Very nice for first grow. If you upgrade to 200w you could get 2 plants under a single light if you train them. I got 2x 200w cfl and cram 4 plants under it at a time and if you got a tent can even have seedlings under the canopy. I had 9 plants going under 2 lights until one turned up male. Now I got 4 full grown and 4 seedlings. Nice work :weed::leaf::joint::hump:

Correct myself. Didn't notice it was 2 plants. Even better. Keep canopy flat and make them go wider. You will end up more by flower time. Top and train or FIM and train.

They look like their getting close. What week? What's estimated flower time from breeder? I go by hairs and trichs. Some go by one or the other but it's best to take both into cinsideration. I would say when the hairs are atleast 50% Orange and / or curling in, and / or the trichs are more than 50% milky. Depends on strain (indica or sativa) and your desired effects. If you like sleepy bud, harvest a little later. 75% or more for hairs and 75%milky and some amber trichs. That's my opinion. Hope it helps. Looking great!

A little bit of an update for the Mystery Cross I got going on from 2 different bag seeds. Going well on day 33. Not the best looking but it stinks, in a good way, and has the biggest buds on any of my plants at the minute. I'm running again next cycle and I'm upgrading to leds from cfls. I'm hoping to get some massive colas. I already have gotten some really nice size ones in the past so I'm anxious to see the results from the first run. This is day 33 after flip. It's about 4th week into flower I think. Roughly. 20200511_071131.jpg20200511_070959.jpg20200510_081325.jpg20200510_081202.jpg20200511_101502.jpg
