okay i took a few pictures a little while ago..anyone kno why those fan leaves are crisping up like that in the last picture??? rep+ for some answers..

not exactly sure how old this plant is.. my buddy asked me if i could take it off of his hands because he was moving..he told me it was in week 2 of flowering when he gave it to me about a week ago ..so I am going to say that today is the first day of week 3
its natural for lower leaves to turn yellow and die as the plant matures.

i wouldnt worry about it too much.

thats a nice little setup you got yourself there. and as for having the lights on a little longer than 12 hours, i think shell be fine. good luck with your grow.

plant looks good! mine took forever to develop tons of pistils

and go to lowes and pick up a cheap timer, mine was $10 and it is pretty simple to use.

has a wheel that has 30-min increments on it and you just set when you want the electricity to flow and when to shut off.

Walmart has timers for $5, and yeah, looks like 3rd week flowering for a small plant to me. Mine doubled in size during flower, i'm in week 5 right now and a lot changed in the past 2 weeks...Only time will tell, my friend. Keep your thumbs green!

Did you get some 2700k's in there yet that will def help from what I've read, looking good none the less. How old is she from germ?
Thanks bro...I have 3- 2700k bulbs only.. I plan to throw the baby into the cabinet in the next couple days..not sure exactly how old the plant is.. I took it off my buddys hands becuase he had to move. I believe he vegged for about a month and he gave me the slut when it was in the 2nd week of flower..its in the 3rd week now so I'd say she is roughly 45-55 days old from seed.. She's pretty small, I think he put her threw a lot of stress.. I'm sitting at work now ill give rep to you guys once I'm home..thanks boys

Check out GrilledCheese https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/393031-all-miracle-grow-cfl-bagseed.html

He mentioned something about adding some molasses to fatten up his buds, first i've heard of it but it might be worth looking into I know I will be when I get close to flower! otherwise i say keep at her, It's nice of you to adopt her hopefully she'll be dankfull for it!lol
yeah ive realy been meaning to buy some molasses but ive been super broke..definetely gonna scrape up some change and try it out though thanks for the advice!

Ok so the seed I mentioned early on in the post never popped threw the soil..so I just threw it out..my kush seeds should be arriving anyday now anyways.. Becky is at home relaxin in her pc box., I am a little worried about how low the humidity is (although she's still growing strong).. I haven't noticed much vertical growth though.., onlyy bud sites are increasing in size..any thoughts as to why??? Ill post pics wen I'm home

Initially I thought this when I read about your new fixture, and now that you have voiced your concern, I'll give my opinion. There are two basic types of hot glue guns and hot glue, low melt and high melt. I think with the high melt glue you're PROBABLY ok, but the low melt might give you some issues. I used hot glue for a lot of DIY projects in the past, and the one thing I can say is it's not very durable. Great for a while, but has a tendancy to fail after time. Nice fixture though.
