    what are u feeding? what soil are u using? I can tell you that the lighting is not sufficient enough to be producing big dense buds.

    Yeh, the problem is that you don't have enough light. I use T5's, but they gotta be high output bulbs. Each tube is 54 watts on my light. I have a 14 watt T5 that I use on my aquarium, and I can tell ya, it's no where near bright enough to grow.

    The cheapest way to fix this problem would be to get yourself a bunch of CFL bulbs (the screw in type) and direct it on the plant.

    how is she looking
     
  18. #18 sisterstorm, Jun 22, 2012
    Well, she looks pretty healthy, and it looks like you're doing the best you can with lighting. This would be the 5 week of flowering right? Keep in mind that plants don't really start putting on a lot of bud weight until week 6, and it really takes off at week 7 and 8.

    ok update i just changed out 2 14 5000k watt cfls for 2 26 watt 3000k cfls that puts me at over 120 watts is that enough needed for one plant cause i thought that was the general rule but i may be wrong
