First cfl closet grow! Bag seed...what do you think?

This is my first grow. My buddy gave me a seed out of his bag and I thought why not. I vegged for about a month and some days using age old organics nutrients. I also did some lst on it. My plant is 3 weeks into flower and turned out to be a female. It seems like it has stretched a lot during flowering but looks pretty good to me. I have 7-26w cfls going right now. All of them are 2700k except for one is 6500k. Just wanted to know what you guys thought about it. Any advice would help.

looks like a healthy plant a little to stretched for my liking but non the less a happy healthy plant good job

oh and welcome

Thanks man. I thought the stretch was a little much. Just learning from my mistakes.

It's stretching so much because it's the wrong light for flowering. Plants grow tall and lengthy when not receiving adequate lighting. Would be much better with a hps or led light

Looks very healthy other than that. Nice job on thw bag seeds

Thanks. Im just trying to get the feel for it. My next grow will be with HID lighting for sure.

How close do you keep the cfls to her ?

I keep them within 2 inches. its a struggle moving them everyday.

Yeah but it worth it. I was constantly moving mine daily in return for optimum light power. And they loved every minute of it
The stretching isn't ideal but honestly have seen much worse situations. Just keep in mind for next time the types of lighting you will need for flowering stage.
Btw plants are looking nice and green for your first time growing. Keep up the good work

Thanks man greatly appreciated. I have so many more things I'm going to do next grow.

Looks really good. Healthy, gonna give you nice buds mate!

UPDATE!!!!! Plant is now 5 weeks into flowering. Buds are starting to come in more heavy. Just wondering how big they are gonna get?? I'm hoping for at least an ounce but idk if thats going to happen. Any advice is good. STAY LIFTED!!!!!

its pretty hard to make a good guess at what your gonna get are the buds dense or airy and so forth but its is still a but early to make a call on how much in weight you could potentially see. i dont think a zip is out of the question being they seem to be stacking up on your tops like they are supposed to though there is no size comparison to see how long they actually are or how thick they are, again its still pretty early and they have alot of filling out to do. seem to be on the right track
good luck

UPDATE! 7 weeks into flowering and looking pretty good for some cfls. Except the major stretch. I know its hard to tell when she will be done by not looking at the trichomes but what do you guys think. She has about 25% orange pistols should i wait till 75% and harvest. I'm getting anxious to harvest. I can only bare it so much longer. This is my first grow just trying to learn from this one. Any advice will help. STAY LIFTED

Looking great I love the closet door open with the lights shining down on the plant looks like some wicked sci- fi movie errie!

Ha thats awesome never thought of it that way! Thanks

UPDATE! 8 weeks into flowering. I recently bought a hand held 100x scope from radio shack. I have only a few cloudy trichomes. Should I wait till i get some amber or chop her down next week??? I have no clue and need some help. Its been a great first grow and I'm ready to harvest i just dont know when to. Any advice would help. What do you guys think???

I would wait till at least a few are amber...that way you know you've hit full potential....
