How did you get them to grow sideways like that? hahaha j/k.

They look good. Agree with the Sith... Try using the flash to wash out some of background light. Or shut it off and take the pic.

Hahahaha thanks guys! Thats what I thought aswell, hell some of the leaves on her are bigger then my hand. She doesn't really smell to much? Is that normal? I mesn my fingers reaaaakkk after touching even then stems, but if I put my nose up to the buds she doesn't have much of an odor. Also, I know you guys get this question so fucking much but this is my first grow, not to worried about what I'm going to get, but do you think I'll get at least 2 zips off of her?

In all honesty set a goal to work towards with research done to back it but figure on only getting a quarter to half of that. It may be different but that's how it turned out for me until I had a few grows under my belt and a better understanding of what to expect. Few things we would need to know. Pot size, light(watts), nutes, ect. And even then bro it's up to you to water at the proper times with the right amnt of nutes and keep an ideal environment for them. I kno that's probably not what you want to hear but it's the truth. At least it was for me. Good luck! Blitz

Yeah, I'm not expecting much, once I get my taxes I'll be purchasing an actual tent with a nice scrubber and canfan and also I'm looking at getting some strawberry sour diesel or maybe some strawberry cough because I've heard those are good strains for anxiety/depression which is why I smoke in the first place. But anyways I have this baby in a 5 gallon bucket with happy frog soil I feed it one gallon of water usually once a week or whenever it needs it (I go by the method of sticking my finger in the dirt and if its dry I water but tend to let it dry out as much as possible without letting her droop) with a teaspoon of my nutrients, I use the floranova grow and bloom, using the bloom right now. But thats really it, I use plain tap water that I let sit for a day. I plan on buying a ph kit and maybe some other nutrients for my next grow once I upgrade. Anything you guys would suggest? I plan on getting some calmag I know for sure. All the different nutrients kind of confuse the fuck out of me haha so I just went with floranova since its just one part and nice and easy to use. I know I should probably ph my water now but its winter and I can't find a ph kit anywhere and the hydro store around here is ran by 2 burnouts who seem to know nothing. So I figure I'll wait till after harvest and I have an actually tent and a decent setup. Thsnks guys!

Shit I forgot to mention my light! I have a hydrofarm 250 watt hps/mh. It seems to be working wonderfully, I had 3 in my box but 2 were hermies so I made bho out them and am left waiting for this beauty to finish!
 
Your plant looks good man. obviously it could've been bigger before you put it in flower, but the shape is very nice. 2 oz is possible, but probably closer to 1. If you're going to keep your operation pretty small just buy a bunch of cheap bottles/jugs of water. Keep all the 'peripheral' equipment cheap (ph meter, fans, thermostat, humidifier).

Yeah she's only about 28 inches tall. She was at around 15 when I flipped her. I topped her once and lstd her a little bit. got 4 main colas 3 that look nice and big, one straggler. Hoping to get 2 ounces but I could make do with one. I figure shoot low and I won't be disappointed. I smoke maybe an eighth or a little more a week. More like 4 grams. So I figure I could make an ounce and a half last me 2 months if im lucky. Almost enough to finish my next grow. Its all personal use. Really tired of paying 60 bucks for 3 grams of "decent" bud, 3.5 if im lucky. Illinois fucking sucks brother.

When I first started I wanted the biggest fattest most awesomest buds ever... Wound up wasting a ton of money, time and energy.

My goal for the last 4 cycles has been healthy plants, period. I didn't care about size or weight. Concentrated on only healthy vibrant plants. <---- This is when I started being successful in growing. (Not That I'm all that good but damn if I'm not better then I was). With every grow I make small tweaks no need for major ones once you have healthy plants. The cool thing is that the quality of buds and amount of trichs was well over what I expected (comparing to my initial grows).

IMO shoot for healthy plants that want to be alive. You will be pleased with the end results either way.

the plants look great but on the third picture
fan leaves look like they have a little nute burn on the tips of the leaves if they have you need to give the plants a flush

i am on my 3rd grow. i grow in soil too with t5's and cfls not the good lighting you have. i have pulled off 2 consecutive grows of around 130 grams each(4 and half ounces) from a 4x4x2 foot tent. my first grow i had 4 plants but screwed 2 of them up pretty badly. the second grow was 2 plants so i don't think shooting for 2 ounces off one plant is out of the question at all. i was shooting for a lot more but i chickened out and harvested both too early and they probably would have yeilded a lot more. as far as ph'ing the water, i bought some ph paper and that is working fine for me. hydrion makes paper that goes from like 5-8 which is good enough i think. i looked at electronic ph kits and they are expensive and a pain in the ass as you have to calibrate them every time. the guys at the grow shop i go to think ph'ing is more important for hydro grows. i have read that soil buffers itself which i guess means it doesn't swing wildly. i like what yktind said. aiming for healthy plants will do you right. the smoke i am getting is better than anything i have bought ever. good luck.
