This is my first seed to harvest attempt. I was hoping for a sorta bonsai type little plant, had it going on my deck since i planted the seed from April 30th - June 1st when i first put it into this contraption i made with a security type flood lamp light thing? was very bright and hot. everything was working alright it shot up like i wanted, put a little fan beside it not to close to help thicken the stock.it's obv indica seeing as it's very wirery or so i've read. i'll post pictures soon i'm just wondering where i'm going wrong if anyone has any sense from what i have explained. Like there were 14 fan leaves coming off the stock but fucking around with nutes i with began to fuck it even tho i used always less than recommended. now theres 5 around the top ( i topped it btw to).. With the research i have done i believe it will be a small little harvest because i probably threw into flowering to soon but i wanted a small plant anyways? and its indoor. Also it had begun to show signs of like spots, yellowing, crumpling leaves at the ends of the bottom ones, so i removed. is my plant salvageable ? posting pictures soon.

Yellowing near the bottom is almost always a sign that it needs more nitrogen. You can never flower too early, some growers use 12/12 light cycle from seed with great results, I'm one of them.
Pictures will definately help. What type of nutrients are you using?

usually those flood lamps are halogen bulbs, which provide a very small amount of USABLE light (lots of light, but wrong frequency on the spectrum - ´kelvin´)

Don't let the camera trick u its doing alright but defiantly not oz capable.. you can see were the fan leaves were removed some shriveled, 2 came off cause my gf dropped a pillow on it but anyways does anyone know exactly what i can do to improve what i'm doing i know there's millions of techniques and many are right but what looks to be missing with mine if any? and sry i missed before that nitrogen thing, how do i fix that if that's the issue? also , i threw him into flowering @ 17inches now after a month + being topped he's only a inch more? at 18inch right now. Thanks alot,

Kevin

yea dude, that plant is stretching out big time, looking for light. cheap? go florescent. got money? go HID

otherwise, i wouldnt flower yet. id wait a loooooong time. i stay with 20/4 til they are about 3 feet tall, and topped to atleast 10 colas, then flower at 12/12.

wow.... a month into flowering? that plant should be waaaaaay bigger, and have waaaaaay more foliage on there buddy, and of course lots of bud by now but that's what we are trying to figure out. simply put its looking for light, the light you are giving her is not the right frequency and spectrum the plant uses. if you need to go the cheap route which it sounds like u need to since u are using the weird lamp that you are using now, i would get T5's. there not the greatest bulbs to be using for flowering, but it will do a hell of a lot better than what u are using now haha.

I know D: i'm hella disappointed but its my first indoor seed to harvest and i understood this strain is better outdoor? it's like pink poison or something.. lil choked
 
Are you sure it's not a sativa? If I recall sativa's are the taller, wirey type;indicas are the short, stocky variety. Its been awhile since I've last done research on this subject though. Sativas generally take longer to bud if memory serves right. Gonna need a better light fo sho tho.
