newbie growing

Hello everybody... So like some of us i am getting quite tired of having to buy smokes so im shooting for growing some for myself just personal use. Heres my dilema i have read lots and have applied what i can the last few weeks. Ill add a pic of the plant i currentl;y have and ask for opinions. Mind you that this is the seed of some bud i got from some guy. The bud smoked real good but he had no idea what it was... Im being realistic no expecting all this high quality is more of a testing grown. As of right now the plant is close to five weeks but in comparison to what i seen here it seems quite skinny... and now is starting to bush. I wonder if is just the strain of the plant of im mjust fucking up.. the plant does look ok tho nice color and everything... Now i made it into a journal as i will be posting all my pics and the progress in here.

Plant is in an 8in pot not plannin on transplanting it... is approximately 6 weeks and is confimed to be female. Have it under a plant light and a 120w white light. Temperature in the room is at 78 degrees. great ventilation and using a high on nit fert right now. also following tips i have read makin sure zinc, calcium, potasium etc is on check. So let the opinions or questions start... This is our site science project and you all can participate by providing info and tips specific to this plant...(till i get my caramelicious and lowrider seeds hehe)

BTW the leaves on the bottom of the pots are the cutting from when they stressed on transplanting them.. Read is better to cut off the damage or dry leaves so the plant doesnt spend energy healing it.

bro for 5 weeks your plant is skinny and not much there i would get more light and get it as close as possible. I understand its a project but dont waste your time growing it and not doing it right...


I have attached a pic of a plant thats 3 1/2 weeks from seed in soil with about 175w in cfls about 6 27w 6500k and 2 23w 2700k...

hmm ok let me try that and see what happens within the week... somebody else told me a lil ess light and more ventilation so ill do one of the plants like that and the other your way and see what works... i def dont need to e wasting my time i want to get something descent lol
