On mondays i overwater it. It looks like its picking back up from a couple of days ago. Its only 12 1/4 inches tall and 47 days old! But i only used a fish tank light and a 14w cfl for like 20 of those days then i got 3 23w equivalent too 100w 1600 lumens 5600k and thats what i switched too. Is it small cause of the little lighting i been using!? Sunday i topped it and got 3 more of the 23w "100w" lights so i got 6 in total. The first pic is monday night after overwatering in the morning. And the rest is from today.

It certainly isnt dead,just a little stressed from the over watering and should rebound. It is small for 7 weeks. It's good that you got some more lights in there, for the future you would probably have better results with just a 150 watt hps bulb. They make ones with a ballast built in so all you have to do is plug it in.

You have some holes drilled in the bottom of the bucket for drainage right?

I will only need 1 of those hps for the whole plant life. And i was going to start flowering in 2 weeks what do u think? Or should i let it veg longer i just want a decent yeild and fuller plant.

Yeah you can use hps bulbs the whole way through. As far as flowering..if the plant seems ok and starts putting out new growth Id go ahead and switch to flower. I havent used cfls before but I think you wanna keep the plants fairly compact since the light doesnt penetrate very far with them.

Ya i had them about 2 1/2 inches away but some one told me to pull them back about 4 in for recovery. But ya thanks for the info im looking online now for a hps now.

And just remember you want HEALTHY girls before you flip, flipping with unhealthy girls will just start causing you problems at the onset of flowering.


But what the hell do I know I am just a stoner
