CFL - First Grow - Closet

Just position the lights around the plant. the closer the light the better the plant uses it

So here we go probably wont post more pics for a bit but looking good? the bottom leaves are turning yellow and falling off.. should i be concerned? 1 inch under 4 ft in a 5 gallon bucket..

ha that thing is a stick keep that light on the side of it and keep rotating the plant every so often maybe she will bush up

let it go as long as possible.

Looks like atleat 5 more weeks of flower to me.

i see a lot of people dont top there plants to make it bushy

Well like shit. I have lights all around it./ There just around and above it. Not below it. As for not topping it I know I know. This is a first grow tho. When will I know this is ready for harvest? its been flowering since July 15. So this is Day 35 of flowering (week 5).Also it has 5 leaves on some, 7 on others 8 on a few and 9 on the upper nodes. What does this mean? And any clue what kind I got here? or if i got more pics could anyone tell me? It cam from bag weed that I was told was "good shit". I also havea seed of some purple something I think he said kush. But I havent started it yet.

Edit: Also I see some redish orange hairs on some of the buds. Does this mean its good or that its nearing harvest? I know someone said 5 weeks tho...

alright for one that plant is way way strechted out and bar.and u should focus the lights around the middle of the plant and have a few on the top .when u start seeling u want the light within 2-4inches of the plant at all times.and air circulation.and try to get soil without nutes because u can run into problems with those in the longrun.and it's good to trim the lower leaves which will not yield much to help bush out the plant and help with the energy of the plant

Didnt know about that last part with triming the bottom. And my lights were 1-2 inches away. CFL has that stretch effect on plants.. 3 plants were grown and 1 was very bushy. The bushy one was the one i transplanted in time this one I didnt and the 2 I didnt didnt bush out so im asumming that had a role in it too.

How is she lookin? I know im not getting shit for a yeild off this tho. This is about half what im gonna get atleast. Probably 60% tho.

How much longer does it look like I have? Flowering started on July 15. Its 7wk and 1day into flowering.

Not sure if this is true but harvest is when 50-90% of the hairs turn red? Or can anyone correct this? Because I see many red hairs and smell is strong as ever. (extreamly)

Concerned about how-soon to harvest and not overwaiting or underwaiting. Sorry this is just my first grow and I am not sure.

I have not reached my first harvest yet but it seems that the most common way to tell when to harvest is to get a microscope and look at the trichomes

I'm sure someone else can break it down for ya a little more if you need them to

Peace

I know that but I have negative 15,000 dollars.. And I know you "can" tell or estimate from pics.. lol If I got a mocroscrope even.. i still wouldn't know what im looking at/for if it hit me in the face..

Just curious but now it has a fruitloopy sweet smell.. is this good?

Now I notice 2 fully developed seeds. Both fell off the plant already. What does this mean exactly?

If your plant is seeding it means that it has been pollinated by a male plant.. if you have no male plants then perhaps one is a hermaphrodite..

perhaps these pictures will help you understand trichromes and harvesting time

Does not help. I already know this its just do 100% of hairs have to look like that? Because if im right dont they marutre at diff times.. and second of all.. no telescope nor will i legally be alowed money. 100% of my wages have geen anr are garnished untill my accident is paid off in full plus the suspension of my liscense. see my problem here?

And no one answeres so if by the 13th im planning to harvest it wethere its ready or fucking not.

whats the update

wait till 65-85% hairs are darker. thats MY range. people use micrscopes. dont feel like buying one to see when i need to harvest. i go with the hairs. PEACE

Alright well my parents found it so I harvested 2mo into flowering looks liekd 50-75% raid hairs with VEYR strong smell.. everyone here says its goign to be good shit so im not sure yet untill its tested
