Opinions on plant.... Health? How old? Is it worth the grow? What can I do different for next crop?.....

[WeedGameGod]

Just need opinions on this grow. First time growing. Been in flowering since March 24th. Using sugar bloom flowering nutrients at the moment. Using florescent lights.

Looks healthy but why are you keeping your floros at the side, why don’t you hang them above the plant and keep it at 3-5”?

 

[WeedGameGod]

Unfortunately in my room the location where it's at there's not enough pace to hang the florescent light. To be honest I'm not sure what strain it is so have no idea of when to harvest .... Or how much longer she will be flowering. I found the seed in a dispensary flower I had got and just wanted to see if it would grow or not and what the result would be.

 

[crimsonecho]

You are wasting majority of the light in this setup. The more you give, the more you’ll get in the end. Of course up to a point. So hanging them from above would give you bigger and tastier buds.

Will keep that in mind on my next crop. For now I'ma keep her growing how she's been and hope that I don't crop early or late. Thanks.

Its got a long way to the finish line. From the looks of it more than a month. You say its been flowering for 2 months? Maybe the lack of proper lighting is causing that. I have never encountered such slow flowering.

Get yourself a loop so you can check the trichomes, that will tell you when it's finished... This one is just three/four days overdone (harvested long ago)...

Maybe hang the flourescent lamp over and to the side of the plant on an angle closer to it?

No point in doing that til the flowers finish growing.

Absolutely, didn't mean to infer that the plant was done, but with progress as sluggish as mentioned, it's unclear how long into the future that finished or completed state will occur...

Id trash those lights and get an hps if you want to see results.

Yea if only stuff was free

I assumed you had some cash with a name like weedgamegod, mybad. Even a 2x2 t5 would be better then what you have there. I bet my bottom dollar they are under $100.

If money is tight, a DIY with some full spectrum Cob LEDs will fix you up for less than $10/light, and you will have a lot better results. Once your buds fully frow and dry, they will still be pretty light and airy. Fluorescent bulbs are almost impossible to grow decently with, In my opinion. I tried for years until an old hippie showed me how to do it with a MH, and things improved 500% or more. Seriously. Side lighting is great, but you need to have overhead lighting too. I don't want to be mean, but you aren't going to see much once things get dried. I understand this was something that just happened unplanned, but if you have any type of mechanical ability, new cobs are available that don't require drivers or anything...just hook up to 110V and enjoy your lights... just make sure to get a decent heatsink and fan to help dissipate the heat. In a pinch, on Amazon you can get a cheap Blurple LED grow light for around $30, which would be great for your setup. Good luck and keep up the good work!

I'm just looking for ideas for my next grow I just wanted to see what this seed would do and Ive just been letting it grow.

If you are building a house, a small 10 x 10 room would come in handy. Add electric, water, and you are ready for the world!! :cool:
