Cfl closet grow sativa *poor man*

Mutant seems to have converted to a mini/bonsai plant, its growing only tiny leaves now, and has about 8 potential budsites( it showed it was female before the mirror broke it )

I think my "runt" is beginning to show the beginning signs of budding. what do you think?

dos look like a she, very long pistils there imho

I know its a she, i'm just wondering if its still in pre-flower or if its budding now. I want to use open sesame on it, so i want to be sure.
yea the pistols just keep growing longer, idk if its a characteristic of sativa plants

i'd say it's in flower/bud - but with sativa, it may take its time to form buds - you can only wait and hope it will pick up speed

yes, its in flowering and like growone said . sativa take longer to bud, as long as you keep it alive for the next few weeks , and how much nutes do you give it looks too much

How much did the light cost you? Can you put it a regular outlet. I was going to upgrade my light.

which light? i"m using 3 different brands...

The ones in picture 26, looks like a bunch of 23w cfls. I wanted to know how many and which W's.

• Lights - 1x85watt(5500k) 2x65watt(2700k) 2x105watt(2700k) total: 425watts actual cfl​

I got these rather than waste time with several low watt clfs which would each need more outlets/adapters and too much fidgiting = more money

So I closed my closet door(which i leave open for ventilation) because my girlfriend complained the that light from it was bugging her. I woke up to a burned main tip which would have been the main cola on one of my plants. now i'm down to only one plant that isn't abused/broken/burned/mutant.

burned tip - don't sweat it, won't amount to much in the end, new growth will take its place
this is how cfl grows go, plants stretching into a cfl is going to happen if you keep the cfl's as close as possible
it's still worth it because you get much better buds with the cfl's up tight

well that is comforting to hear, thanks. Hard not to feel like an idiot, I had the luck of 80% females on bagseed, and still managed to mess it up pretty bad :/ . But yes after burning so much of my plant, i'm seriously begininning to doubt if its worth it to keep cfls so close.

This sneaky tranny almost ruined everything. but it looks like i caught it just in time.
I only removed the offending branches though, hope nothing bad happens...

So i'm really confused at this point. after weeks of flowering under sunlight/400watts of cfl, here's all I have to show:
THe fan leaves are crumbling and turning yellow, BUT STILL NO FUCKING BUDDING ACTION! just pistols and pistols ..
i'm pretty worried. not gonna lie

hey dude. pretty sweet looking plants. my first grow was cfl and didnt get a fantastic yeild so if i was u i would get them in that sunlight as much as possible and im sure they will thank u in the form of lots of weed. peace

did your plants take forever to bud too? ive had pistols for a month now. i cant imagine that it would take foerver to bud AND have low yield too. thats just double fucked

oh just noticed u said u had 400w of cfl, thats more than i had. i had 30w cfl and and unknown strain of plant and i ended up getting a measly 9 grams lol. im not an expert but dont worry about the pistils as the plants really fatten up towards the end of flower.

yes they took about 2 months but it was just 1 plant and im pretty sure it turneed hermie. just keep em under that sunlight and im sure u will get more. maybe use a small amount of mollasses. never tried it but im gonna use it on my new grow. your 1st grow should be about getting experience and next time round im sure u will get better results. genetics play a big part in yeild too
