go through this learning phase when we start growing, it’s all about figuring out where u went wrong and learning from your mistakes. :lol:
