Good pic. The bud is a flower, actually a whole bunch of female flowers stacked up.

i thought the Bud was more like a fruit or vegatable, like a tomatoe. kinda a vehicle for the seeds. either way the males are the ones who have flowers that look like flowers. no pun intended

today I've seen it only in the morning and I switched it to 12/12 from 7 am to 7 pm. I will not check on her now, I'll let her sleep and I'll throw an eye in the morning to see how she's doing. I'll come with pics on Friday evening and after I'll do a 1 week pause due to my departure.

Checked it in the morning, soil still moist since I've last watered it. Otherwise it looks well, no other issues. I'll check on it tomorrow morning again, on the evening I'll do some pics and water it. Friday night I'm off until the 2nd of January. I think she'll do fine.

Day 51 and the 2nd day on 12/12. In the morning the plant looked great, it's getting proportions. No new issues. I will soon take some pics and water + some nutrients. Hopefully it will be Ok until the 2nd when I am returning... At this stage the soil looks like it needs water. So...last time I watered it it was last Saturday.
I have 2 bags of
normal saline 1 liter each. I could fill them with water and put them at a slow rate to drip into the pot... At slow rate they can take up to 48 h to finish...what do you guys think?

wow man she's going to be a Big one....lol
I like your idea for when your away...but only as a temporary idea ....as its Not good to have soil always moist, ok for an emergency, if you know you won't make it back in time to water, but not on going thing... how long are you away? how long in between waterings...are you going to gone for more than the time needed to water her again?
Waterfarm system is more ideal for that, because it uses hydroton clay pellets.... hell yah! ...but not so great for soil
as soil needs to dry out in between waterings to avoid over watering. peace

Hi Lime,
I'll be back on the 2nd of January. Last time I watered was on Friday evening...23rd evening. Gave it 3 liters and 3 small cups of nuts. Last time I watered it with 3 liters, the soil was dry after about 7 days. So...she will stay 3 days without water. I realy hope I will not find it dry and dead.

She will be ok ...I'm sure!
worst case she will be thirsty and "if" she is drooping when you see her.... only give water no nutrients and she will perk up fast
sending positive vibes your way!
Happy New Year Perke
Hope your Beast is well, looking forward to the update bro

Hi everybody. I'm back home. I am amazed of what happened during my absence. I was expecting for the plant to be dropped due to the lack of water. No, not the case but...I've done other mistake...when I left I pulled up the lights a bit, about 15-20 cm... When I arrived home today, the only problem was the fact that the plant grew like crazy and reached the lights and got some burns on some leaves. But I am not worried about that. I've just watered it with 3.5 liters of water and I cut down the burned parts of the leaves. I took some pics, but I'll post some more tomorrow in detail. A lot of buds are growing 
I am very pleased. So...some pics
If I am not mistaking this is day 61 and day 12 if vegetative

A huge one, not a big one, the wardrobe might be a bit small for it...(?!?)

welcome home Perk! she's lookin great. i really like the branch formations. i was thinking about if you moved the lights far enough to allow room for all the growth and how i forgot to mention anything about it 
lol oh well, doesn't look too bad at all. your grow room should be fine. the stretch during flower stops about 1/3 into it. so when she stops stretching, you'll have an idea how long she'll take to be ripe!

now might be a good time to doubble or tripple your lighting. veg stage it is far less important but investing in more lights will be well worth your money. it looks like your running all daylight bulbs (6500k) your going to want some "soft white" bulbs in there (2700k) for fowering.
if you havent checked out https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-fluorescent-lighting/107992-tutorial-growing-cfls.html now might be a good time, its a short but informative read.
looking great tho, one more thing. if you get more light ion there you may want to be prepared to tie up the the branches as they may get heavy and snap, if you can catch this early its a good thing
