alright, originally this plant was from a bagseed, and was grown in a greenhouse for about a month and a half, until i recently had to relocate it to a different location. I have thrown together a spur of the moment little set up and i need you guys to tell me if you think it will work and what i need to do. the plant recently showed its sex and a few white hairs are popping up over the plant. its had a few dosages of alsakan fish emulsion . ive got one 70 wat hps light and two 13w cfl's down at the base of the plant, will this be enough, what otehr suggestion do you guys have?

For one plant, that's not really terrible lighting. I wouldn't expect a quarter pound off that plant or anything, but you'll definitely get *something*.

would you reccomend putting more cfl's throughout the plant? i read up on smaller hps bulbs and it said you should keep the light about 8 inches away from the plant, i just moved it down to about 11-12" away just to be on the safe side and ive got a small fan blowing on it, does that sound alright to you guys? Ill have more picture up later today, but keep on giving me some advice and help, ive never done this before all suggestions are appreciated thanks.

..some reflective material (mylar, white paint, foil, etc) would help.

alright i wrapped some foil around some boards and put it around the plant, you can tell it is giving the plant much more light.. last night i fed its last dose of alaksan fish emulsion to keep it green through the flowering stage and a drop of some superthrive in there, i just picked up some alaskan morbloom for flowering.. 0-10-10... does that sound alright? keep the suggestions and comments coming thanks

...something in the 10-50-10 range is good for flowering...

FRriend,

If you send her flowering now, you might get a whole 1/4 ounce outta that.

I would top her on several locations and continue to veg but get some more lighting on her. You cannot have too much light.

Your flowering potion is good. However I like a little nitro in my flower formula...so you can always add some nitrogen...but be careful as full nitro and flower ferts can lower the water pH really low.

I like seabird guano chunks just sprinkled on the soil bed and water with your flower formula and you will be fine.

But really, think about topping it and getting more lite and you will harvest much more than you are going to at this rate. This plant is no where ready to place into flower.

As it is a sativa, many strains are supposed to drop all the fan leaves rapidly to allow light to get down to all the stem flowers. You dont have even fan leaves to power this plant thru flower completely.

While you will get high if its got good crystals, your yeild will be very disappointing...at this time.

Good luck.

alright sorry its been so long since the update, but since the last update i have moved the plant back outside and it is growing much much better. It is 40" tall and has white hairs all over it. It has had one dose of its flowering fertilizer along with some superthrive. Is it normal for some of the pistils to already be turning red and amber, just a few of them are doing it here and there but im not sure. Leave suggestions and comments please.

alright heres the latest on the plant... since my last post it has recieved another half strength dose of 11-35-11 fertilizer with a drop of superthrive. it is growing nice and green and doesnt look like its slowing down at all. there is plenty of bud sites, and im gettin scared it could out grow the greenhouse which is about seven feet, its standing at 46 inches at this point. when will there be noticeable bud formation other than a shit load of pistils? is my harvest still looking like a quarter, if not any guesses? please leave some comments and suggestions about the grow, all the help possible is appreciated thanks.. ill keep you updated....
