Now silly nub question but do those eventually turn into the bud? Also from this point do you think she will be ready by thanksgiving if not the whole thing a side bud or 2?

Thanksgiving? I'd say no, but it will all depend on your plant. Depending on the strain, your looking at 8-14 weeks of flower. that's a wide spectrum, but 8 weeks minimum.

Just say the day, lol, too many of us roll around the forums high. Doing math is the LAST thing on our minds. Looks like she's got some strong branches, but think about trimming what needs to be trimmed. i.e. where do your lights sit? My lights are set into individual lamps, 5, 4 on each corner and one on top. I've read with CFL's that is more productive for the wattage you use.

42 actual watts lowes had them on sale for 7 bucks . But i wish i would have got the 63 watt ones but they were 14 bucks a peace. I will keep my 42 watters as side light and i am buying a 150 watt hps soon

Keep it til you know its not gonna make it, and then try to replant that single one in a different pot and see if you can keep her growing. Shultz TakeRoot works really well with helping develop roots. Experiment with it!

Ok thanks for the input. Guess we will see what happens i hope the plant heals itself cuz the branch that's broke is pretty big

Whoa man, I went through all this thread and checked out the progress, you are really doing very good work. I wish my first grow went like this... Gratz. You said Lilly is genetically more sativa, but yeah it does look more like indica :) a lot of leaves and all bushy.. Did you do any training like supercropping or lst? Really good work, thumbs up. By the way if you still do not have it, get your self a magnifying glass, I would say the one that zooms 45 times, cause once resin start to appear on leaves and buds, you are going to want to look at those crystals more closely. I got myself x30 its already very nice, especially when you make picture of this zoom, so you can zoom in even more. And you can find one on ebay for 4bucks or less I guess... Keep on journaling it, looking forward for the progress :)
Cheers

It's also very nice for me to see somebody growing under cfl and having this kind of result and journaling it from the first day not just posting the harvest picture or starting from somewhere in the middle of process :) So far I have seen people suggesting to get HPS and MH lamps, I do believe that it would make a big difference, but common.. not every growing place can afford it due to the stealth, heat and price issues.. This time I took a strain sativa only, so planning on my first training experience. Properly done it not only saves growing space but also increases yield...
Do you have any plans on how you are going to treat her for upcoming 4 weeks? Like at some point cutting the nutes feeding, flushing or something? Do you use/used fan for your girl? Cause I am wondering if one plant needs it for other reason than strengthening the stem. Do you control your ph or simply use tap water?
