Just starting to fatten up!! Those aren't little "balls" coming out of the bud, third pic, third node down from the top bud? Just looking out, not trying to worry you. Probably female flowers which haven't grown pistils yet.:mrgreen:

Yeah right now I have a fluorescent tube on the very top and two 100 watt cfl's on either side near the top... How much bigger do they get would you think, and approximately how long should you keep your plant in flowering?? THanks guys

well if your saying that this is only yout 3rd week into flowering than you probably still have 6-7 weeks left before you would be able to harvest. Or if all the pistils have changed from transparent to orange before 6-7 weeks is up on all of the colas than feel free to harvest that SOB. What are the specs on you lighting system I am very interested. Hope this helped. Peace.

I have a 40 watt fluorescent tube going over both of my plants about an inch over their tops. I also have four 100 watt cfl's placed around the plants at various elevations to get the tops of the plants, but also the buds down below as well. And I rotate the plants everyday and spray the leaves with Miracle grow bloom booster and thats pretty much it. So when all the pistils turn orange is your cue to start harvesting or are there any exceptions? Also does anyone know about how much this bad boy is going to grow more. Will it actually get bigger now, or will the buds just grow in size. I appreciate all the help guys!!

first thing, 2 weeks before you harvest quit using that miracle grow BS and flush your roots thoroughly to make sure that your bud smoke doesnt taste like it after you harvest. Another thing you can harvest most of the time when 90% of the pistils have turned orange but this is half-assed and I wouldnt recommend it. If I where you I would just wait until they all turn orange as this is the correct way and your buds will have filled out more in resin and in size..... how could you complain? As far as your plant getting bigger; it may grow a few more inches in height but most of the growth from this point will be in the buds. One more tip if you can get your hands on a good magnifying glass take it up close to your buds and examine the trichomes to make sure that they are developing right. One way to know is by examining the length of the stems and then if they have fully developed heads. Check out this image if you dont already know what Im talking about because if your trichomes look somthing simmilar to this your plant is going to be a potent one http://www.weedbay.net/gallery/files/3/2nd-trich.jpg
Good Luck, Im off to smoke a :joint:.

great start - they look healthy. you were smart to start small. i'll bet you already have a pretty good idea on how to set-up a new grow area.
