from seed she's 2 months old. I switched to 12/12 about 2 weeks ago and she started showing pistils clusters about a week ago.

Just want to know what you guys think or if you have some tips for me. I'm currently running 120w between 5 cfls. Haven't given her nutes at all I don't think I'm going to use nutes. Just water her whenever her soil get a little dry. image.jpegimage.jpeg image.jpeg

It's a bit thin, but it will bud. I would pour all the light you possibly can to it. And you need to use some bloom nutes if you expect any yield worth anything.
It's only about a week into flowering I'm gonna feed it sst germinated corn seeds mixed and strained with water. I heard good stuff about it for flowering.

Fair bit of stretch, you may need to support the colas a little further into flower but it'll be an alright plant.

Tip for your next grow, keep the lights as close as possible without burning the tips. CFL's can be kept really close to the canopy since they don't produce much heat. I use 2x 145w 2700k and 2x80w 6400k photography lights in my stealth box and normally keep them about 3-4" from the canopy top. It helps the stem strength because the node structure is tighter and thicker since it didn't need to waste time reaching for that pwerty light.

Your plant kind of looks like a swazi gold in its natural habitat haha.

Edit: can't be sure yet but keep an eye on your new growth. It could just be the strain but you may have a K (Potassium) or S (Sulfur) deficiency on its way. If you notice the new growth becoming more and more yellow you may want to research those two deficiencies.

I've always tried to keep the plant as close as possible to the light and as it grew I lowers the plant since my light setup is stationary. Also it's always been light green in the middle of new growth so might just be the strain but like I said I've never used any nutes besides the ones that come in the soil and tap water. Also my cfls get pretty hot I have 4 bulbs from one socket with 3 y splitters idk if that's why they get so hot. I have another CFL cord hanging off the side of the plant and I move it around everyday or so. Is Swazi gold a strain?

Yeah swazi gold is a strong sativa hybdrid from Swaziland. It's probably not, just that node structure reminds me of one.

Don't stress about the new growth, it's likely just the strain.
