looks good, though stretchy. I'd recommend more light asap if you want the weight to be worth the wait. How far away are the lights from the plant? If you're not familiar with "the inverse square law for light" then basically, if the light is moved 50% of the distance from the plant, The plant is only getting 25% of the light it was getting before. What "array" of wattages are you using? with CFLs you want the highest wattage you can find.


What nutrients did you use when you fed and how much did you use and in how many gallons of water? what kind of soil? It's definitely better to err on the side of caution, in soil (not hydro) no nutes are better than too many, IMO.
I would say you're looking at 8 weeks from today. I know info you look up on blue dream might say it flowers in 8 weeks, which makes it seem like you only have 6 left but I've seen and heard that for a lot of strains, the flowering time stopwatch actually starts at about the time plants start to LOOK like they're in flower, which is about now for you. Also keep in mind that under CFLs most people report a slightly longer flowering time than under HID or LED. So you could have 8-9 weeks left.

the leaves look perfectly fine and happy to me though. I'm guessing you're working on a pretty narrow budget, So I've got two recommendations-

If you're playing the paycheck-to-paycheck game I'd say to buy one or two CFLs a week, make sure they're 26 watts or more. spending 5 bucks on a 26 watt CFL is better than spending 8 bucks on two 15 watt CFLs because you'll get better penetration. If you really don't have enough money to spend 5-10$ a week on CFLs, you should probably quit your job and get one where you can make tips or something. here's the ideal bulb for that http://growershouse.com/dayspot-cfl-32w-65k-equivalent-to-150w

If you have a little room where you could splurge on something (you're using a computer or cell phone to read this, why haven't you pawned it yet?) then for less than $100 you could go on craigslist and buy a high pressure sodium fixture, or grab a 125 watt CFL with a reflector here: http://growershouse.com/system-comp-fluorescent-125w-day
or actually, you can get a 150 watt hps system here, which will be better than the above link (as long as your temps don't get too high)-http://growershouse.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/200x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/s/b/sbmm150s_1.jpg

If you can spend barely more than 100, either this- http://growershouse.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/200x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/f/l/flco200d_hydrofarm_fluorescent_fixture.jpg

or here's a 400watt, you'll love the results if you can take the heat http://growershouse.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/200x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/e/c/econo400w.jpg


Edit: by the way, I'm sorry I accidentally listed a bunch of jpgs instead of product websites, but if you can't find those products, then you should probably kill yourself.

Hi Jenny,

Great Job! She looks healthy and vibrant. You obviously possess a talent for growing because you are doing pretty well. With better equipment and a bit more knowledge, you should have no problems.

I am sure you understand you are not going to yield much more than a couple of grams dry on this grow (if that much). But, at least you got some experience.

Keep Growing and you will discover it is as much (if not more) fun growing as it is smoking. And there is no better buzz than from your own budz!

Bend the plant over look into super cropping that will help you achieve a lower plant, or lst that will work just as well and a few grams is a small amount like you'd get from smaller dealers

...not on a budget ..dont let the tape in my box fool you .lol.....just experimenting with what can be achieved with as little $as possible not trying to win the cannabis cup or anything just personel enjoyment ...I've got 5 cfl... 3 inches from plant .....all the time till she touches almost ..fed with ...miracle grow lol...yes ....1/4 strength in 1 gallon water.... 2 cfl hanging to the sides of her.... cfl are at or above wattage needed..recommended. .it's even been cold here in Texas last couple weeks... didn't slow her down I hoped it would though ... ....I don't think killing myself is needed I'm well aware of lights available just don't think it's needed for 1 plant at a time .......

There's the thing your not going to get a great deal under your current lighting, plus there isn't enough plant to support half a oz let alone 1 or 2 oz. Cash in= bud out, you said your not on a budget so why don't you go get yourself some decent lighting and a tent or something and grow a few plants to their full potential, don't wanna be the bearer of bad news but for all the time, effort and money spent so far you should of just stuck to buying it you'd get more for your money. That's my thoughts anyway good luck

More light and lst will help with yield. With CFLs, adjusting the lights will be almost daily, but ensuring they're close and being reflected is also beneficial. Good luck and happy growing.

I've spent 25 $on lights ..nutes..timer..ph meter ..cords were owned before grow.. I'm not worried if it's less than an oz.... all in good fun ...will look into tent ..sounds interesting..thx ....I'll step it up on the next go around ......this is my first time trying to grow anything.... I doubt any of you had mind boggling amounts of nug on your first attempts. U may now through trial and error and learning .....but not your first couple .did you ?...or how was your first grows......it's a learning process and it's been fun I'll keep moving forward and developing don't worry I'm aware my set up isn't optimal ........now where is that tent sold at.....google wake up
