Plant looks good .... BUT she WILL Need more light as your grow moves forward.

Is this strain an auto or regular ?

She will double / triple in size as grow moves thru the weeks. You need to plan for that.

its a regular bag seed im planing to build a grow box for it i wish i can find a grow tent thats under 40$ thanks for the reply
 
Building a decent cabinet may out price a simple tent from amazon ... I bought a 3x3 with metal poles ( what you want ) for like $60. Free ship too.


Look into topping your plant and later LST to control lateral branching.
And most importantly watch this bagseed plant as most are weak genetics and sometimes just hermie out. Sometimes you get good ones and bad ones.

Bagseed is never a good start

as in reality you don't know what to expect

buying in seed you get some idea from the marketing blurb

on how it looks and behaves during its growth

start adding one cfl per week up to when you flip

so the plant grows even keeps chasing that light

to my blog on members cfl arrays

good luck

ps time to potup soon?
 
Cant tell but did you top it ?


If you did .... i would keep her vertical and allow the mid branching to grow out , then as they stretch out LST them. Plant will keep it symmetrical in shape , instead of wrenching it to one side.

@vostock hit it on the head with adding more BULBS - your plant will thank you.
Bulbs are a dime a dozen ( i got mine at Home Depot and 99¢ store )

You have a nice plant there and , i would not at least give her all you can. It is true bag seed is usually unknown in what the outcome is , but it will hone your growing skills .

Small stick like bamboo skewr. Plus try not to keep messing with her. Let her just set up her natural structure. THEN you can slowly introduce lst. As she gets older she will not be as flexible and you can actually snap her stalk.
