I would go for high pressure sodium(hps) 250W at least. I am using hps 400w and it works great for booth veg and flowering. You should get one of those because your girl need it and the buds will grow fat and sticky in a way u only can dream of with the light u are using at the moment. Maybe some grower with more experience than me have an other opinion....?

How big was it before you started to flower?
yer the thing is im on a shoe string budget, and i know that hps is expensive and puts out alot of heat which i dont have room to get the light far enough away from the light, also with hps you need to buy a transformer as well cant plug strait into the normal light socket. the size was about 9-10inches but it is only 14days or so into flowering how long do u reckon i should have it in flower for?

yeah i did the same thing. I upgraded to a air cooled 600 watt mh/hps light. its awesome. it was $250 for the light but then we had to get a fan. but that is only good if you have the space and proper ventilation. so your setup for now is probably fine for your space.

the advice about getting yourself a HPS lamp is good advice.
your plant will respond better to a lamp with the proper light spectrum.
Floros are good for growth, and can be a beneficial supplement light in flowering, but unless you have full spectrum or at least red spectrum floros, it is very difficult to allow the plant to reach its full potential. If it's just one plant, a 250 watt HPS(high pressure sodium) lamp will do you wonders.
Good Luck.

This is the advice you need to follow if you want a good yield. Have you thought about over veging this plant so you can use it as a mother? This is your chance, well you passed it up a bit, but you can go back to a 18/24 light cycle, and turn this plant into a mom so you can clone off of her. GL

Do you think he can fit and ventilate an Hps in his space? if so that really is the best way to go. But you know if you can't afford it and dont have the space, you gotta make do with what you have. make the best out of it.
yeh mybe on my next grow i will do it all properly this was just a warm up to the big one so i get to know what im doing, dont think it will end up to badly, what yeald to you recon i could get of this its from mandalaseeds and sadhu strain? also just looking around the house for a bigger closet to get into so can grow larger plant.

Well that really all depends. i mean my first grow, i grew the shitiest looking weed you have ever seen. i mean it had lots of crystals, but it was sooooo fluffy. however it was stronger than any of my other grows. Have you made any mistakes this time around? i know i overwatered, over fertilized, and any other "over" you can think of my first grow. so all that had to do with the way my pot turned out.
yeh iv probably made a few mistakes, with this female the lights fell ontop of her in veg courceing me to loose 3 inches as they got fried, but its not turned out to bad yeh i try to fert about once or twice a week and water nearly every day now. yeh shadhus a good strain looking forward to getting a taste it smeels prity good
ok so havent been on in a while, been away on boaring skl trips...but now am bak and can see the diffrence left my baby with my mom and i think shes done alright, i will give her some of the fruits of my labour, so heres a few pics tell me what you think, shes now 22inches tall. i havent tied here down, the top buds are looking good however the lover ones arnt realy getting much light i dont think, should i just pic the top ones first when there ready the focus on lower ones or should i start to trim some fan leaves to get light to lower branches?
Also how long do u reckon i have left of this grow?

I would not suggest that you cut any shade leafs. As they are described by many, the shade leafs are your plants solar panels. All the trimming that you could have done, is the past now, since you should only trim during the Veg phase, and allow them to recover before you put them into flower. It looks like you have about 35-40 days left, Gl and keep us posted, things are going to start to get fun now..!
