First grow. Auto AK47. CFL closet

Hey everyone. This is my first grow and its going well above my expectations. I just randomly bought some seeds, didn't know anything about the growing. Kept seeds for 1 year and managed to germinate 2/10 seeds. First one was growing OK, I had put it in my balcony. Then my cat came and shat on it. So I was left with only one plant, put it in a small box with 5 CFLs. Then it became too small. I had to move to a whole closet.
After it started flowering it bursted in height. I was amazed. It looks like its still growing. How do I stop it from going to height?

Beginning of growing was 8/20 and the flowering started 9/18.
I'm watering like every few days and fertilizing with bloom fertilizer every other watering.

Any tips from experienced growers? If I put like a few 2700 23wat CFLs to current setup, will it help with the yield?

Just curious I wonder when will it finish growing? Does it look like 30g of yield?

Looks pretty damn good for an inexperienced grower. Definitely add more light if you can, then i'd say you'd be comfortably getting an ounce. You'll probably have to wait around 8 weeks till harvest, depends on the strain, maybe sooner maybe later

Edit: It should stop stretching soon but some strains do keep going all through-out flowering, if it gets too much you can just tie branches down to keep it lower. Also make sure to keep an eye out for too much nutrients, I've found feeding every second watering can be too much for a lot of strains but if she looks healthy she's fine

You're going to need more light.

Get one of these. http://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Horticulture-Compact-Fluorescent-Growing/dp/B00HG1JSX6/ref=sr_1_12?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1443535080&sr=1-12&keywords=apollo+horticulture

Then take your other CFLs and move them down and use them as supplemental lighting for the lower nodes.

Thanks for comments. I've bought a new lamp. But Ive got some sad news. I noticed spider mites, so I bought from local gardening center potassium soap. Ive sprayed the plant with it. The bud hairs (dunno how called) started getting brown today. Seems like my plant is already one foot in the coffin. Really hope it regenerates...

Well this method didn't really work. So I wiped underside of the leaves with alcohol/water mix. And then sprayed it all over. I hope that wont kill the plant and kill those damn spiders...

bugger !
I wouldn't use that soap shit, no no

So when I did alcohol therapy, it worked with spiders, but my plant looks very sick. It looks like a deficiency and like toxicity. I dont know whats happening and what to do. Buds seem ok, hope it wont die till harvest...

How's she lookin now?

Well it may not look different in the photos, but it looks like its not dying more anymore. And I dont know if it is for sure or it only looks to me, but looks like buds started growing again, many buds appeared on the bottom (maybe its 600w led lamp i recently bought).
I was thinking to harvest, but saw new pistils everywhere, so will probably wait more. There are some amber trichomes, some milky and some clear. Took a bud for testing, baked it in the oven, got baked myself, Im waiting when ill be done with this one and I want to do second grow right away. Will try scrogging, topping, all kinds of stuff. Really exciting.
But this dude went over my expectations already actually!

Right on! Glad she's not on deaths doorstep anyways... lol

Hey guise. I know it was not the time to harvest but that smell...
Will have to upgrade my grow cabinet with carbon filter before i do my second grow. For now ill enjoy not fully ripe ak47.
Trichomes are most milky. Some amber and some clear so maybe it wont be very low potency.
I just placed buds in box and in grow box. Will it dry propertly?

yeah sure it will dry, properly, I dunno about that. I would suggest though that you have a fan on in the space to keep the air moving if possible.
