First Grow, what you guys think?

Hey guys, This is my first ever grow. Its just a small personal plant ill be enjoying.

..just some basic infoz.
Im beginning the 4th week of flowering today. ive currently got my lady under a 150W HPS and i vegged under 6500k CFLs for about 3 weeks, i got the seed from a buddy who also has a medical garden, didnt tell me the strain just that it was a sativa?
Anywho how does she look? its not bushy at all which doesnt bother me its my first attempt at this. any tips/ suggestions for my next grow? or even for this one?

also i forgot to say that its a GH waterfarm with flora nutes

I think you need to lower the HPS, they are severly stretching, what's the distance between the top of the largest plant and the hps bulb?

Also raise the smaller one up to the same level as the larger one.

the light is maybe 1 foot or so from the top of the plant, but it used to be further away until i moved it a bit closer. the hydroponics store i bought everything from told me that i needed to have the HPS at least like 2 FT away from the plant but that doesnt seem right to me, so i moved it closer. maybe thats why it didnt get very bushy. and thanks i will move the other one closer.

I just got done telling another fellow grower this: Shops don't HELP at all!!
The main reason they talk so much, is information they get from others mouths. They don't grow shit!!


And keep in mind that once the flowering starts the plant with double, sometimes triple in height. I would tie it down. Looks hella good man

thanks for the replies guys, i have since moved the smaller plant into a seperate vegging room under 6500ks cfls along with 2 new baby sprouts. =D

(i flowered the small plant to check the sex, and its a female! bingo

Those who can, do. Those who cant, work in the hydro store.

LOL. its actually a funny story cuz when i went into the hydro store they were telling me not to listen to people on forums like this. But its obvious who knows what theyre talking about.

What's the address to this shop? And whats the name of the individual that said that?............ Just curious

I got horrible advice from forums just as well, people trying to be interesting or just helpful...

Anyway, that 2 foot would have been close enough if it were a 600 watt hps bulb (20" if the plants can take it, and depending on ventilation). With 400 watt I use a distance of roughly 15-16inches. It's good to start higher for a day or two when you move (translamp?) them to HPS though.

And I agree with Ganjapussy, I'd tie it down - all over and across the space.
