alright this is my plant brick weed bag seed grow , switched her to 12/12 9 weeks ago (i know this has taken ages) they started to show pre flowers/little hairs on the 4th week of 12/12 so really only been 5 weeks of flowering. but i still think they should be a little more developed :/ but i'm still waiting. there in soil using some nutes NPK ratio= 5.5-5-7.5 < well that's what i think it is don't really know what it means. i am growing them outside mostly but at night i take them indoors to regulate time cycle and in the morning and on rainy days i use my grow box which only has X2 20W and X1 45W cfl bulbs both red spectrum. here they are >>>

Only advice I have for you.. the same advice I give out to all noob growers. READ!

also, your plant is no where near harvest.. far from it in fact. IMO, from the looks of what I could see in the pics.. they have a good solid 7 to 8 weeks left.

but as I mentioned a second ago, go and do some research on your own man.. its the only way you'll learn. Nobody is going to take you by the hand and guide you through the entire growing process. I'm not "attacking" you.. or bashing you, lets go ahead and get that out of the way.
Just trying to get you to understand that your going to have to pretty much teach yourself how to grow.
Be patient though.. patience is one of the key elements of growing.

Good luck.

peace.

yh i kno i've been reading a lot and a lot. just coming on here for some reassurance because my plant has been soooo slow flowering. the time ppl have been telling me doesn't change for every time i post new pics :/ and i don't think it will be getting frosting its apparently 100% sativa and someone told me i wont be seeing hardly any frosting.
whats the hairs turning brown, i kno this happens at the end of flowering but im kno where near?
and any ideas on yield ?

I agree you have at least another month. But your plant should be farther along by now. I would think either the high amount of N in your food is still promoting new growth which is slowing down flowering or you have a light leak. Personally lean towards a light leak as even a heavy N feeding shouldn't slow them down that much. And the fact you mentioned it took 4 weeks to start flowering. Either that or you have one of those that never really flowers correctly.I think I would go insane if one of mine took 15 weeks in 12/12

The hairs turn brown when you touch them sometimes. The oils from your hand wear out the feelers on the hairs so it kills the hair off and shoots out another one in search of pollen.
You are flowering it outside and with CFLs. I've not grown outside, but from what I understand there is no rushing mother nature. I don't think a strain grown outdoors can be given a timeframe. (I could be wrong on that.)
Your plant is growing fine. Slow, Yes. But it looks good and healthy. You have white hairs, that means you have a girl. This time of year (depending where you are) I would just give up trying to regulate and throw it outside until its ready.
But yes, I would say your still a minimum of probably 6 weeks still to go. But there is nothing apparently wrong with the plant from what I can see.
If you snapped a stem you should be fine. Either tape it and it will heal, or just rip the broke piece off and have a good grow.

thanks for the info but if i put it outside full time it would be getting around 16 or 18 hours of light i think the light cycle changes to 12/12 around september so still a long wait. and i've taped the stem and its been ages since its broken and no wilting etc so i think it will b fine

As it is now I think you would yield around a 1/2oz, it looks like it has a ways to go, if all goes well you may close in on 2oz.
