1st Grow / pix / Assistance?

Hi,

This is my first ever grow. I started with 2 plants; 1 was a male, the other a female. took care of the male before the female began flowering so no seeds on the female. Attached are a few pictures of the female. I have no idea what variety it is - any opinion would be appreciated.

Have some questions...

A) This has been grown outside throughout the summer. I am thinking about bringing this inside to finish the flowering/budding process. Should I do this or not?

B) Curious about starting a very small room somewhere safe, away from my property. Going to do it 'easy'. I have exterior limitations thus am forced to only use 1 or 2 fluorescent tube lights (40W I believe) (cool white or deluxe white) that I can plug in (not hardwired). I know more light is recommended through higher powered lamps but I need to stick with the fluorescents. Anyone have inexpensive but useful information/recommendations for this? I have read a lot about indoor growing & am not looking for anything but 'the basics'. Going to start with (possibly) bringing in the female from the outside then grow some clones or just from seed...

C) The plant, as judged from the pictures... how is the flowering thus far? It has been about 4 weeks since it began. The pictures were taken last week or so. I know to wait for the hairs to turn amber & whatnot but any idea when harvest would be? This is in the midwest.

Thank you for your input.

Leave her outside there is no better light than the sun.

By the looks she has at least another month to go, do not go by the pistols color. go by the color of the trichromes. By what I see she has not even begun to ripen so be patient and keep updating.

Any idea what kind she is? I honestly haven't a clue. She's about 14"...

Aloha, Gasping

That's good advice from J. G.

14"?
Planted late?

Looks like a mostly Sativa hybrid, or Mexican bagweed, or
White Phantom Haze Pupleishious Widow Gum.:D

Am I messing with you?
Yes, a little.:)

I doubt if anyone could tell you about her genetics from a photo of an immature plant.
The good news is, it's a girl, "it's alive, it's alive," and healthy too!:thumbsup:
Looks good for 4 weeks.

Now comes the fun part. I can see the "frost" starting on the bud leafs.
She should have some scent as well.
So, how does she smell?

Think I'll hang around and watch this one.

Good luck,

All right so it makes sense to keep it outside for as long as I can. Temps have been hitting around 65 to 40 at night as of late so I want to make sure things are going to be ok in that department. First freeze right around Halloween in my kneck of the woods.

She was planted in mid May I suppose that is a little late. It's good to know that it looks ok for 4 weeks flowering; I thought it was not a lot of flower/bud at this point (judging from online pix I have seen)...

If I needed to - would it make sense in a few weeks to bring her inside & use some fluorescent lights going 12/12 to complete the budding process? I read quite a bit online via guides about what to do, techniques & whatnot....?

Thanks for the advice fellas. I shall leave her outside for as long as I can.

First is she in a pot now? well she will be if you bring her inside.

I would recomend bring her in when it gets realy cold at night. Then put her back out when it warms up. You can use florals when needed if it remains cold.

Just a sugestion BOL

have you thouhgt about cfl's they are compact and you can get the right light spectrum and boom da dankness

White Phantom Haze Pupleishious Widow Gum.. Hahahaha!!!

I think you should leave them outside to finish. As has been said before, there's no better light than the sun.
These plant appears to be just beginning flower... It will start filling out in a couple weeks. I would estimate 4-6 more weeks til harvest... But definitely check the trichs and let that be your guide.

If you still want to try an inexpensive indoor grow, I suggest CFLs and hempy buckets.... :D

If you do get CFL's use warm white for flowering and daylight for the vegetative stage.

Attached are some pictures 12 days later (than the pictures above)... I think she is progressing nicely(?) - plenty of sunlight & the nights have been not too bad for temperature... Still have some time to go on it though...

Not sure if it is important, but, I should add that I have a prescription for medicinal marijuana in California. Work brought me out to the midwest for a small period of time here. I know I'm not supported <legally> in this State but I wonder if it has been argued in a court of law about legality of use in one state versus another where it is not? I'm sure that one would lose in court but still curious?

I have seen someone try that only to get slapped even worse. But that is where I live, and I don't see it becoming a MM state EVER or until the fed makes them and I don't see that happening anytime soon. The case I saw the judge just laughed at him and said "this is {state} not California" and gave him the max for possession (1 year) then said "you can appeal and I recommend you leave that card in California because it means nothing here".

Basically the Judge was saying "how dare you try and hide behind that excuse in my courtroom" and decided to give him the max knowing he would appeal it inorder to get the proper sentence and cost him a huge amount of money for the lawyers on the appeal.

Sucks that people with power can act like that but they are out there.
