So I checked my plants this morning to see how they were doing after the catastrophe that happened yesterday and they seem to be going back to.normal they arnt drooping anymore I had previously over watering them so I'm waiting for it to dry out a bit as well

It's not....Preflowering is when the plant gets that structure like its doing now...it is about to start pushing pistils but I wouldn't call it flower phase until it does....when you see actual white pistils emerging from the nodal areas then MAYBE in 70 days it will be done but I'm trying to show you how to determine your harvest window. You've got to see the color of the trichome heads to determine ripeness but you can estimate your plants will be close to finishing at 65 days or more if its an Indica or hybrid; most sativas take longer to ripen. Don't aim for anything let the plants tell you when they are done.
So your implying my plants are female? by saying the white pistils will start soon

Thought you didn't want to hear how HPS & MH are better for flowering? Look into getting a T5 or even just a couple of cheapo shop lights. Full spectrum flourescents are overlooked but you can flower with them; just gotta keep em small

Yes that's why I suggest using something else...won't be enough to produce a result you will be happy with but go ahead start another thread; eventually you will realize you need to invest in lighting

You even said you broke your plant on two occasions already. If you really want tips, find the CFL subforums where people always grow with CFLs to get the best advice. I'd say most growers don't even bother with the kind of growing you have so the help will be limited to
  • don't over water
  • don't over feed
  • for under $20 budget, get a set of 6 pack of CFLs from Lowes for like $11 that will turn this thing into at least a half ounce
You learn to grow by actually growing something worth growing and there are methods and techniques that work for some that may work for you too. By arguing with people and saying you won't listen to them or that your way is right you end up wasting your time.

I answered your original question by writing how you should try to position your bulbs to maximize growth. I'm not telling you to buy anything, I thought you said you have $20 so I gave a suggestion for the bulbs. I didn't realize you meant your cost was under $20 already. You can expect your plant to start showing you the sex in the next two weeks or so. You can post up another pic in the next week and maybe someone can help you out. I really do wish you well in your grow

Thanks for playing , thread closed, user banned, dont talk to our members like that
but for the record, just because this person decides to attack others and break rules doesnt give the rest of you the "free" chance to do so.

you guys actually enjoy your accounts here, so follow the rules, ignore the people who choose to have attitude problems and hit report rather than ruining your own accounts by breaking rules as well.
