If your leaves are gradually going yellow its prob magnesium deficiency. The buds should get bigger in the next few weeks

Wow, that plant looks like shit. Can you give us some more detailed information about your operation? Specifically, what is your temp and humidity? What are you using as your water source? How about the pH of your water? What brand of nutes are you using, and at what strength and frequency? As you mentioned, this plant has not been given nearly enough light, hence the awful stretching and wispy popcorn buds. If you don't fix that issue right away, the plant doesn't stand a chance of producing quality buds. Nice, dense, resinous buds require sufficiently intense light in order to develop. If the light situation stays as it is, then you're probably looking at the best it's going be. Also, like some ofthe others have mentioned, get rid of that aluminum foil. It is completely inappropriate for use as a reflective material. It creates hot-spots that will burn your plant, has the potential to contaminate your grow medium, and isn't actually very good at reflecting useable light back onto the plant. Basically, it's doing more harm than good. If you can't get your hands on some Mylar or Panda Film, then put up some temporary wall structures around the plant and paint them flat-white with latex paint. All of those options are better than aluminum foil. Get us some of that other information I asked you for and we'll see what can be done to salvage your crop.

well its growing out of an aerogarden i found....ph is about 7 and i'm using aerogarden nutes(cherry tomato) dilluted a bit and i just grabbed some 10-52-10 and molasses to supplement flowering....lighting is 3 42w 2 23w cfls and an aerogarden hood with whatever their two lights are and a two foot fluor ...i actually just flushed the resevoir today for the first time....the alumminum foil is a recent addition...i have no funds and this was done with a seed i found on my friends coffee table....no job and its been hard to find one--but any help for this poor plant would be greatly appreciated--its been fun and a learning experiance..when i have a little more funds i'll try again and maybe try some soil...i put one nute tab in every week or so and refill the resevoir with tap water every so often sometimes with a little extra diluted fertilizer...the temp has gotten hotter since i put the tin foil up...low 80's tops....hardly any humidity...i let the tap water sit out to evaporate chlorine...i accidently put the ph test chemical in it once, had a brain fart and poured the water back in after i tested it....i've been pretty damn hap hazard...but for the most part its been healthy, just not well grown...i went on a trip for a few days and when i came back it grew three male flowers, light poisoning, but i picked em off and they haven't came back...they had dropped pollen already however...a VERY ghetto grow....and ironically enough i had a seedling in a solo cup the same age as this tall girl but its still seedling size but i recently put it in a bigger pot and it is growing one bud on top but has no other flowers..male or female.......lot of bullshit i know but i appreciate the help
