i've been doing 12/12 since the 25th Nov (it germinated on the 5th Oct) due to lack of space the plant is tied down which is why it doesn't look as tall as it should do. Maybe it still is a little too small for what it should be. I dunno. Opinions would be great. How long do you think it'll be till it's ready? I'm using a mix of 125 cool white and 120 Warm white CFLS

Thanks

Another 5-7 weeks til it's harvesting time.

Your plants do seem pretty small, even if they're indicas. Did you grow them in smaller pots a long period of time before moving them in bigger ones, because they may have suffered from root lock? Especially since you've vegged them for quite a lot of time (5-6 weeks is more than you can ask for). Are you adding any nutes to that soil?
They're still gonna strech a bit, probabily another 5-8 inches if you treat her good.

CFL's are a good choice. They have the best quality light spectrum for plants. The only downside is that they have a low lumen emission. I suggest getting them close to your plant (constant 1/2foot distance) since CFL's arn't a heat problem.

Hope this helped.

Nice grow it def looks healthy...
What type of lighting cycle did you do before 12/12
and has it steadily grown since changing the times?

Cheers, I went through a period of using nutes for about a month 1/4 strength but had stopped for the time being as (as you righty stated) I think I had root lock. (I had the plants in the same pot but where planted lower down so repotted them at a higher level)

So are you saying you have already repotted them? They need a bigger pot imo.they will grow alot bigger and alot faster and alot stronger if you do.what is the strain,and how often are you watering it with your nute schedule?

Well if your tying them down bushy is what you want to aim for. Tie all the branches down and they all will grow straight up like little mini colas. Its pretty cool im goig to do a couple in my new grow this time.

I have repotted them but if they need a bigger one still that's what i'll have to do. Water the plants once every 4/5 days and used nutes once every 2 weeks. As for strain I have no idea my friend.

When repotting is it mainly depth you have to think about for example if I got a pot that was a lot wider would that be ok to use instead of a deep pot

I've noticed that sativas tend to really wanna go as deep as they can with their root system, while indicas like to stretch more sideways. So in your case, I'd go for a 80l (21 gallon) pot with a height no bigger that its width.

Well, in any case, with a plant like that, i'd get a pot with a width/diameter of 30-45cm (12-18 inch). The height isn't that important. Anything over 20cm (8 inch) will do fine.
