So the buds seemed to stop growing 7 weeks into flowering, they are now into week 9.

Problems:
-bud not growing
-yellowing of leaves
-brown spots in leaves

So im thinking but not positive that maybe the plants roots have reached bottom with no room and thats why the buds havent grown anymore. I have had a ton of males so i set this one into flowering fairly early thats why i never put it into bigger container. The yellowing and brown spots on leaves could it be natural? or a deficiency and if its a defiency is it worth fixing since so close to harvest? Plan on harvesting in a few days.

The buds are just super small and i dont know what i did with to the main cola but its non existent.

The plant is potted into the one on the left and i guess i kind of tried to LST it with a coathanger into the planter on the right, there was another plant in the right planter before that turned out male.

Most likely, they're yellowing because they are in the process of sending all the nutrients to the buds in a last ditch effort for yourplant to reproduce and survive . Lamens terms: your plants most likely fine and close to, if not ready to harvest

what strain ? plus put up some pics

Also ph and what its been fed lately as well as the set up

Could just be a low yielder in a small pot ??

Was bag seed, no idea the strain, i used miracle grow soil that had higher N then P&K (i know miracle grow sucks, but my first grown female, i learned a shit ton from this.)

also pictures should be posted, can you not see them?

based on the shape of the plant and it's leaves I'm guessing it's an indica. At 9weeks of flower it is almost definantly ready to harvest

9 weeks the leaves will normally turn yellow. The reason the buds are small is because you used crappy light, crappy soil, and probably watered them too often.

ok what should i use on next grow? if hps is out of the question.. pretty much can only use CFLs. I used 4 100w cfls on this grow, thought that would be sufficient for 1 plants

How many watts of CFL's? by 4x 100 watts do you mean these bulbs are the size of 1 liter bottles of coke? Cuz that would be the minimum size of a 100 watt CFL, I think you are looking at the wattage equivalent and not the actual wattage used by the bulbs. You don't go by the equivalent rating, you go by the actual power used.

Why can't you use a HPS?

I see, i guess i was looking at the watt equivalent.. i just dont know enough about HPS to use it and i have no one in my city to help me. I pretty much limit my shopping to home depot and lowes.

Ive seen them (HPS bulbs) in home depot, but i know nothing of the balast (where to find it in store, how it works, etc)

If HPS is not an option, you could go with LED. A good LED light will be costly and probably not an investment you are ready to make yet. CFL and tube fluorescent is your best bet.

In reality you only have only about 100 watts of light from your 4 - 100 watt lights. CFL is rated in equivalent watts, comparing to old incandescent lights. If you look closely on the bulb it will say something like 23w, 26w, and so on.

CFL can provide a good head stash crop, but you need to bump up the wattage. 42 watt CFLs are a good place to start. 4 of those and improvements will be stellar.

HPS could be an option, i just need some information on it.

This is a closet grow so the clip ons that hold CFLs were just easy. Do they have clip on HPS?

Not to be an ass but how can you learn a shit ton by doing things so poorly , you need a decent potting soil made for flowering plants if your going to use soil you need to learn how to properly feed witch you haven't because you used mirical grow soil, need to learn how to properly transplant you need way more light then what you used , need to no how to run a strain and be able to compare your grows you have a lot to learn , so on the next grow start off by getting or mixing some better soil and start off with a easy nute line and get some better lights then you can start the learning process sorry bro if I seem like a dick it's just the truth

I know i seem like a moron, i'll accept all criticism, because like you said it will only make my grows better. I did a fair amount of research but was limited from some money issues. The money issues are gone and have a decent budget to work with next time.

i can finally buy decent lightening and mix my own soil, purchase nutes, etc..

Tone5500 really gave good advise.

Work on sourcing better soil, get stronger CFLs and learn the plant more. Adding a HPS could just be more, new problems. With HPS you need to start worrying about dealing with way more heat. Heat+closet without extraction fan= no bueno
