Nice!!!! So im assuming if i veg another 3 weeks mine will end up pretty tall. Are you doing any lsting? Ive got both of mine wrapping around the rim of the planter to try to avoid too much hieght and to let the lower leaves get aspossible light as possible.

The big growth happens the first two weeks of flower. They will get between 1 1/2 to 3 times the size.
I usually go 6 weeks in veg but this bunch really likes their soil mix. So I had to flip em otherwise I would've not had the room.
I usually top 2-3 times when young. Have done some LSTing but not with these.
Switching to organic was the best move I ever made. Very low stress, lol.
But your plants look better than my first ones! I made every mistake possible. But I never lost one. I had one that got attacked by cats and ants. Had only half a leaf left. Was one of my best producers in the end.
First you learn to grow, then learn to grow better. I learn more everyday!
Smokin your own is a very rewarding payoff!

Nice looking plants you got there Bud!!! How do you go about making organic soil? Also why did you choose to do you flowering completely inside? Do you lst, fim or top? Please let me know all the mistakes you've noticed. Im open to suggestions bro.

Despite all the warnings you're getting there is NOTHING inherently wrong or bad about what you are doing. The only risk is bug infestations - but every outside grower has to face that. You are doing it in a sensible manner and the CFL is keeping them in Veg state, while the strong sunlight is giving them plenty of energy for growth. It is not in anyway "confusing" to a plant as they are evolved to grow in light that varies throughout the day, as well as from day to day. Keep doing what you are doing, its obviously working. When you are ready to flower, instead of doing it under CFLs as suggested above , I would continue to set it outside from morning until afternoon, just make sure you bring it inside and place it in a completely dark room for at least twelve hours a day.

Thanks appreciate it. Took a lot of practice to get it this way lol. I was mostly a gorilla grower and an outside grower before i started looking into inside growing and what i would need to do so, plus i also got tired of running all over god green earth to remember where i planted things...lol. I decided to flower in the inside cause i had better control, and i could keep a closer eye on them, plus the plant had more of a stable enviroment. Organic soil's, honestly thats a test and tune thing, i honestly started out using a selection of crappy organic soil from walmart and then added the soil that around the area, after that i added the extras i like to call them aka organic nutes, for me i keep re-using my soils, so they honestly get better and better over time. i Don't lst, fim or top, which in some cases i wish i did, but in other ways you want the plant as mother intended. I made alot of mistake when i first started, don't think i can honestly think of them all right now, but boy did i make them, yu will too just takes time

I started with Fox Farm nutes in promix. I always had an issue with ppm's being too much. I always went with half of the recommended amount with cal/mag additive. I also had a bad problem with lockout with the Fox Farm.

you know i don't even use nutes in my grows. I just use the soil, and i re-use the soil after i'm done too. Knock on wood of course. But if a grower can make his soil top notch, in most cases you shouldn't need it, but everyone is different

I started off using ProMix. That combo is what I was taught with. I switched to coco with Canna Nutes indoors. But what you're talking about is exactly what I'm looking for for my greenhouse this summer. I would much rather water with maybe an occasional feeding, instead of worrying about mixing food all summer.
