Finish her out, thats hardly enough to get just the lamp

Well does it not depend on where he would grow indoors ? a small room requires less then a larger one :jointsmile:

with a small cabinet grow you can do it fairly cheap

she isn't showing any stretch, and appears healthy ... I would continue to do what you're doing ... add some 'flowering'-type nutrients, (fertilizers with larger 2nd & 3rd numbers - example: 4-20-20, etc...) ... if you can find Fox Farm Tiger Bloom, or, their 'Beastie Blooms', they're excellent ... if not, use Miracle Grow Bloom, but mix it at half-strength, it tends to be strong ... and, only feed once per week ... keep an oscillating fan on her, 24/7, will strengthen her stems ... :smokin:

thanks reaper..actually yesterday i cut off the bigger leaves to provide more energy to the buds..hope it's a good move..I will keep growing with sunlight and see what will it look like at the end:jointsmile:

Wow it looks like natural light treated you well but if you want to speed up or increase growth buy some cfls to add.

Buy like 4 23 watt cfls and that plant will be worthy of envy.

Cfls are cheap it will prob run you 7$ and 15$ more if you have to buy the holders for the bulbs.

Word of experience though cfls get pretty hot so keep 5 inches away instead of 2 inches away.

Dont remove fan leaves go get more energy to the buds.. its bunk.. It would be like cutting off your hands so you could run faster.

yeah, that's not quite true. i know people who remove all the fan leaves from the main stalk at 21 days into flower and also at 45 days of flower. with a 600W HPS and a 4' x 4' tent the guy pulls 3+ LBS every 55 days.

so while it's not recommended for the most part, it can be done.
