pics are a little blurry but if those are little white hairs coming out of the top of the plant then that is a bud. you've got at least 6 weeks, probably more like 2 months to go.
 
yes it has withe hairs, it has like 7-8 buds :S but at least its not male!!!

sorry about pics my camera its for landscapes not closeups, so i wait 6 weeks more for harvest how do you know when buds are ready????.....


I got another question, can i get clones from my plant like this ?????

You can take a clone off a flowering female and it will work, note however it will take alot longer as it has to switch back to veg, and the furthur you are into flower the longer it will take to go back to veg. it will be atleast another 8 weeks if not more, go to radio shack or something and buy a 30x magnifiing glass for like $12, look at your crystels and when they are about %10 amber colour they are ready to go

congrats,Its a girl

These are buds but you are overfeeding your plant,its obvious from curling in of yourplants top new growing tips.

You need to search some pictures of this website.
it seems flushing is not a bad idea right now
 
OMG ill try then the thing with the magnifing glass so HARD !!! ill post some more pics on a few weeks when these buds are more mature , still got to learn what to do when this thing is ready , chop it and let it dry??? make hash??? what to do with leaves and buds?? how to clone??? so many things to learn, on the other hand I love having a plant :DDDD

thanks for your help guys!!!
 
I water once every 2-2.5 days and a small amount of water , I dont think its overwaatered the curling is due to my really
pooor 27w cfl (130W) lighting from sideways not top, still its preatty much working on low scale, next grow hope I improve my lighting setup, still i learn alot from this first time grow, hopefully i can get high in 6-8 weeks from my own harvest :DDD
 
sorry i take long to respond,

my setup if you can call it a setup consists of ONE ! 2400k 27w CFL bulb and thats it lumens output its really really low, but ill try getting some more for next grow

the bulb its at 3/4 height of plant from sideways so my plant its bushy at top and has few leaves on bottom

bro with that as your only light it may take 12 weeks to harvest, if a good harvest can ever be achieved with that little amount of light, i will be here each step to see though, lol. any questions feel free to ask
 
agreed. on most counts. especiallly on that plant NOT looking happy one bit
It looked happy when i was giving light from top, its also make the plant stretch so i lower the light to fix stretch and to give more light to mid-low part of the plant and that make the plants top leaves curl and look unhappy but for what i heard my plant looked healthy until i lower my light.

thanks for the respond, so with my light it will take even more to harvest up to 12 week more !!! thats a while :(((

you get out what you put in. i wouldn't even have considered trying to grow with one of those bulbs. 10 maybe but not one. just get out to the store and buy a couple more, they're a couple dollars each and every bit more will help you. unless you're moving the light from side to side to top to side etc throughout the day then it's not gonna be too helpful, you want lots and lots of light :)

just like everyone has said - more light. you're not going to get more than a couple of joints with that light alone.

I agree with tip top you need a few more cfls stop by home depot they have work lights with a cone reflector on them for like 5-6 bucks they will fit cfls. go for 4-5 more lights if you can

agreed, if you cant afford anything better then grab a bunch of these and put them in lamps in your room

There are a few things that have to happen before harvest: 1) the pistils that come out white will start turning brown or orange. when they are at about 70% brown (or whatever) that is a good sign, 2) like they said, get a microscope and look at the trichcromes! they should be mushroom shaped and when ready, as already stated above, they will start turning an amber color.:hump: If I were you I would buy a microscope and a good grow book. There are many good grow books and also check out some videos. All this stuff you are wondering about is covered pretty good in the grow books. I have 3 myself.
I would say good lighting is your next need. :joint:Good luck.
