kill the regular light bulb. that will help lower your temp. put the florescent right on top of it. until it almost touches. put a little breeze from a desk fan on it. put it on an 18/ 6 light cycle. now watch it grow.

by regular light bulb, i assume, you are referring to an incandescent. if so, get rid of it. replace it with a spiral CFL.

The dirt is crap and not deep enough. The lights are wrong.At very least get the floro right on top of it almost touching or get the cfl fdd said.You need fans.The yank is a bad setup from the get go.And the temp shouldnt get above 85 ever or it damages the plant and yeah at 5 months the plant should have been done and dried lol good luck next round

Hello!

I would suggest reading the grow FAQ. So much useful information stuffed in there.

You'd be smoking that right now if you had read the FAQ =)

gluck man!

Damn, 5 months for that!!! I feel for you, dude. Good advice already given. I'd also look into getting the Foxfarm products - Tiger Bloom, Grow Big and Big Bloom. Also Superthrive made a major impact on my grow when my girls were about 2" after 2 weeks. Soon after I started using that, the plant took off.

Plain and simple....you need more light...not more fertilizer.

Carefully transplanting the plant into a 1 or 2 gallon pot will also help. The root has hit bottom and may be too wet.

Try to replicate the outdoors as much as possible. Good soil, ample light, a breeze and the proper amount of water should get things going for you.

good luck

that doesn't look like dirt, it looks like mulch or something?

i'm w/ fletch for sure, you need some good dirt and everything else people posted. i bet that thing has some serious roots scrounging around under there, it's like banzai.


good luck!

you are so on it!!!!!!!!!!! give them a couple days to ease into their new enviroment, then watch them take off. job well done my friend, job well done!!!!!! keep a close eye on the leaf tips for burning if they start to brown just raise the lights a little. they look so happy now. soil looks just a smidgin' dry.

You have a bit of time...so start looking look on ebay for a deal on a 400hps.

Yeah I'm no expert, but I think you need a stronger root system and a LOT more light. Like been says, get a bigger pot. Your plant is probably maxed out for its environment. More roots = bigger plant = more bud.
