Couple weeks into flowering, opinions?

Hey guys, this is the first grow I've done. I think its turned out pretty well. It's been about a month now since I switched the lights to 12/12.

Pictures are attached, the first 4 should be the first plant. and the last 2 photos are the second plant.



Just wondering if you guys can give me any information or tips on what I can do to help them along. Also if you have a good eye for predicting yields give me your opinion!

Feel free to ask me for any info that could help you give me info!

Thanks a lot!

Looks a little stretchy, what kind and how much light do you have on her?
What is the masking tape holding? LOL

yea id like to know what that masking tape between to 2 cushions goal is lol. Maybe a little stretchy, 2 more cfl's, one on each side would prevent anymore of it. I would have let it veg a good bit longer, but health wise it seems healthy.

Hahaha honestly the masking tape is involved with holding the suitcases together which are holding up the lights. It may or may not be the sketchiest lighting set up ever hahahaha.

The lights aren't strong, I actually cant remember the statistics right now and I'm not at my place :/

You're right they definitely are stretchy. Would adding more light around the sides help that?

with cfl's you can almost never have too many lights, i use 2 23 watt cold spectrums, and 2 45 warm spectrums, thats for 2 plants in early veg(gonna add 2 more to each in later veg). Just be sure your lights up top are about 3 inches or so from the tops of your plant to avoid stretching in that department, and for undergrowth stretching, adding lights around the plant would solve that, as they would grow towards that light instead of the one up top.

Ok cool thanks.

Anyone have any guesses for how much longer until I would harvest? I'm guessing something around another month or so.

I'd recommend putting some reflective material like mylar around the sides of the plant. Might help a bit with the stretch.

Great idea. I knew about this, but somehow it slipped my mind. Thanks!

a month is a good guess, maybe a little longer, get a jewelers lense so you can see the trichomes, if about 50% of them have turned an amber color, its ready to harvest, earlier then that and your not getting the fullest thc content you can from your plant.
