What can I do at this point to increase yield?

She's coming up on 6 weeks old, about a week and a half into flower.

She lost her brother a couple days ago, but she seems to be enjoying the alone time.

~12" tall and pretty bushy toward the bottom as you can see.

Any suggestions? I have a cheapie 17 watt flouro grow light that I got as a gift, and 3 26 watt CFLs (2x2700k, and one 5600k)

I plan to add more side lighting when the time comes...

The plant looks fabulous !

If you are just going to use CFL's I would probably put into flower now. It looks like an Indica and probably won't get much bigger without a larger pot and a Metal Halide or HPS light and weeks more time.

That's why I would flower now, Indicas flower great under CFL's. :weed:

No ferts so far. The plant is in miracle grow soil unfortunately, but I plan on switching to something less threatening next week when I repot.

But since MG has ferts in it, I haven't added extra yet as to avoid any burning.

The only thing that I have put into it is a little bit of unsulphured molasses in the water a few times.

I would have topped it but its to late for that, are you cloning her? Also what nutes are you giving her if any?

Yeah I plan to CFL all the way.

Shes in flower now, just noticing pistils really starting to show up at the top.

new pot next week and I'm def adding more light sooner or later.

If Ive been adding no nutes other than Molasses, is it too late to start now?

I'm not sure with the Miracle Grow stuff. I would search around the site and find someone using Miracle Grow, they might have an idea.

Good Luck :joint::peace:

Which soil did you start with? I had all my grows in MG seed starting soil, perlite, and moss. If you did the flush between veg and flower stage you can add the MG bloom booster to it and it will be fine. Just start off with the ferts at about 1/4 strength to get the plant started. Then work your way up to full strength. Second increase the amount of light. The smallest I ever did with a signal plant is about 150 watts of cfl.

MG ferts are ok to start off with. Yields are ok at best. I am now using BC ferts. The difference is unreal. Plants are anywhere from 4 to 6 inches taller through veg. Also the flowering ferts are working perfect. Saw the signs of the sex within 1 week of switching cycle.

So what would happen if I ran some water over the root ball, replanted into some more organic soil, and started with the fox farm flowering ferts?

fox farm flowering ferts...try to say that 10 times fast.

If you are talking about the organic MG soil, check the built in fert level. From what i remember the seed starter has the lowest ferts. If it is as low as the SS soil, just feed water to give it a good flushing and switch to foxfarm after a week or so.
