Help with my 12 week auto plant

Hello everyone I was just wondering if you guys can give me a few tips or advice with my plant. Before I start this a closet grow and real budget at that just 1 60w fluorescent desk lamp and distilled water and just recently nutes(started at 10 weeks cause I've heard autos don't respond well to nutes I cannot afford 600w lamps carbon filters etc....... Ok so I have a auto White Russian and it is now on week 12 and I still haven't seen any buds. All the fan leaves have fallen and it looks like its working its way to the second sets of leaves next to the hairs I'm on my 12th week today and the site said 9 even tho I knew that wouldn't be likely I will add pics and I'm sure you guys will laugh but its really all I can afford at the moment my plant is pretty tall kinda like a beanstalk however i just want some input does it look healthy and is it normal that the 2nd set of leaves are curing up and stuff will it still flower if some of those 2nd leaves fall to any help would be very appreciated



*The really brown crispy leaves are the last fan leaves ready to fall

dude that plant is done. probably should of used alittle bit of nutes. and need a better light.

just trash that thing. you would be lucky to get a j out of it.

Sry bud, but your better off saving up for a 150w hps, or getting some budget CFLs and Y adapters n extension cords ect; some cheap slow release nutes/medium. I think your plant is done, although I'm not sure on the dry and cure procedures for a few hits, lol.

I'm in concurrence, shes not dead but just near.
All the pistils have gone orange and died, its a waste of time and energy.
This is why i always say never fuck with an auto. 90 days seed to harvest?
Give me 25-30 days more than that with a reg Sativa and ill out yield you 2:1.

I know it's not a great favorable crop but If it were dying wouldn't it look much worse off I know I prolly won't yield much and that's ok but I'm just wondering if its healthy enough to bloom there are about 12 branches with hairs so something gotta grow out of it right? And I just recently added nutes to her my main question is why is it taking forever to flower up?

Nah, autos flower based on maturity, your plant is matured fully already. It was in "bloom" from seed, and the bloom period has been completed with the limited lighting and food, produced the small yield you see. your passed the flower up time. It shouldn't "grow" or "stretch" 4 inches in one n half days under a desktop lamp, that is a sign of incorrect light spectrum and light intensity being low, not enough lumens for plant so it reaches for more, I'm surprised it didn't fall over actually, but it is a flouro lamp so probably why, if it was incandescent(yellow room light), it would have probably fell over long before.

Damn so what I really don't want to trash it as its been 12 weeks already so it's not worth keeping at all? It has to at least grow some buds?

Sorry buddy, autos will complete their growth regardless of light hour schedule, it was in flower bloom when it came from seed, because it is auto flower plant. You will see normal plants at 2-3 weeks are much shorter and growth more foliage (leaves and bud sights).

Sorry to say it, but like the others have told you, its done, wont grow any more buds. Chop it, get better setup for next time.

Next time use a proper light and you wont waste 3 months of your life waiting for a tiny joint and a bunch of shake. If you cant be bothered or cant afford to invest in a proper setup your not going to get results, simple as that

Thanks for all the input guys I bought good grow light and have it coming 2 days from now hopefully I'm just gonna see if it responds when my new lights and hope its not to late to save her and if not just try again and learn from my mistakes

it is to late to save her im sorry to say, since its an autoflowering plant that is over 3 months old it has already finished tis flowering cycle and will likely die sometime within the next month or so. If it was a photoperiod plant it could in theory be revegged but since its an auto its done. Better luck next time

Is that trainwreck? Not the strain, the plant. Man sorry dude. That thing never had a chance.

Did you fert these while in flower? Just to clarify, the original poster mentioned not fertilizing autos which seems a little odd to me. Is there truth to that?

Not gonna repeat the obvious but we all learn mate so now you can take this experience and learn from it. Better prepare yourself for next time and spend a bit of money on the things that will actually grow you some nice mj. Good luck
