dude, those stretched soooo much, but at least you got some bud, next time keep the tops of your plants like 3 or 4 inches away from a cfl AT MOST

They are pretty, but they are stretched. Like they say, watch for the tricromes to turn amber. One you get say 50/50 amber/milky you can call them DONE.

so stretching is the reason for them not budding correctly - what do u suggest - harvesting now and toppin near bottom with 2 nodes and 2+ bud sites for reveg - after new growth has gotten me 2 colas i will top again 2 make 4 or 2 mite be ryt duno yet then reflower and i wiill make sure to keep the cfl really close

if i harvest the top buds now will this boost the other bud growth or spoil yeild

Your plants are Streched like crazy. When I use cfl's I keep them 2 inches at most. You'd be surprised how cool they get when fans are blowing on them. Better luck next time and at least you got a couple grams to smoke.

no dont reveg, just harvest what you have and than start over with seeds or clones and dont let them strech and you'll get a nice yield

i dont have the option to clone now at this stage in flower and i have lost my other seeds so reveg is my only option plus i hear that the budding power of thaat massive rootball is immense - also will nute next time

to reveg leave the last 1/3or1/4th of the plant still on and has much leaves has possible then either transplant into bigger pot or trim root mass flip lights back on to 18/6 or 24/7 and add some veg nutes and in like 3 weeks you'll be back in bizzness

kk i will do that n ya know bcoz ill be topping it when imm harvesting - will this create 2 main stems or will i have to topp

wot method do u suggest i use for optimum and maximum yeild - scrog sog lst or topping?
 
fcuk uve got loadsa pics , fair play, right my opinion, ur plant is totaly over stretched, u need to keep the light 2inches from top of plants at all times if using c.f.l
re-vegging would be a complete waste of time and a lot of effort, start fresh, keep ur lights on 24/7 for the first 3 weeks then 18/6 for 2 weeks, u will see a massive difference in how tight the nodes stay, wich is a good thing.
try ur best to invest in a hps400 or even a hps 250

i vegg with very low light cfl. 2x 18w warm white + 2x 18w cool white.
i vegg for 5 weeks or until they reach 15inches then i flower with a 400w hps, the results r always banging.

the trick is to keep the light as close as possible with cfl, and when in flower dont be tempted to go to hard to fast, build the nutes up slowly, and surey in te end u could harvest buds like these..good luck man.

lot of mixed opinion on the reveg but is still what im doin - i tried to fim one of my plants and it still only has 1 cola and it stunted growth lots so myt just top n scrog - wots the idea of scrog - grow throught the screen then push back under and keep doing this till its a bush and the bud site come through teh holes in the scrren - any links to mint scrog cfl grows would be aprreciated
 
ur plant is way to streched for scrog method, it would litteraly take forever to grow into a tidy thick scrog with that plant, i personaly think u should get the basic growing sorted firs before even thinking about scroggin, scrog is allabout keeping the plant short and bushy, ur are to tall and lanky, not putting ur grow down just giving sound advice. good luck watever u choose to do. out............

just use a bagseed and if you grow them right the quality and quantity of the bud will be 10000x better than getting 1/4 oz on 3 plants combined
