My first grow!

So I grew some sour diesel from seed. I'm currently 2 days away from the 5th week of flowering using the hesi nutes in soil at 75% recommended dosage. I'm hoping for 1.5 - 2 Oz a plant, is that realistic after harvest?

The top of the plant obv looks nice and full it's the flowers below im concerned about as they aren't as full and fat as the top buds. would adding a CFL light bulb on the side of the plant help even if it's a white light? (not like the orange spectrum light like the hps gives off)

Check out my pics and let me know what you think!
I also added one pic of the mom plant.
Thanks.

What size light are you using?

Is it viable to tie your girl down LST style and lower the light? The parts you tie down will bend back up towards the light in no time, and it will allow the inner buds to get more light and grow. Also, the closer the light the better :) so long as you arent burning your girl.

I bend the large leaves to allow more light, accidentally ripped a leaf off once too. I currently have 2 plants under 150 watt hps that's about 6" above the plants. they seem to be growing well, just don't have anything to compare too.

Pruning leaves off isnt a bad thing :P I LST my plant, basically bending the stalks horizontally. I tie them to the bucket they grow in, and in a few hours the tops point back up towards the light! This makes your plants bush out, and gives you a nice flat canopy of buds. Basically it lets more of your plant get an even spread of light, instead of the plant growing up in a Christmas Tree style!

That said, your girl is looking great anyway :) im sure you'll do fine once its time to chop! Should record your end result, then do a grow with heavy LST and a lower light so you can see which is better!

Turn off your HPS before posting pictures. That way every picture looks like the last one. No way for us to pick up on something that maybe you didn't know without having good detail and lighting.
