Hello I'm growing what I belive is a indica hybrid. She's week 5 of the light cycle & I have her under one CFL 2700k 68w bulb. I've feed her alfalfa meal, earth juice catalyst & molasses in veg stage. Currently feeding her Fox Farm Tiger bloom & Fox Farm Beastie Bloomz ( going to switch to Chaching in a week) & sunleaves Jamacian bat guano. Here is a pic. How is she looking?
Week five of the 12/12 cycle

Well, it don't look like an Indica to me, definitely Sativa dominant, so be prepared for the long haul. One big word of advice. Next time (or this time) forget all the rocket fuel shit you are feeding it, stay with simple nutes (until you learn more). The money you spent on all that medicine show shit should be spent on better lighting (which you really need). Go get a couple of more lamps, or else you are really wasting your time. Go spend another $50, and REALLY light that plant up. It will appreciate it. Good luck bro.
I was also going to buy another light when I go buy Cha ching for her. It's indica dominant trust me it just grew so big because of lighting the others I had before were short & the leaves were that of an indica

She looks healthy but more light would definitely brighten up her days.

Looks good, if you can, grab 2 of these and sit back and watch the bud get bigger and dense. http://www.amazon.com/Watt-CFL-Light-Bulb-Fluorescent/dp/B003ZI2QTW she really needs good light in flower...

More light cant hurt, but I'm wondering how high is your light source from the canopy? Can't tell from the picture, and I know I raise my lights before taking pics, so I've got nothing to go on except to say that she does look a bit stretched, like she's reaching for light so... move it down some, or add some more light.
Remember, as long as you can keep the temp down, you can add as much light as you want.

I have the light 5 inches away from my plant

when it comes to CFLs or Flouros its best to keep the lights around an inch or two from the canopy, but no more than that. Light intensity is diminished exponentially with every inch further away from these light sources. Take advantage of the fact that they run relatively cool in comparison to HPS, so you can put them right on top of your plants as long as you have decent ventilation.

Ran ALL T5 through the whole grow. Flowered with the lights within no more than 1.5"

Right now the plant is about somewhere where a clone would be between weeks three and four using a 1kw at 44"'s. What you're doing is amazing with that little light bulb
So for the lighting I have, are the nugs forming okay?Right now the plant is about somewhere where a clone would be between weeks three and four using a 1kw at 44"'s. What you're doing is amazing with that little light bulb

I "think"it's doing great considering. You might want to add another bulb as the plant gets larger.
