Chop?

Stunted auto.
Grown in soil with CFL 250w
Im just wondering is there any point leaving this another couple of weeks. Stunted from overwatering, pistills turned brown with the buds really small.
Should I just chop and give a young plant the light space.

they look ready ... have you checked the color of the trichs with a loupe ?

No I don't have anything to check them. They do look all milky from the naked eye.
I have a nicer plant that just started to flower so I'm thinking give that as much light as possible

With this setup there's a lot of manoeuvring involved

shes not going to put on much more weight than that she is very mature looks mlike some good quality flower.

next time around id recommend cleaning up that inner/lower growth so the plant doesnt waste energy on the popcorn and try to train and shape either before flower or just before the stretch for the best effect. im not sure but it looks like you may have just bent her down a few weeks into flower.

otherwise tho she looks good. still healthy and could go another couple weeks if you wanted.... but probably wont put on much more weight.

24 grams wet lol. Oh well, at least I learned a bit from this one.

Maybe a bit too much nitrogen? The leaves are very dark green and they’re ‘clawing’ over.

funny you saying that, but when i was a youngster learning about lights and growing, i was told something about the nutes percentage of nitrogen to eigher potassium or phosporus, that you had to use a plant food with twice as much nitrogen to ?? p or k. this was for feeding any plant grown under fluros. can anyone confirm this or correct it or deny it??

Ok. It doesn’t seem to be working for you.

It's a strange one. The root system never developed properly so it wouldn't drink. No water for the last two weeks and the pot stayed really heavy and the leaves got darker.
I'm definitely getting a better feel for watering/feeding after harvesting 6-7 now.

Water till it runs out of the bottom a little helps with nutrient build up as well but yeah every round is a lesson.

looks like some dank bud to me.
not a terrible harvest for only using the 1 CFL

do you know why she got stunted?

Advice already given is all pretty good, but just a note on your setup, if you want to keep using CFL, get reflectors because the end of the bulb is the part which puts out the least amount of light! Most comes from the sides and is not hitting your plants with the current setup.

Oh and in response to the original question, it's hard to tell but yeah trichs look milky from your pics. I'd chop it now.

I use 2x125w cfl's, one dual spec, the other just red. It was great to get started but I want to get an led. Every time I'm about to buy one something comes up. Mars hydro or a lumatek Attis are available locally.

Sorry forgot to say, it stunted because I put the seed in its final container at the start and overwatered it. I started another at the same time and its going much better.

you swapped them out? or are you referring to the 2 next to eachother? they are a bit far appart for the cfl's to really effect the other plant, if thats what you mean.
