Another 3 weeks and then flush?

[KushDreams87]

why is she so slender is it CFL ?

yea she is I didn't keep a fan on her when she was younger

i'd say you have 25-30 days to go, maybe more, depends on the strain. Some finish fairly quick.
Early September sounds about right, but you need the PLANT to tell you, not us forum-monkeys

yea im in no hurry so ill see where shes at 30 days from now lol I didn't realize the flush was such a touchy subject

that would not do it ^^

she reminds me of a indoor plant folk would grow back in the late 80s early 90s
most plants looked kinda skinny like that with poor internode spacing because of limited lighting

she looks healthy in your pics, but she has not developed much branching or many leaves
this could be for lots of reasons

she was not vegged for very long or did not have enough root space while growing or had limited light
or a combination of these things it makes the plant grow more to a central cola rather than branching out

what light do you have on her ?

don't worry about it, it's just perpetually covered, the people that spend significant time on here get annoyed by it, I presume. More so because the plants really do turn out much nicer if fed correctly during flowering and I think a lot of seasoned growers see the travesty in it. Don't misred me, i'm not one of those guys that feeds until the last day, I prefer a heavily fortified organic soil, using TONS of mycho every transplant (secret weapon) and feeding with simple microbe teas, the plant and herb turns out beautiful and it green until about 10 days before harvest, I think what a lot of growers fail to realize is EVERY strain has it's preferences, some can be fed throughout and have no residual effects, but a light-feeding sativa for instance, you feed it the same as a beefy indica, and you'll burn the crap out of it, for me, the key was first finding a great "keeper", and then learning what she likes, to get the optimal results from her.
hmmm sorta like my girlfriend, now that I think about it...I digress.
I don't feed all my plants the same, over the years I've learned that I should fortify my bluedream's soil differently than my jack herer, than my grapegod, etc. You learn what the plants do better with, I know many may call BS, but I don't mind, it sure as hell looks like it's working to me.
For example, my jack herer is a light feeder, It does better with lighter ratio's of it's food derived from manure, (even if composted extra time) I usually use alpaca and rabbit manure, but the jack doesn't do as well with those, it likes more worm castings, fish bone meal, alfalfa meal, and bat guano.
BUT the bluedream LOVES the extra manures, it sucks it up and asks for more, and so does the grapegod, these are just examples, point of this ramble is...
Learn your ladies.

yea my lighting is the main issue I ran into some financial problems so at the moment I only have two 3 ft t5s one 120 cfl bulb also I just recently threw a lower watt near the bottom because the stretch was so bad I wanted to make sure the lower part was getting a little bit of light so lighting has been a issue also I didn't get to veg for as long as I wanted to I only vegd 30 days with very minor LST but I did cut clones and they are growing nicely so I will try different things this is my 1st grow so experiment so to say lol also shes only in a 3 gallon pot her sister is the leafy bushy one the growing diff between the 2 is crazy

sounds about right, for a newbie its still a good effort/grow, once you fine tune/upgrade your system get a more powerful light
bigger pots etc, im sure you will do well and your yield will increase a fair bit

30 days is ok for veg depending on strain ofcourse plants can get still end up large
its mainly the lack of light and the smaller pots
as it is your plant has a nice colour and nice looking texture to the leaves looks nice and healthy


peace
