Dude I took one look at thing & said no way that's a sativa, it looks like an autoflower/indica. Have fun with it. Looks pretty good. For nutes try liquid bone meal 4-12-0, it's only like 6 or 7 bucks.

Yeah I've decided it's an indica too, it's finally showing some bud growth. Here's it's pistil's I'll update when the buds get bigger, anything is appreciated

looks good my plant just started to show pistils so im pretty excited now! subd!...check it out--->https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/345830-why-growing-like.html
your absolutly right it does better the soil....but ur wrong beucase the plant gets magneisuim calcium and sugars that get fed thru the plant...most flowering nutes are molasses based so id have to say thats misinformation

Bro you should get some lights on the side of that pretty plant. CFL's have no light penetration, so if you only light from the top you are not going to get very dense buds down low. Other than that everything is looking great!

Thanks for the input.
and yeah! I was reading ganjaluvr's thread about molasses and he said even in the vegatative state that the unsulphured molasses will help speed up vigor and growth of the plant.. so I've been using that until my other stuff comes in the mail.. and I do have a lamp hanging penatrating the top pretty well and a 40wt on the side so I frequentley am rotating the plant so it can get some what even light all around. But im thinking about adding another 40 wt, hope it doesn't get too hot though. Here's a pic of the top.. not a giant cola, yet

Even with nutes? I was hoping for 50-70 grams.. I almost have 160 wts of cfl on it.. and I know it has atleast 8,000 lumen's/ft or more. But then again this is just an extra seed that came with the critical haze I got, when I grow those i'll be using alot more cfl power, but i was hoping to get more then 25 grams, oh well we'll see

u dont have 8000lumens u have what ever one bulb puts out which is like 1200...u only have 1200..u cant just add up each bulbs lumens and say u have that much...u have what ever the one bulb is just distributed evenly...
alot of people make this mistake! if i have a 24watt cfl that gives off 1200 and i add another one too it that means i have 2 24watt bulbs givin out 1200 lumens not 48watts giving off 2400 lumens
adding more bulbs doenst change the lumens it just distrubutes them more easily

Light Output: 2800 Lumens
Energy Used: 42 Watts
Rated Life: 10,000 Hours
Volts: 120
I have two of those penetrating the direct sides of the plant. 2800+2800 lumens is 5600. How is that not being evenly distrubuted? and I also have this 65 watt cfl penetrating the top which puts out 3,400 lumens http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/6053/FC65-S30.html
5600+3400= 9,000 lumens. How is that not sufficient when a plant needs 7,000-10,000 lumens

read what i wrote! i didnt say anything about insufficient and i said all u are doing is evenly distrubuting them...
the lumens stays the same, if u are using the same light bulb u cant add them and say theres double the lumens thats actually bein put out.
more lightbulbs doesnt increase the number of lumens! that stays the same, all u are doing with more of the same bulbs is evenly distributing those lumens not adding more... u have 2 bulbs giving out 2800lumen not 5600 lumens.. u get it?
i have 4-42watt cfls and a 24watt on the top aint no ones knockin u i was informing no need to get all defensive..calm down and read what i wrote there was nothing negative about it ok...
