this is my first grow, ive read alot but since i have no personal experiance i was wondering what you guys thought of my plant, like how it seems to be healthy, what it might yield when it is done flowering, and if i should switch it to 12/12???

Thanks for the help

Looks healthy, pretty far node spacing though. You can switch to 12/12 whenever you feel you want to. Would really depend on how much space you have and how big you want your plant to get, but it appears like you just wanted the main stalk to flower.

Cannot give you an estimate on how much you will yield because there are a lot of factors that go into it. Flowering time usually ranges from 6 to 9 weeks depending on strain. Could end up being even longer than that, depending on the ripeness of the buds. Good luck and get the light closer to that plant.

you might wanna super crop it then top it a time or too before 12/12 to get more main bud sites on them girls the way you have them now youll have 1 main bud site on them

If it were me..I would top it and supercrop it for sure...give it another week or two to veg
what kind of lighting are you using? it seems kind of weak...

not sure of the strains, got some seeds from medical plants in orgeon, and she's in probably about a one gallon pot, in some hyponex potting soil, and i was told to try some miracle grow liquid plant food, so ive been mixing that with the water. dont know if it makes a difference but i water it from the bottom, if that makes sense

yea i definitely want to expand the bud sites, i was wanting a shorter bushier plant but i hadnt stumbled upon this site untill now

Like seerock said try & get more lighting if possible. Your plant is streching a bit but should do fine.

Looks healthy so far, and it looks like a sativa dom strain (IMO) with those stretchy nodes, but ya transplant into bigger pot and get the light closer, and I would wait till it has at least 7 fingers on the leaves to switch to 12/12...good luck

EDIT: And put a fan blowing on her, it will fatten and strengthen the stalk so you don't have to use a stick for support..

fatten up the stalk with Potassium, a fan and more light

I use potassium silicate... but I add it to the soil as a seedling...

what kind of light is she getting?
she needs MORE!!!

My advise:

-top her
-replant and add some potassium to the soil to encourage cell wall growth.
-get a fan
-either get better lighting or move your current light source closer...

are you using a feeding schedule?

Well I topped her earlier
Where can I find potassium suitable for these plants?
And I will definitely be getting a fan an I moved the light a lot closer like within 4 or 5 inches.
And no a feeding schedule is something I haven't really heard much about

If from seed i'd switch to 12/12 right now to sex it. If it's a female put it back in veg for a couple more weeks with a fan running to fatten up that stem. Good luck!

Usually within a week. Don't wait, you might as well know sooner than later. And someone earlier mentioned transplanting it. Don't do it. That plant is 2-3 weeks away from needing transplanting.
