need help asap

Alright so I have one Lil lady growing outside, and the seasons having changed yet still getting about 14-13 hours of day light, so I've been putting a box over her every night around 730 and take it off in the morning at 730. I didn't cover it tonight because I won't be home in the morning to uncover, so some I'm a good month in flowering and the sun went down after 8pm and will rise around 6am will this cause my plant to herm? Super stoned right now I hope I got everything

Also when will the buds swell like I said earlier I'm a good month maybe month and a half after signs of sex shown

Im not sure as far as hermieing. I think as far as disrupting light schedules it would take more than one day. And as for the the buds they usually fatten up in the last few weeks of flowering as long as they get enough p and k. Your plant looks to be sativa also which usually has a longer flowering period. But dont take my word on all that cuz i am a newbie as well. Good luck ghetto.

I do appreciate the input, not sure of the strain it's bag seed. I switched her the week in August maybe the first of September, so less than a month I suppose I have a whole month to go

I also have a bagseed going that idk what it is. I figure ill just play it by ear cuz i switched to flower schedule 2 weeks ago and still dont know sex. Its frustrating but im hoping to see soon.

Yeah brother, I asked my good friend who has been growing for years about your question, and he said if your genetics were good then you have a couple days of wiggle room. Your plants look healthy so I personally think you'll be fine. I've messed up my light cycle on indoor because of a bad timer, but it all worked out with no herms.

Thanks a lot guys, really eased my nerves about this. But before I got all this sweet info I thought I came up with a easy solution by putting here in the shed about 2 hours before the sun goes down and bring her back out sometime in the middle of the night that way she gets the full 12 he's off darkness and she isn't missing out on any sunlight... Well I tried it last night, put her in the shed around 530pm and took her out at 1130pm. Well while I thought it was a great I idea turns out as I open the shed the other neighbors backyard spot light skinned directly into the shed on my plant, I rushed as fast as I could and sweat only a Lil bit of light touched her for about 12 seconds... Am I OK or am I just causing more and more confusion and stress so what's done is done. Any input on this?

Her buds haven't grown much if any at all the past 3 days, I'm wondering if it's because of the light cycle stress I put her thru?

She looks very nice and healthy to me. Its probably along thr lines of what i said before about her being a sativa. They have longer flowering periods but tend to have larger yields. Just get your light schedule steady and under control and let her do her thing. I know its not what you want to hear but the buds will fatten up when they are ready. Its a terrible waiting game. I feel your pain i still dont have any signs of sex after over 2 weeks of 12/12. Good luck.

Thanks bro. You know, because I'm so impatient, I like to gradually decrease the amount of light and increase the dark each other week from veg to flower and I see signs within a day or two from 12/12... So I go 24/0 first two weeks, than 18/6 another two weeks, than 16/8, 14/10 and by the time I get to 12/12 they are a decent size and within a couple days I see sex. Don't know if it's the technique or luck you tell me lol just my second grow, first grow never made it to harvest because my crazy ex gf

This is my first grow basically a trial run with cfls. I went 18 and 6 for 3 weeks now 12 and 12 for about 2 and a half weeks and still nothing so idk what it could be. I dont have light leaks and the plant itself is healthy as can be as far as i can tell. But just like in your case it is a terrible waiting game and im just hoping it is a girl.
