ok in order of upload, the LAST pic is when i first got her out of the ground... bout 30 cm high... the 1st one is what she looks like now and the 2nd one is to see if it is male of female... i was using no ferts but it stays sunny here for quite some time and its quite warm, im in Australia and its the end of spring comming into summer, the plant is about 3months old and it gets up 2 38deg here so i let the plant get the 10am - 12 direct sun and the rest just undirect sun light(fence etc) and i began putting Yates Dynamic Lifter plant food on her recently(4 days ago) at 2ml per water of fish emulsion, its organic... it gets watered every other day pretty much....
should i move her into my room and force flower she stands about 1mtr or so high from potplant container and is a skunk strain...
any help tips on how to make her give fat buds appreciated... she has fair thick amount of leaves but i have been pruning the ones that get a lil eaten...
damn bugs. grass hoppers lol
thanks again

Plant it in the ground and tie it down cause I have a feeling you'll be waiting until mid Autumn before it starts to flower. I could be wrong but from my experience growing outdoors in Aust is that it won't finish until April, May, June area. I planted one around Sept and it turned into a monster! Others were planted in Jan.
Weird looking strain by the way. If it doesn't turn out to be male then I think you have more of a sativa type strain on your hands.
What you could do is keep it in a pot and keep it inside in pitch black until 8am, take it outside then bring it back into darkness at 8pm. This way you could be finished by some time in Feb.

The summer solstice on 21 December has the most daylight of the year (around 14.5 hours). I'd bring it inside for 12/12 at least until its budding. Do it until it finishes if you can, I'm not 100% sure but it may start to reveg again if you don't (don't hold me to this). I haven't grown outdoors since 1994-95. I let nature take its course all but one time when I forced a couple of small plants to flower by covering a 44 gal drum with black plastic. If you can't be bothered and time is not an issue, I'd consider planting it in the ground, tying it down and waiting till probably June or so. It will be huge. I had to build up the fence another meter or so even with it tied over.
I'd give it some nutes.. but don't over do it! And give it full sun for most of the day.
