Hello all, so this is my first time growing a plant, im using natural sunlight that comes through my window so i assumed this would take from spring>fall before she is ready and i just wanted verification that this plant is sill in flowering and is at least a month or two away from being cut down. i have a led jewelers eye piece on its way and will be able to inspect the trichomes better when it gets here. My main concern as the sunlight has not been constant as it would be outdoors; is the pop corn buds on the inside (last photo) is is possible for the outer larger buds to mature and the popcorn buds still just have hairs but no substance? or will it all mature at the same time, and final question i see the hairs sticking out very far (3rd picture) can i assume that the plant matter will fill in the space as tall as the hairs are? i was told this is some kind of kush, i dont have further detail. thank you all in advance for your advice

It looks like it isn't in total darkness during the night...You can't leave lights on around it, or it will keep trying to grow instead of flower...it looks pretty good for a window plant though.

looks good considering its only getting light through that window :) does that room get light at night? that can cause some problems make shure no tv or lamp is on when its dark maby stick it in a closit when it gets dark outside to insure it stays dark. looks nice though

Agree. Looks great for a window plant, but lack of total darkness might be keeping it from going into full bloom.

Be careful if you decide to manually move your plant into a dark area on a daily basis. Erratic periods of light/dark can stress your plant and depending on the strain it can morph (create male tops). I'd hate to see lose it all... Variations in the photo period is best if done gradually.

yea make shure you move it back into the window before the sun even comes up and put it in after it goes down that wouldnt make any eratic changes in the light

Variations in photoperiod is not good!When you change to 12/12 do it and stay.Dont get what Barns trying to tell you.Thats reason i dont have a bunch of window plants got to keep sun and dark period the same eveyday,and moving plants is a bitch.
 
Thank you for all the help. Some great advice here.

I live in a major city so there is no outdoor option that does not involve someone walking off with the tree. I have a bathroom window that gets direct sun from sunup to 9am about, then my bedroom from about 11am-6pm is in the path of the sun so when it was tiny and growing in tropical bonsai soil i would move it every morning into the bathroom and keep it there as long as i could stay and then put it in the bedroom window before i left, i did turn the plant the whole time it was in veg so that it would grow straight and not one way or the other. once i saw buds starting to develop i stopped moving it in the am to try and trick her into thinking it was fall...? i dont know i understand how absurd this process is. so on her best days she was getting 10 hrs direct sun, and in her adult life only 7, so its no wonder the plant is 5 months old and looks like it's 3 months in a grow room. I also only ever added water, diluted urine, and wood ash to the soil.

but you guys made it click for me, i had no idea tv light or 100 watt bulbs on the ceiling of the bedroom could make the plant grow and not flower, i figured since you cant grow a plant with a reg light bulb then they must not reconize that spectrum or something, not sure but it makes sense, when my fiance and i go to be we have the tv on the sleep timer so the plant is getting tv light from like 9-3am and then only really getting 3 hours of total darkness a night, so into the closet she goes from now on, great advice guys, thanks hopefully this speeds up the process and creates a higher yeild.

the sets of leaves on the top of the plant only have 3 fingers. From what i can see this plant is revegging herself *:)

Here is something i found on the topic " With the light's back to the veg cycle and the plant fed, the plant will start to grow new shoots. Usually it takes 2 or 3 weeks before any new shoots are noticed and the growth of the new shoots can look very strange, single leaves will grow aswell as other mutant looking leaves (as seen in the pic below). This is completely normal and after a couple of weeks growth the 'proper' leaves will start to appear."

happy growing :)

Dude you be pissing on em?Wow:oWhy.....Save piss for toilet buy Nutes!!I have heard of some benefit but im not gonna do it.
 
im not actually peeing on the plant mixing pee 1 to 10 parts water hasent seemed to hurt it yet. and ive only done that once a month after the first 8 weeks. anyway i can stop the revegging and get it into full flower? should i cut the light down? it already only sees 7 hours of light so im curious as to why it would be revegging. i guess there is nothing text book to this ghetto grow i started... has anyone ever had a plant reveg? what did you do about it?
