..thanks for the compliment, tech209 and Ganga89.

Umm... Im not sure what are these. I guess these are called "calyxes" or something. Pre-flowers will come out from there... am I right? Help me with it please.

By the way.. till now I've been using very poor lights

. Finally I decided to buy a 400W HPS lamp somewhere in the next week. I Hope it helps my plant to grow like 5 times faster

...also good for flowering

.
Does my plant have any potency to get a nice yield if I continue growing with this HPS lamp? (and if its female ofcourse..)
I have about 4.5 feets free space in height.

Bruno, i will fully admit, when i first read your diary I was a bit sceptical, but with every update, its looking nicer & nicer. Will definately be keeping track on this. Nice to see you're going for a good lighting option. 400w HPS is a good choice. In respect to gaining a nice yield, there's many different factors to consider. First of all, consider switching to a PURE bloom nutriet solution for when the plant enters flowering. This will help in the plant in producing some phat buds. If you have 4.5 ft in height, you could veg for a bit longer, but I am no expert in extended vegging periods. Hopefully someone else can either make an addition or you should be able to read up on it. If you can, maybe introduce some sort of ventilation. This can lead to strengthening of the stems which in turn will contribute to better/more budding. Other than that, just keep givin the little baby nothing but pure TLC and mother nature WILL reward you.

just popped into my head. One of my mates is introducing lights further down the plant to induce even budding all over. He is doing this ALL with CFL but if you did this with another HPS, you MUST sort out temp regulation as well as air circulation. Happy growing dude

this is a good decision man.you should do that from the beginning.the plant is also streched.you can also repot in a much larger pot and bury the stem to the first set of leafs imo.it must be a bit larger pot because it's very strechet.next time deffinatly put more lights one inch from the top of the plants and you will not have the streching problem.....peace!!!

thanks for the comments guys

Firstly. Certainly I will buy fertilizer for flowering..that should be something like 5-15-15. Mabey I will buy better ferts for vegging too. Something like 20-5-5 goes well.
And about that ventilation thing, I will buy 2 more vents in there. Temperature aint the problem.

My plant will double or even triple in height after putting it to 12/12. So Im gonna put it in to the flowering stage after it has reached the 2 feets.

And cheetah, I guess Im gonna do what u said.. u sure it wont do any harm to the stem?.. and why is it helpful? Will it take new roots upper?

waiting for some more thoughts

it's helpful, coz the buds will be heavy and the whole plant may fall over dunno maybe even crush the stem.atleast support it with something.it want harm the stem man.and no, no new roots upper.the new pot should be preaty big.there must be place for the roots to go down and to bury the stem
