How does my plant look?

[growithl0ve]

First time growing, i inherited her from a friend She's a Sativa. I just want some advice to see how how i'm doing.
When i first got it, the plant was already flowering really early. I think its growing okay now but not really sure?
i put it in light for 12 hours everyday, it's in soil and i only fed it nutrients once, after i did that and started giving
it 12 hours of light it just started shooting out leaves and the branches grew a lot. is there anything else i should be doing??



(1ST PIC is when i first got her) & ( 2ND AND 3RD PIC ARE HOW SHE IS NOW )

It looks ok I guess but you might wana do something about the stretching or when you start getting buds, the stems may fall over. What type of lighting/set up do you have?

Looks pretty streched but looks good.

doesnt look bad, might be overwatering. you need some more lights, and closer, within 6 inches.

real cheap solution here. better design too http://www.amazon.com/Feit-Electric-Reflector-Replacement-Bulb/dp/B00316FAI2/ref=sr_1_8?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1360047608&sr=1-8&keywords=cfl+4+pack

Thanks for that link i'm gonna buy these forsure. how should i set up everything i have a extra closet inside my room that i could empty out?

 

[bmeat]

yup, then all you need is a fan pointing at the lights, blowing out of the closet to control the heat. should be good to go then.

Will do thanks, i knew it was to stretched out i could tell when i got it. I don't have any set up right now, i just been putting it outside in the sun. I really wanna set something up in this extra closet i have but i need something cheap for now, because i don't have enough cash at the moment, not untill i do My TAXES haha

forsure thanks bro ima, start that up tomorrow

 

[bmeat]

you can get better lights for more money ($30), but for 5 dollars you cant go wrong. dont expect much from a 5 dollar pack of bulbs though.

supposedly their kelvin is 2700k, so theyre good for flowering

Ya i ordererd them and i also found some at a local store different brand tho and im using those for now till the other one's come in.
i have 3 42Watt CFL bulb's and i set up a little extra closet with a fan its pretty cool it's actually working too

 

[bmeat]

you got more than enough light now.

each plant needs like 50-100.

did you buy daylight bulbs at the local store? 5-7k, since the ones coming are for flowering 2-3k?

 

[Ghettobird209]

holy shit bmeat is helping someone.........i think it might be real this time?

 

[growithl0ve]

the ones i bought at the store were 42 watt 2700k they were only 2 for 11 so i was like sweet ill do this for now, so i basically have a bunch of extra bulbs.
should i keep one of the lights on the lower part of the plant? i just have them hanging with some relfectors about 6 1/2 inches away
