i have a plant that is 11 inches tall and and has been in flowering since the beginning of january it is now april. it is in a about a 7 inch in diameter flower pot that is about 7 inches tall. its growing in a small stealth grow box about a foot and a half tall and a foot deep and 8 inches wide. during vegetative when it was flourishing my cfl fell down and was sitting on the top of the plant when i found it. it had burned off two or three of the top fan leaves completely. many of the fan leaves towards the middle were already in weak shape and the ones towards the bottom were browning and the perfect ones at the top were now damaged as even some of the surviving leaves had burned leaflets. now my plant has only like 3 barely alive crumpling fan leaves left towards the middle and the stem is completely covered in the tiny leaves that grow along the nodes which it is now relying on for photosynthesis. the new leaves that grow in at the top since the burning have all been thin and shriveled and never open (i suspect phosphorous deficiency or potassium) there are bud sites all over the plant growing out like crazy and even towards the bottom where there are no fan leaves. the bud sites are basically stems growing out of the nodes or the would be nodes that are covered in small seed pods like a raspberry with white and orange hairs coming out but the buds wont fatten plus they have no room in the thickness of the small stipules (small leaves growing out of the stem) that are pretty much making a jungle around the stem. i guess its a sativa because of the lengthyness of the bud stems and the time it is taking. I have been giving it a miracle grow fert in its water with lots of nitrogen (24 percent) and only about 10 of the potassium and phosphorous and i am also thinking the nitrogen could be locking up other nutrients. any advice on what to do would be appreciated on how to get this thing to finish
because now I use two boxes - one for flowering and one for vegging)... Nonetheless growing marijuana is not as hard as everyone makes it out to be. Just a boil the water or buy spring the water from your local grocery store, that way the PH is correct and go buy the "three headed monster" aka Fox Farm Liquid Ferts - comes n a three pack. Just make a 2x2 box that stands about 3 ft high and has a fan blowing in and a fan blowing out, I use computer fans from radio shack and they've yet to fail me. Keeps temps right if mounted correctly and fresh air regardless! Hell, I've made growing boxes out of everything from a speaker box to a dresser to a TV.... YES. I SAID TV!!! An old projector style TV, talk about incognito! My own fiance didn't know what i was doing!
