Love the way you think lol. It looks like she is LST'ed right? you could veg her bigger but if the lights on it now are the most your going to have now would be a fine time to switch it. CFL's do much better with low even canopies then with tall lanky plants. If you don't have enough light and veg her to big you might end up with less quality and airy nugs. If my size estimate is about right it's just a tad smaller then when I started mine flowering and it's taking up the better part of an 18"x28" grow box now.

No she wasn't LST'ed(had to look it up :wink: ) I snipped the top off after there were 4 nodes, read how to somewhere on the internet as well although I can't find what it's called currently. Your plant is gorgeous!!!

What you did is called topping or FIM'ing. And thank you I think it's a good first attempt.

If harry doesn't come bye and chime in on that bushmaster stuff and you go that route shoot him a :pm:. he gave the other guy some instructions that contradict the packaging a bit.

yeah I did that to one of my retarded clones to see if there was much difference, so far there is not but I only vegged for 2 weeks after the cut. The cola is slightly phatter then the one i didn't do. I suspect I just didn't veg long enough and that these clones were a bit stressed so didn't grow much in that 2 weeks.

I'm not going to rush my plant, I bought some Jack's Classic Blosom Booster 10-30-20 at my local nursery(best they had)earlier today along with a digital timer. Fed the plant around noon, and lights will go off for the first time tonight at 9. Set the timer for 12/12, will be updating in a weeks time.

So it's been a month since this has been updated, how does it look, time to consider harvesting??? I ask cause I'm not sure what I'm looking at when looking thru the 30x eyeglass I was told to buy, but some of the buds are turning orange  so I'm asking you guys...

Should I continue using Jack's Classic Blosom Booster, or I should ask, "when do I stop feeding it".

thx

If I added a 250 or 400W HPS light at this point would it make a difference in yield or highness??? I have 5 new seedlings that are 4-5 in high that I would like to continue growing, same seeds, love this pot trying to figure whether it's worth the expense... Finally have the extra cash to expend provided it's worth the expense.

Should stimulate more/faster growth and give a lil more potency. Wait till the crystals (trichomes) start to turn milky white to amber then harvest.

I am not sure where you are in flowering, but looks like the early to mid stages. So the light should benefit you. Whether it is gonna be cost effective a this point, i can't really say! But prolly not for this grow. However and investmant like that is still worth while if you plan on continuing your growing adventures!
