Flowering problems?

View attachment 2396104View attachment 2396105View attachment 2396106Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this whole gardening thing. I have read a lot and used some common sense for some, so I had some bag seeds. On a whim I got some potting soil, 3 dozen 150 watt cfl bulbs in cool white and day light. I built a lighting fixture got some spring water and some miracle grow. Long story short, I vegged for 3 and a half weeks and switched my lights to a 12 12 schedule . I ended up with 3 females. So here is where the trouble started, first of all my random strain shot to over 3 feet tall. Whoops, I have since trained the plants to utilize my space. I'm 5 weeks into flowering, and have no clue if there's an end in sight? Plants have crazy buds growing everywhere, I have some odd wilting on the leaves of my main colas. I have been taking the nutes pretty easy and have been using an organic 10 35 15 for blooming. So first question, how much longer based on my pics? Second, do you guys have any idea what strain I might be growing? Third, why are my plants wilting? I have flushed the soil with 3 gallons of water each plant to get rid of the salt build up.

I'm still trying to get the pics to load be patient please

lets see some pics

Edit: ok cool we will be patient ;P

its my first grow take it easy critics..

Looks like your doing ok to me for a first time guy. Just keep the CFL's as close as you can which should be about 1-2'' away from the plants. They are sativa dominant so the flowering time will take longer then an indica. I'd guess you would have at least 6 maybe 7 more weeks to full bloom. Maybe a tad less. Keep up the good work mate.

And yes sativas will get tall and lanky, when you put any plant into flower it has the potential to grow 3 maybe 4 times it current size.

Dont let this thread die, every week or so add new pics and we will help, also if theres any questions you might have dont be afraid to PM me or post on here about them ok.

The ladies definitely look sativa dominate, giving way to longer flowering times... What size pot do you have them in? Grow environment setup? How far are the lights from tops? some, but more questions will be asked, questions for others to help diagnose with

edit: Jeffdogg beat me to it..

Yeah one thing about this site, we love details and pictures

One of our respected members chucky just posted his sativa(s) been going for 13 weeks and could go another month (just using an example when it comes to sativa's), so hunker down buddy you might have a bit of time to occupy so read up on the threads

Pots are Two gallon filled with a potting soil that is supposed to be good, lights are 2 inches from most the buds. Grow enviroment is an insulated 10 by 12 shed, I have a small space heater with the girls. I have been using a humidifier to keep it around 60 percent, Lighting is a hinged 4 x 8 sheet of ply would with 24 light sockets with doublers on them, all 150 watt cfls half soft white half day light. I also have a led panel I use to cover problem spots. A. verage temp is around 75 degrees. So another question, I have some hash seeds from a seed bank. Theyre supposed to finish in 6 weeks, im thinking Germ a couple and put them with the other girls on the 12 12 right off. I know the yeild will suck but some variety would be nice. Oh and I was wonder what you guys would expect from 3 plants like the one pictured?

ply wood, pot and typing dont mix

hrm.. 2 gallon pots and sativas do not mix... unless you force flowering early I would say. I would definitely transplant into a bigger pot.
