A lack of leaf question

[mactictac]

Hey,
Even though i'm still really new to this, everything i have learnt so far has come from you guys, so thank you! :thumbsup:
Before I start, I'll let you know, first grow, wasnt planning on being that serious, got some seeds with a bag so thought, hey ho, i'll give it a go. bit of a mistake there. I hadn't done my reading at all! Poor quality incandescent bulbs are no good, as i found out haha. Anyway, now that i know what i do, i have replaced bulbs with cfls, high lumen output, things are looking up. I'm going to perservere (sp?) with this, learn from my mistakes, and i'm really looking foward to the road ahead!
Because of the initial poor light situation, the stem of my tallest is very elongated. It's strong and sturdy, but there are big stretches of bare stem before the next leaves. At 35cm, there are only 4 levels of fan leaves... I can't upload pics atm, but maybe this will help

hahaha :smokin:
I'm waiting until it's about 50cm or so to start flowering, but my question is, will the lack of leaves and veg affect yeild dramatically? will there now not be much space on the plant to produce buds?

Thanks in advance!

In a word, yes.

you got big time stretch. But hey, ya learn by mistakes. Hell I been learning my ass off!:thumbsup:

Yeah, I thought as much. Thanks for the quick reply man! Do you reckon it's worth keep vegging this one then, or should i throw in the towel, flower it and see what's what? I mean, the quicker this is finished, the quicker i can start again hah. What do you reckon? I put a lot of work into it after i'd found out where i'd been going wrong (everywhere hah), but tbh if it's going to come out rubbish, i'm ready to hurry up the process and start again.

yeah i had the same problem. stretched my plant out because i did little research when i planted it. but i am interested in the answer to your question if you should flower it now? that would be helpful to me aswell. but good luck man and better luck on your next grow. hopefully mine goes better then the first haha

I've decided to start flowering soon, wait a little longer first. Cant wait to see some results :thumbsup:
