Beginners Luck! Day 40 Flower First Grow

[BG033]

Hey everyone!
This is my very first plant and I'm so happy with the results so far. I found a pretty good looking seed in a bag of gelato and decided to try and grow it. After its seedling stage I realized that this could have a lot of potential so I got a small tent and the most basics. I started with a 32 w LED and when it reached the flowering stage I added 2 more lights with a total of 172 w from the wall (thanks to reading more on this board). Anyways, just wanted to share and join the community because this is my new addiction! Thanks to all you guys for helping me out with this...

3 gallon pot FFOF (plant is 3 ft. tall)
Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom for nutes
41"x 57"x 71" tent
Vivosun carbon filter

I will post updates!

how much did it stretch? after the 12/12?

how much did it stretch? after the 12/12?

It doubled in height from the start of 12/12. I think a big factor for me was beefing up the lights though.

Mine popped Nov. 28. I didn't veg long because I was scared it would reach the top of my tent. I think I got a better idea of what to expect now haha.
