Small for age? First Grow.

[iiiDrGonzoiii]

OK so this is my first time growing and first time posting. So hang with me if you would.

The bean came from a good batch of bud-Unknown genetics.

Started out in MG Organic. In my kitchen window for 2 Weeks. It got cold and I didn't think it'd actually grow.

Transfered to a 10in pot with Ferry Moris organic starter soil. -Zero Nute
value

At this point it was put in a spare closet under 4 14w 5000k CFL with a light schedule of 20/4.

After Three weeks I added a 5th 14w 5000k CFL as side lighting and just recent added the 18in 15w 8000k Tube.

I've been feeding every other watering ,which I've been going by weight, with MG Plant food at half strength.

A fan runs lightly for most hours of the light period.

What I want to know is if this likes stunted for its age. Were looking at about 64 days from sow of seed

Just add more light it'll grow faster. It looks fine.

64 days from sow of seed

Wow. the plant looks great, but 2 months old? Is it still cold? Were the roots bound when you changed the pot? Is it having any recent growth spurts or stagnant?

kitchen windows should be reserved for like basil. not generally the best place to grow marijuana unless its a greenhouse window

i beg to differ! check out user indoor sun king ! totally sets the standard for indoor sunshine growers !!
but yeah you likely gave it a cold shock from the off season . Also, when exposing a plant to sunlight for the first time, i like to put it in a shaded area, and gradually day-by-day introduce an hour or so of direct sun and, it avoids shock
i agree that you can get better results using artificial light during the crappy months, but sunshine will do the trick if you have the right window

5000, kelvin is a notch better than the standard 6500 kelvin cool white(blue) used in most cfl grows, time to add 30-50% red light for some vertical growth, add some warm white, 2700 kelvin bulbs, study kelvin is a good idea at this stage!

Good time to use uncle bens topping technique

No the temps range between 73-83 from night and day. And originally it was in a #5 jiffy pot and it got transplanted as the roots were just starting to poke through. With in the last 3 weeks I'd say its gone from 4in to 8.75in

pretty sure he uses cfls..in the begining, not kitchen windows
he also has it set up for max potential light and reflecting....

he doesnt just sit it in the kitchen window....during a cold frost
you need the right window ive grown plenty of pot in my greenhouse window....but i wouldnt stick my plant in the kitchen window...

I have 2 23w 2700k CFL that can be added as soon as I get the plugs for em. I was going to add 2 but you thinking I should add all 4?

I understand thats not ideal but I tried starting in the closet after germ and they all died. So I figured I'd try in the window and had some luck is all.

Looks like it was stunted, but you fixed it. Seems to be growing nicely now. Either let her go or top her. I think it should grow normally now.

looks good, has good color.

I wasnt wasn't trying to come off as being hostile. Just letting you know that I do know that they would receive a cold shock. Just kinda assumed it would be taller/bushier at 2 months. Being only 9in IFK expected more for that time I guess. Lol

Throw them outside!

Wish i could. But I have zero yard or a secure locations to plant.

So the plan is to be able to smoke this baby on July 3rd at Midnight. I plan on leaving it in veg for the next 12 days and switch to 12/12 on April 24th and Flowering till june 19th. That would account for a week of drying and a week of curing. Is this time frame too ambitious or can I kinda expect 7g or so? I know its hard to guess yields just hoping for a birthday blunt or three
