I'm on pt.2 of my first grow; started with two plans, one an indica, one a sativa. The indica was done enough, so got the chop down. This is good for the Sativa as she now gets more room in my grow space, she needs it, she's a monster!
Both plants started about the same size but since switching to flower the Sativa has really legged out. I suspect it has something to do with my hanging CFLs over the top of both plants. After a while the top of the Sativa hardly got any light because I was dedicated to finishing up the (much prettier Indica) so moved them lower to get close to the shorter plant.
Below are some current pictures of the Sativa:
So a couple things:
and some questions...
Thanks!

Below are some current pictures of the Sativa:
So a couple things:
- I only used to have 2 hanging 400w CFLs; one blue and one red spectrum that hung over the plant(s). About 2 weeks ago a friend let me borrow his bank of CFLs that i had to affix to the wall since i could not hang them straight down. This bank has 2 red spectrum (one from earlier and one of his) and a mixed spectrum in the middle.
- Above the plant i have hanging my old blue CFL, since the red one went into the bank on the side.
- The plant is in a ridiculously small pot (1qt)
- I had to tie her up, she was flopping all over the place!
- She hasn't really been growing up much anymore, and the buds are finally starting to fill out a little more (thank goodness)
and some questions...
- Should I even have the blue spectrum light hanging in there above her? Does this help during flowering? (i actually have a second blue bulb i could hang if it helps...)
- Would it be better if i moved the blue into the bank on the side and one of the red from the bank above her?
- The hairs on the on the middle & side colas are starting to turn red, but on the top they are mostly white. is this a result of the lights?
- Any other advice/tips? How long you think she's got left in flowering? (been 65 days now)
Thanks!
