    Thumbs down chop or not to chop ... that is the question ...

    hey guys , i have been growing a flo x wreck as my first grow for a long long time now and i am just thinking of chopping it and starting 4 northern lights... i have been growing it for lets see about 6-7 weeks so far and to be honest, its looking shit ... it has next to no buds on it , just tiny spots of white hairs on it , it has a cola the size of my little toe , and i just don't think its worth growing, i would blame myself for it being shit as i did only veg for 2 weeks and only fed it tomato food plus when i veged it i only used a 75w cfl ... lol i can say right now i have messed it all up from the start here are some pics of how shes looking now , baring in mind this is 6-7 weeks in !!!

    cheers T

    i think she is just crying out for more light , the more energy she can absorb the bigger she will grow . a 75 wt cfl is not really enough to flower under and expect a big yield .

    Leave it under Hun. Tbh you only have the equivalent of 80w of light. Get some more cfl's in there if your strapped for cash. More light = more bud. I'd let it flower out properly. If you stick your seeds under some mote cfl's on 18/6 now they should be a fair size by the time this has finished
    GFORCE - if your worried about what your mates gonna say you could glue the leaves back on and spray it green lol.

    May as well just save a few hundred quid and get a half decent set-up, I dunno, maybe you are on a real tight budget but all you really need is a few hundred quid for a nice little set-up.

    Not sure it matters if you chop it or not tbh as it just looks like the set-up ain't good enough, I'd make it an absolute priority to get some decent lumens. And I'm not some hps fan boy but yeah you do need at the very least a 200 watt CFL.

    i would get your light sorted m8 cos that plant is tiny the more light the more buds i recomenned a 400w hps or 600w hps get them for £100+ if you can handle the heat thats what you need if you want decent size bud
