She got burned by the lights, but yes she is kind of tied down. The 2 longest kolas wouldn't stay tied down so I gave up.

shit I think it looks pretty good for a cfl grow. Good canopy. How many cfl bubs and watts you got? Maybe you could find a few windshield sun shields to put on the walls to help since your light is your biggest deficiency.

4 40w cfl bulbs. That would probably work better, I've been using tin foil on my walls.

do you have any kind of reflector on them? If not, i would youtube diy cfl reflectors... light spread and light penetration, canopy spread and evenness... I most def agree next time to start lst soon as possible. You need a plant 3 feet wide and 30 inches tall... for your space and requirements. shape it to your area by building you a lil mini scrog, fill it with tops and flip when its 75% full... your next run of course. I would prob go with a $100 cheap led with only the space that you have to work with. little circular fan and call it a day.. you could grow one of my plants in there and prob pull 2 ounces scrogged out right with a cheap led...

I used to have some foil to direct the lights but it got way too hot so I took them off. I do agree that I did LST way too late, but I wasn't planning on doing it. She was just getting too big so I had to do something. Sadly I'm not sure there will be a next time. I don't have any seeds and I don't know where to get any.

I'm a little behind with posting, but she's almost done with week 5.
IMO the buds are looking pretty small for almost 6 weeks in the flowering stage.

I totally messed up the time. She's been switched over for almost 6 weeks but she has only been forming buds for a month tomorrow. Whoops. But anyways, good luck on your grow :)

You still got some size to come, but without a doubt, I'm sure your light is playing a part in that.
