Today the bigbud is a bit over 38cm (~15").

I'll probably induce a 12/12 photoperiod in the next day or two. After reading responses, I'm not too worried about the water anymore. I appreciate the comments and suggestions.

During the first 3-4 days of this plant's life, a friend was supposed to water it. Long story short, it didn't happen and I came back to two plants that were about short, wilted, yellow and lying flat on the soil. When I got back, I gave it some water and within a day it was looking good. You're right... they really are!

edit, I'll keep the pictures updated!
