Sorry for the lack of photos so far, it's been a combination of being busy and laziness. Just wanted to give a little update.
I started flowering last night at 12/12. the 5 finger leaves are almost as big as the 3 finger leaves in the old pics. It's got 7 finger leaves about an inch long and the next set of leaves is sprouting. I flushed the soil today also because I noticed a very slight yellow spotting on the newer leaves. At first the drain off water was dark and towards the end of the flush it was clear, hopefully that means I got most of the shit out. I will have pics up soon, possibly later today.

FINALLY AN UPDATE!!!!!!!!11
Sorry it took so long to upload pics, but I finally did it.
She has been flowering for 4 nights now, tonight will be the 5th night. Hopefully I get a sex soon.
One pic is the white walls I surrounded the plant with.
One pic is my outdoor side project. The indoor and outdoor plants were both planted on the same day, so you can really tell the difference indoor makes.
Notice the secondary growths on the stem, they are sprouting 3 finger leaves.
Last pic is the main growth tip, quality isn't good so its hard to see.

Any ideas on when I should see sex? I know young plants take longer but it shouldnt be more than a week or so right?

Nice, I remember my first ghetto grow. Not too different from yours, except I took every lamp in the house and used them for my own devious deeds when my girl wasn't outside. Couple grows into the future not much has changed except I've collected a couple lamps but still use my good ol cheap CFL's. I did however just get a 150w HPS so that's kinda cool too. But your grow is looking good, not sure when it'll sex but I hope your lady is a lady ;) I cant wait till the weather gets right here and I can grow a bit outdoors too.

Thanks, Im crossing my fingers for a female, and ya wait till its a little warmer, you can see how slow they grow when its cold, the outdoor plant in the picture is almost a month old and barely an inch tall. It was under 50 degrees at night when I planted the little bugger, didn't even think it would sprout, but aside from the crazy slow growth it looks healthy.

Thanks, and ya I thought about it but I read somewhere that Kush plants should be left with the main cola intact, because they naturally want to grow a thick main cola or somethin like that so I guess I'm gonna leave it alone for now.

Plant Update: this night marks 1 week into flowering, 7th night of 12/12. I really want to see some pre flowers soon. She is growing alot daily. The small 7 finger leaves shown in the picture are now about the same size as the 5 finger

Okay so now it has been 7 nights of 12/12, still no sign of pre flowers but she smells amazing and looks great.
I watered today, first with regular water and then with a 1-3-1 liquid fertilizer( it is the smallest bottle in the picture of all my fertilizers. I used 2/3 normal strength and added a couple drops of molasses. Hopefully the nutes will encourage her to start pre flowers, waiting for the sex is horrible.

upper 70's during the day, maybe 80 at hottest time of day, and upper 60's at night

That sounds about how it should be, 80 is getting in the hot zone i'd say but it is still fine. My grow hasn't had very good temperatures at all, and she may be a bit stunted but shes still DANK!

So im pretty much giving up on this log, too much effort for not very much traffic. Plant is looking great still, although I think growth is being held back by my single CFL, it just isnt enough light anymore. Everything is going great other than the slightly slower growth. Been flowering for almost 2 weeks but still no signs of pre flowers. Ive got 7 nodes and its about 10 inches tall, shouldnt something be sprouting by now? I think I will post a few final pics before I end the log.
