How is my lady doing?

Well, i've finally signed up and dared to post here after a few months lurking.
This is my first proper grow, i've tried before but due to other things i couldn't continue.But now I have my beautiful girl, who had been vegging for about 6 months!! I was a complete noob when i put the bean in a pot, she had major stretch.Basically she was treated really badly until I found this site.About a month after she started flowering on her own( she was growing in my window, I'm in the UK), I thought it would have been a huge waste to not atleast by some cfl's for her, I got what I could with what I had spare at the time. She's now been flowering for about 6 weeks under 1 65w cfl and 1 125w cfl in a makeshift growroom...My wardrobe! It's a very basic set up, I know I need more lights and it could be a million times better but at the moment it's working for me. I could sit in my room for hours just staring at her, noticing the difference each day. She's rewarding me well for my first grow!

So, Here are a few pics of Mejrak, My nearly 4ft beauty. :weed:
Any feedback would be appreciated. Just so you know, she never had any nutes until about 3 weeks ago when she showed signs of illness, She now gets fed Tomato food (about 1/8 rec. dose) every 3/4 days.It seems to suit her fine. Anyone have any idea how long roughly im looking at until harvest? I'm guessing about another 4-6 weeks?
I love this learning experience and with each new grow I will get better, but for now, i'm so proud that me and Mej have got this far!

good job man
she looks fine
id say at least another 6 weeks at least to get the best out of her.
maybe a little longer, if you can get hold of a pocket microscope off ebay for like a £5
you can look at the trics and judge when she is ready from their colour.
I normally crop when most of the trics are cloudy with a few dark ones in there.
but you should have some mighty fine smokable for christmas :)
take it easy dude

Thanks for the reply and vote of confidence and that was def. what I needed to hear. I thought I had no patience until I started this long journey, so another 6 or so weeks is nothing after 7.5 months! I already have a couple of magnifiers, I've just added a pic taken with it. It's crazy just how many pictures I have got! Any estimates to how much I may harvest?

Thanks for the replies, it's nice to feel reassured. She is really resiliant, I think I may take a few clones at the end, She has been in some really f***ed up light cycles, grown in value soil, been exposed to the elements and although I know it could be a million times better she's turned out to be a great strain.
I almost feel like she is my child... I just wanna show her to everyone, I'm a proud ganja mum! :bigjoint:
The other half has quit smoking weed now and he isn't that interested in talking about my plants. I've just started a 12/12 from seed, She (hopefully) is showing strong Indica leaves so i'm looking forward to growing her. Might even try an LST on her too.
After that i'm gonna buy some seeds so at least i know what i'm dealing with instead of random bagseed.
