Ive been growing a Grand daddy purple plant for about 4 to 5 months now, its in the budding stage now and looking great, I have a couple concerns tho, I am thinking that the stock is way to skinny and im not sure why, plant has been in budding for about 5 weeks, I was wondering how much longer until they are ready for harvest. Pics included.

Thanks for the answers guy's this is the most helpful site I've found.

Thats what ive heard, I am getting more light soon but i was positive i got enough lights all around, maybe just not close enough to the light?

honestly I am a new grower so I have a bunch of different lighting, Ive got two long florescent light bulbs that look like T5s but not sure, 1 medium size florescent, and 4 lights so equal all together i think its about 450 watts.(please forgive me if i sound like a re-tard but I'm learning all my stuff on lights, practice makes perfect right haha)

yeah i agree your plants are really small for 5 months lighting does seem to be the problem it seems your walls could be sucking some of the light you need white or mylar works well too

well i would go with a 400 watt hps and it will have enough room for about 8 plants and you can use them from start to finish. it will cost 200+ for the light ballast and hood.

well your plants look ok but for the light issues so i'd say you did ok the first time you didn't drown or over feed them.
