INDOOR SATIVA CABINET MICRO GROW

Is my plant healthy looking?

**1st attempt of flowering

I FIM the top during veg stage once and gave me 4 tops, then i Trained her by tying branches for even canopy.

[[[ grow info ]]]

*Unknown Sativa strain from Philippines

*grown indoors on my cabinet

*5 cfl bulbs total of 150watt(1inch distance from leaves)

*1 gallon pot

*now feeding her bloom nutes using orchid fertilizer with npk of 15-30-15

she's been 10 weeks on 12/12 light cycle.first 3 weeks of her,all of those preflowers at the nodes are doing good, but then at 4th week it had extreme side branching, i research here on the internet.and found that its because of light leaks.(that's why i think it has reverted to veg phase)



***I taught she was doing good(week 4) but in reality , it got back to veg again.

___________________________
I then fixed it the following week (5th week). And i waited for another 4 weeks for her to start flowering again.



***(week lateral branches are still growing leaves,instead of calyx and pistils (i think she's still recovering from the stress she'd been through)


________________________________
By now, i can see that its budsites (her small side braches ) are also now growing small calyx, Although you cant see on the pic. i think it's back to flowering so im counting this for week 1 of flowering again.


***this day (week 10)
but ill officially mark this as week 1, im just hoping its starting to flower again,not vegging.

i can see it still producing new leaves on top of the colas, does it mean that it is still on veg stage? As i can see on other grows, the top colas will have something like a crown or cluster of calyx and pistils,

only good thing is that pistils are still growing at every node. No pollen sacks/balls that i can see for now. I am expecting soon that it may have hermied on me cause of light leak and it will produce some seeds, thats fine with me, cause its my first grow guys! Haha everyone makes mistakes, and that's when you will learn and correct it next time around.


Do you think im doing okay at my plant? Does it look healthy? Any help woud help me a lot, just dont bother to suggest any other lighting other than cfl bulbs, hehe.i can add more cfl bulb, Next grow ill upgrade my lighting but for now will just use cfls. Its for my personal use only and i grew this just out of curiosity and im so lucky that its a female. So feel free to comment, give me some tips and infos i should know, thank you guys.

Add as many CFL as you can afford and that you can keep cool enough. They look really good so far! Keep going.

That's what i like here at rollitup.org
Fast replies and nice people.
Thank u for the advice and compliment, ill be adding cfls asap, i have my cabinet at my bedroom and i turn the AC on(20°c) when lights are on, is that alright? Isn't it too cold for it or I'm doing fine? and i only have 1 computer fan used as exhaust that is sucking hot air inside the box.

Update of my plant, after 1week,
Can u see any improvements?

That's after 10 weeks of 12/12? WTF? Ain't one bud on that. Are you sure there isn't light getting in the cabinet or something? Looks like full veg mode to me. Maybe somebody has been opening it up during it's dark phase. Only takes a second of light to ruin the dark phase. You may beed to put a dark blanket over the cab if there are cracks. Also, just spring for some real seeds cuz god only knows what the characteristics of that plant are. I doubt it's gonna turn out to be worth the trouble really.

Yes its 10 weeks of 12/12

For the first 5 weeks there's been a light leak and ive fixed it already, after 5 weeks of no light leaks, it started to show pre flowers again and the stretch seems to be slowing,

So now im back to counting its flowering week by WEEK 1 of flowering, will i harvest any buds on this plant? I dont mind if it will take time as long as there will be. What do u think sir?

That doesn't even look like 5 weeks flowering, looks like 1. Are you sure there's not something wrong with the timer that makes it turn on in the middle of the night or something? I don't know if you'll get anything off that or not. Maybe that strain needs 14 hours of dark instead of 12.

If i said its 1 week flowering, does it look right for 1 week? I mean, does it look like your plant in 1 week also?

Actually its on 14 hours off already, yup you are correct its just 1 week again, the first time i put them under 12/12 lighting it was messed up, i have a light leak.and i fixed it already, Then it took 4 week to recover and get back to flowering stage again (i hope so).
Do you think its back to flowering stage? Does it look right for 1 week flowering and am i on my way ?

To be honest I can't tell if it's in flowering mode or not so if it is it must be very early into it, could be 1 week in. By 2 weeks in you should see quite a few white hairs at the tips of the branches. If you stopped all the light leaks and the timer is working properly then I guess it will flower eventually. To see if it will be good weed you could try smoking a few growing tips. If you don't get fairly high from the growing tips then it's going to be pretty bad even when it's ripe.
