First Grow, When Can I Expect Results

Ok, this is my first grow and I'm not for sure exact date but I believe I planted this seed about 32 days ago. It's an auto flowering super skunk. And I think it's doing pretty well so far... But what are your opinions? My lights are 3 55w CFLs angled around the plant, my soil is miracle grow (I know I know it's not good for mj, but it's all I had and i won't make the mistake again but I WILL NOT risk damaging the plant to transplant it to a different soil, I believe the plant will produce sufficiently as it sits), I'm running a fan on it as well as a timer to kick the lights off after 18 hours a day.. As well as to how I'm doing, I was also wondering how long do you guys think it will take before buds start to form on my little guy.

Your plants look really nice, my only suggestion would be more lights especially for the flower stage

Hey Junior, you got to learn how to post your pics vertical.
PS: never refer to your plants as "my little guy"

I have to agree, and i speak for every sane grower out there. Calling your plants "guy", refering to it as a male, IS A NO NO! Unless ur a breeder. MALES DO NOT PRODUCE BUDS.

But ya, looks good, more light.

I'd learn to keep detailed records of your grows.

First grow? 1 month old? I'd be fine with that.

You're doing great in my opinion. Don't worry about the MG hysteria. Your plant is obviously fine with it.

Nice job.

Actually.... I was keeping an everyday log noting all of its progress compared to what I was doing. I've been doing it sparingly less because the growth is much harder to note day by day on so many different stems and leaves but every three or four days or when I think about It I note the progress along as taking pictures. My thought process was to compare this plant with future grows progress to see what yields the most, and the most potent bud I can get. I have noticed small brown spots on some leaves of the bottom leaves (no new or recent spreading of brown spots has occurred for relatively about 15 days) but they haven't gone away... I have read potassium deficiency may be a cause but also overwatering??? I thought this might be a more probably cause as my leaves at exhibiting slightly droopy "baggy" textured leaves so I'm trying to cut HER down. But would a potassium deficiency be possible?
