The pics are from when it was a week, 3 weeks, and a little over a month old. Ive been using miracle gro organic potting mix, foxfarm grow big and big bloom, dont really have the best lights (im a struggling college student) ive got 3 cfls 20 watts on it and some big ass floodlight i got from walgreens. I feel like the plant should be further along if not for the light situation. Its not budding yet but there are several white hairs on the top not shown in the picture

What's up Dj Troop? You plant is looking very healthy. The white hairs mean you have a girl You want to start feeding her flowering nutes. Also you might have to change the light cycle to 12/12. Where did you get your seeds from? I got some auto Blue Mystics seeds from Nirvana and they would not flower until I changed the lights to 12/12.

I ordered em from Nirvana seeds. This is somewhat an experimental grow, im just trying to get enough yield to buy some better lights.

you may not even get enough to smoke..just try to add some more cfl's to make it worth your time..remember better lights cost a pretty penny

I used (3) 42 watt cfl's at my short rider with gh flora series nutrients in a 4g dwc hydro setup. the more light you give them, the better they do. I really enjoyed my short rider.

your plant is looking good. Im betting that plant explodes in flower. I know it doesnt look like you will get anything but wait there is a lot of growing left to be done. Growing times are never cut in stone, Soil does take longer so let the plant be your guide and not the calendar.
