bocephus, to answere your yeild question: I have read on this site from many grow journals and while there are many factors that come into play, it seems like just under 1 ounce per plant seems fairly reasonable to expect. But like others will tell you it all depends.

Flowering started today. Went to 12/12 on day 30 of vegetative. The plants grew well in 4 weeks and 2 days. As well as the ones Ive seen here, and Ive looked at them all and compared them alongside myne. Height on the tallest plant is just over 8 inches,the smallest at 6.5. Space is also a concern, so Im very curious as to how much higher they will go? I may have seen a pre-flower on the 5th nod, but Ill give it a few days to make sure. Have foliar feed twice with MG and spring water. Soil is organic.Pics from before and after, wonder when some will actually comment on my progress?

I can see the new growth when the lights come on after 12 hrs. . Its a very bright pale green as it hasnt seen light yet. Very cool. But I forsee an issue. The 3 grow tubes I have are all hooked together and on top of the plants. Hardly any light is hitting the lower branches now at about ten inches tall. I have to put two on the side and one on top today. No notice of any pre flowers yet. On the front of the main stem there are two, looks like pre branches, sticking straight up? Leaves are a very deep green, and very healthy looking.

The growth since switching the light cycle to 12/12 has been incredible, why is that? Still no sign of pre-flower's, still no comments from anyone on how everything looks. I must be an asshole or something,lol.

You may need to repot to a bigger, 2.5 gallon one now. Maybe add some nutes too. What type of light did yo say you are using?bongsmilie

I added nutes this morning, and pruned the huge leaves at the bottom. Im using three 75 watt grow light tubes. Wow, someone responded! I actually heard that if you keep them in the smaller pot they wont grow as big as space is a concern? Should I still transplant?

I would repot to 2.5 to 3 gallon pots and then flower when they are 6 weeks or so old. Go to the Mandala seed site and they give some directons for controlling height, like what veg height will give a certain flower final height, for thiere strains anyway.bongsmilie

I am not an expert but, it looks like you need more light (Wattage) as the internodal spacing is excessive, IMHO. You mentioned 75W flouros earlier I think. How many and what is the spectrum of the bulbs? I would recomend you read the "How To" section in this site under "lighting" to understand what I am getting at. The pot looks small too, but we talked about that already. Good luck!bongsmilie
