Surprise Plant, need help

so i was in my backyard a few weeks ago and to my surprise i had a little lady flowering all by herself i didnt know she was even growing so i didnt have a chance to monitor or even water her,
this picture is what she looked like when i found her, i ended up transplanting her into a bucket (which i was told was a bonehead move, which it was..) thing is i have some of the top buds that look ready with orange "hairs" but on the lower nodes i have pistols with all "hairs" that are still white. i dont even know how many weeks shes been flowering.
just need some advice on what to do to make sure i dont mess up the tiny amount of buds she has. keep in mind i didnt plant this seed or watch it, if i had i wouldve vegged it more but shes a baby. ive been watering her since i found her, aprox. 2-3 weeks. these last two pics are about a week old.


full time stoner, first time grower... or harvester lol

This is great haha my advice would be to just keep doing what you've been doing... nothing. She's made it this far by herself so all she needs you for is to eventually chop her down and enjoy.

She's a strong independent plant and she don't need no man

haha alright, but how many more weeks should i give her? i dont have the 30x magnifier to check the trichomes

Where abouts is she growing??

It could take another 2-4 weeks, it doesn't look very resinous in those pics.

It looks like she's growing right next to your back patio, I'm assuming you never spend any time in your backyard to have missed her growing there.

There appears to be very little trich development so it won't hurt to let her go another month, depending on when you expect your first frost of course. I doubt you'll see any growth over that time, but since you're playing with house money, what's the risk of leaving her in the pot?

trimmed fan leaves, saw new growth, can i still use nutrients ?

I wouldn't I'd be getting ready to dry! that's just what I think and maybe flush with straight water week before pulling/harvesting.

update, i keep seeing new pistols growing here and there and i dont know if im near harvest or the girls are still fattening up, i have orange "hairs" all over, curled in, then new white pistols here and there should i be flushing or ? i know these arent near harvest ... i think

but more towards the top i see all orange/brown yet if you look closely you can spot new pistols
i cut off the top kola to sample (eagerness)


help please, i should be getting a 30x magnifier but my friends a flake.

Next time leave the leaves on!... my guesstament is that you have 3-4 weeks to go before harvest.
