looks stretched, but idk im a noob

 

[chuck estevez]

looks good for what you got, expect those little buds to swell up to big buds.what are you feeding her?

 

[pmumbry]

its lanky as hell, but it is healthy and will give you a bit of bud. expect a half a gram to a gram per watt of light.

 

[sanduskystightNds]

yeah i dont know why it stretched...it was real tight but outgrew my veg spot so had to flower and in 2 1/2 weeks went up almost 20".......im not feeding anything.....dont know what to feed or where to get it....gave it some fox farm during the veg stage but nothing in flowering

 

[bizzkut]

brew up some compost tea and water a diluted amount per week

Lanky, get more light, surround with more CFL's if you can.
Do you have a Lowe's?
Go to Lowe's, and in the seed rack, they have envelopes of veggie food by Burpee.
It is a 0-15-11
You can use that (You said on a budget, right?) for regular feedings, and supplement with an occasional feed of MG all purpose nutes when you see a need for some N, like now.
Not the best but it will work fine.
As for your question, wouldn't you rather have people look, and not give answers, rather than look and give answers to a question they may have no knowledge about?
On the other hand, people may peek real quick, and see nothing wrong, so they just move on.

Stretched... Not enough light.

 

[smoke and coke]

i would lst it horrizontal and get as many lights over the whole length of the plant. tie a string from your pot around the stem and back to the pot and tie. then tie a string around the plant about 2/3 up and pull it the opposite way of the counter tie and tie it off. wait about 3 days and pull it over some more. after 2 or 3 times it will be pulled over horizontal. be carefull not to pull it over too much at one time and snap the stem.

 

[robert030188]

Like they said as many lumens and lights as possible but as for nutes order a free sample from here www.hydroponic-research.com got to me in 3 days...good stuff

 

[sanduskystightNds]

that link didnt open,,,,

 

[robert030188]

that link didnt open,,,,

My bad www.hydroponic-research.com should start ya right

 

[SnakeByte]

Looking healthy but stringy... Maybe do some topping, pinching, or LST. Add lights on the side if you can

 

[Thundercat]

I like smoke and coke's idea. LST(limited stress training) is a fantastic way to increase budding sites, and in turn yield in most cases. I actually just yesterday LST'd my new WW mother. I also agree with bakatare666 your plant looks fairly good,and that many have prolly just passed on by after viewing. The stretching which is due heavily to the relatively small amount of light, but also due to the genetics of the plant at the beginning of flower is the only thing I really see wrong with it. Most strains will stretch between 20-60% in height in the first couple weeks flowering. The maturity of the plant when you start it flowering,and the lighting have alot to do with exactly how much it will stretch. If you are able to add more cfl lighting that would deffinitly help your yield. LSTing the plant would allow that new extra light to access all the side branches and maximize your yield imho.

If you take a look at my journal in my sigline in the first 5-10 pages I show the CFL light fixture that I built and have been using for 4 years now. I love it total cost was like 25 bucks plus bulbs, and it holds 8 26w cfls = 208w almost zero heat. You can easily custom taylor it for yourself also. I have a second one I built to go over some clones that only has 4 bulbs still tons of light and only one plug.

As far as expecting yeild man that is a question that no one can really answer especially not this early. There are way to many variables, but I can tell you that this harvest will have taught you alot, or atleast should. With that knowledge and everything you read on here you'll do even better next time. I can't emphasis how important the search function is on this site, because almost any question you might ask prolly has been. Donn't take this the wrong way I'm not tryin to be a dick at all, there is just an incredible amount of info available. That being said, research everything you read there are alot of people that like to give advice out of their asses.

Happy growing, TCat

 

[robert030188]

I agree with you on the cfls thundercat...i prefer them myself for cost and heat control

 

[Thundercat]

They have served me well. To be honest I have only changed like 4 of the bulbs over the last 4 years too. I should prolly do that some time get some fresh ones in there.

Month probably before you see what you recognize as "Buds".

Just a note, you can click "Reply with quote" instead of copy/ pasting.
