Hello everyone.
First off congrats to everyone who has completed a successful grow.

Now more importantly,

i have a 50 day old indica plant that i just started LST on. Ive posted some pics below so before you ask.
Im wondering first off how bad is this f**ker going to smell?
Next, How well am i doing lol (sounds egotistical but a good word never hurts)
I dont have a ph tester i know all of you will probably tell me i need to get one but i think im just going to feel this one and see how dank i can get it from the energies we share together.
and finally, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT I CAN EXPECT FROM THE LOOKS OF THIS PLANT. WHY DOES SHE ONLY HAVE THREE BLADES PER LEAF SET??????




thank you.....that is all.



"every last bit and byte i type is all a bunch of hype.( **I'M LYING** NONE OF THIS IS REAL. PURELY FOR MY ENTERTAINMENT AND STEREOTYPICAL STUDIES OF STONERS")

Its not bush because i think you need more light and it looks stretched out too. And jesus man if that is 50 days old then you definatly need more light... what have you got her under???

One is a reptile UVB light the other is a 20w Flouro and the other two are a 150w Daylight spectrum bulb for reptiles and an incandescent 150w grow(6400k) light bought from a gardening shop.

all in total about 500w of light two flouros and two bulbs. about 10 to 15 inches away

That plant is really tiny for 50 days.. the plants in the avi are 27 days and indica's(under 230W of CFL's).. this is how they should look.

Looks like you need a lot more light in your grow room, or a closer light and more enclosed space.

Not being funny with ya mate but in answer to your question " how well am i doing? " To be brutally honest with you, 50 days from seed, it should be megga. And a little bit of research would have shown you this... You get 3 out of 10 lol and thats only becuse you have managed to keep her alive for 50 days....

ph dont worry about your ph. that to me is totaly over rated. if it is like 8 ya worry but if you check your tap water and its anywhere near 7 witch almost all are do try to lower it 7 is fine. if you check your ph 3 different times aday it will give you 3 different reading. ph fluxes as the plant uses didferent minerals through out the day and even when its lights out. my best advice is to just use tap water untill you have troubles and then worry about the rest. when you start a seed from seed it only knows what you gave it. so it will grow just fine if you do it from the start. lets say you got a clone from your buddy and he is growing with a ph of 5 and then you go try and use your tap on it at 7. then you might have some troubles but if you just started your grow and its your first just use everything as it is and as you gain experience then you can try other methoids and change your ph

The one thing I notice immediately is the area you are growing in does not reflect light well at all, all that wood color simply absorbs light you want getting to your plant. Either paint it mat white or line it with something.

Secondly the intensity of the light from a florescent light drops off very significantly with distance so you want to keep them as close to your plant as you can - like 2-4", not 15, you should keep the incandescent either far away or just get rid of it as it gets balls hot(and causes a good bit of stretch in my experience with them). What are the dimensions of the space? Do you have any kind of reflectors on the lights - if not again your loosing a lot of the wattage.

1) scrap the incandecent grow bulb. Those things are useless.

2) whatever fluoros and CFLs you have need to be much closer.

3) you might want to just scrap that plant. Not to be rude, but it looks horrible for 50 days. I've seen 2 week old seedlings with more growth than that. Anyone telling you it looks ok is just trying to be polite and actually doing you a disservice. Go back to the drawing board with what you've learned from this experience and start fresh with more information. I'm not claiming to be god's gift to growing (my first attempt looked similar to that), but I think you may have missed the boat on this one man.
