Please help- first time grower

[First-timer]

I found a seed in some good bud and decided to drop it in a pot to see what happened. No nutrients at all during veg, left outside on porch with limited light this time of year an no care other than water every couple of days. Now i have a plant that is about a 1.5ft tall. Because of the lack of light and care, it is now flowering. I’ve moved it into my closet and now keep and LED light on it for 12/12. I just started with fox farms tiger bloom. It’s now been 3 months, since I dropped the seed and this is what I’ve got. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. I had NO expectations at first, but now I’d like to see it through to the end to see if I can get any decent bud from it. Obviously a extremely low yield, but would be cool to smoke some of my own weed. Please help

Feed it more and move your light closer

 

[snoeman032]

Looks like you might have pest too

Put a fan and move the lights closer and feed her more don't let her dry up
Take a cotton drench it in neem oil mix and rub under all leaves don't have many leaves so that would not be a problem don't spray any thing on flower

I just put a oscillating fan in there today. I will pick up some neem oil tomorrow and rub under the leaves. Right now the light sit about 12in above, should it be closer? Like I said, I really don’t know much about what I’m doing other than what I’ve read the last couple of weeks. How often should I be feeding her? Should I be using the tiger bloom water each time? I appreciate the feedback

 

[Avinash]

That's perfect distance feed her when the top medium is dry enough use that bloom in minimal quantity in every watering
Is that photoperiod or autoflower

I wish I knew, I found it in a bag. It was the first seed I’ve seen years. It was pretty decent weed (not sure of the strain), which is why I decided to drop it in some soil to see what happened.
Should I leave the fan on while the light is off?

I use Tiger Bloom as well but in conjunction with Big Bloom. I haven't noticed any problems with feeding every watering but I personally use half strength Tiger Bloom and full strength Big Bloom because Big Bloom has almost no NPK and has bat guano, worm castings, and kelp. I use calmag instead of Grow Big for Nitrogen.

 

[Avinash]

Yeah leave it on 24*7 when did she started flowering???

Man they both are non organic fertilizers right???

Tiger Bloom is not organic. Big Bloom is OMRI certified organic. Many do not consider Big Bloom organic. I'd have to use other nutrients to really be able to rave about it but I love the stuff.

About 2 weeks ago

Is it to late to start big bloom with the tiger bloom?

Is it to late to start big bloom with the tiger bloom?

Well, that depends on how you look at it. Big Bloom is recommended throughout the entirety of the grow but the flowering feeding is only half of the vegetative feeding. That suggests to me that it is more crucial in veg than it is in flower. Do I think you will see improvement by the time you harvest? Yes, but it will not be significant this late. Do you need it to buffer the tiger bloom? No, I think using half strength or even quarter strength Tiger Bloom will do that just fine. Once you see no burns step that up to full strength.

Have you thought about whether you will be feeding right up until harvest day or going the last two weeks without feeding?

Do you think she's photoperiod???

I really have no idea? This is my first time, and it was damn near by accident that she got this far. What do you recommend? How will I know when it’s time to harvest

 

[xtraLRG420]

Do you think she's photoperiod???

Yes. The only evidence I have of it being a photoperiod is that he said it started flowering because of low light after growing it in veg for awhile.

You say you've had it three months now? Can you recall how long it was outside before you started seeing white hairs?

 

[First-timer]

Yes. The only evidence I have of it being a photoperiod is that he said it started flowering because of low light after growing it in veg for awhile.

It sat on my back porch from the time I started it in the last week of October until I moved it inside last Sunday. It’s been pretty much 12/12 due to the shorter days this time of year
