First time grower, so bear with me lol. Started from seed back in May and switched lights to 12/12 in August. Didn’t too topping or much training but giving nutrients and checking ph levels. Any advise or suggested problems. Or am I just being impatient lol?
My father-in-law trimmed a bunch on leaves off around 2 weeks ago. I’ve attached pics, its heathy and always has been as far as I can see.
Horrible lighting resulted in a stretched plant. The buds will fatten more but it's not going to fill out much more
I think before you start another grow that you read as much as you possibly can, then read some more. Then, after that: try everything you read. If you fuck up the plant, clone it. Hands on is different than reading about it. Remember that: growing is a numbers game. If you get the numbers down, you got it.
The buds are going to be super airy aka popcorn buds due to whatever kind of lighting that is...pick yourself up a hps,cmh or good led and learn how to top and low stress train,keep the ph levels and ppm in check with some good nutrients and you'll do much better next trip..happy growing.oh and keep it clean and your temps and rh within range and lots of air flow too buddy and your buds look like they have 5 or more weeks left imo.

Yeah the lights were ok when they were small, any suggestions on inexpensive light that would cover 2 plants?
First time growing thank you for the advise. I now the lighting is for shit it’s what I had. Please give some suggestions on relatively inexpensive light systems for around 2 plants
Your right on track with your timeline as I am with my plants. Forgive me for the picts, my 8 were all outside from june till Sept. But your buds are looking very close to where I am at un flower.
If heat wouldn't be a issue I would get a hood and a 600w HPS/MH setup, if its kept in a smaller area that heat is going to be a problem I would suggest LED, those I dont know much about. I use a open room to grow in so heat is never a problem.
Those plants are so long only the top few buds will be in optimal light. You should get a tent. Having reflective material the correct distance from your light footprint will increase the light that hits the plants by 20-30% depending on how well your tent matches the light footprint. You also need to work on training. Can't fault you for a first grow but you won't maximize your space growing like that. You want to concentrate all the canopy in the zone of best light output and fill it wall to wall. My current crop at flip to 12/12. Looks like a different plant compared to yours. Look at this picture and learn from it. You have to shape a plant to get the most from an indoor light.
You can still bend them over, slowly...not all at once, just make sure its about 3/4 up the plants, soften the stems 'bout a 6"section ", then slow ly bend them, then tie them, this plants been lst'd and supercropped about 4 an half months, on 5th week flower
