Hard to tell how old it might be, bud. Depends on if your friend grew it from seed or clone, what kind of lights he was using, etcetera ad infinitum. But it looks like it's definitely mature enough to flower if you're ready to do it. One thing to keep in mind about these amazing plants is that they may triple in size during flowering. They can get absolutely huge, and fast.

Check out that FAQ link I posted, and find 'preflowers' or 'preflowering'. That's one method of figuring out maturity, alternating nodes is another. You don't want to force flowering too early, which can really stress the plant, and won't even work unless the plant is ready to flower. Yours definitely looks mature enough to flower, by the way.

You'll get to all this, and a lot more, as you keep reading up on the subject. If you're planning to flower soon, definitely read up on lighting, photoperiod, bloom nutrients, grow room conditions, etc., and you'll get a good idea what all needs to happen in order to make things happen.

Take care. :jointsmile:
Mr. Clandestine Reviewed by Mr. Clandestine on . First Time grower.. any advice? Hey everyone, I am totally new to indoor growing, and after some research, this site has the most knowledgeable forum contributions IMO so here I am. Anyways, I have always entertained the idea of growing my own bud, but until 3 days ago I have not attempted it. I received a plant as a gift from a close friend and I gladly accepted. I currently have it in my closet inside a cardboard box lined with foil. It was in a much smaller pot when I first got it, but we transferred it to a larger Rating: 5
