Looking at your pic it looks like a clone taken during flowering but doesn't look like its budding to me. Also looks like you have or had a bug problem from the ate up leaves
 
idk i maybe using the wrng word buh there are lil pistols poppin up on the stems of the awkawrd lookng leaves wit white an red hairs an the bug problem is minimal i chek it everyday so idk bout that 1 i did find a dead baby spider at the back of the leafe so i put in the dirt for more nutriennts lmao... buh uh i chek it daily to make sure no pest eat everythng

If it was a clone from a flowering plant then it will more than likely have hairs comming out of it. They are pre flowers that would also explain some red, orange hairs. What I see on top looks simply like new leaf growth which is good. Mj takes 12/12 lighting to flower unless its an auto which doesn't really matter light times cause they have like a biological clock and flower after x amount of days. Keep watching for bugs cause once you get em they are hard to get rid of. Get some 6500k or daylight cfl bulbs or t5's as many as you can afford and a timer and set your lights on 18/6 on/off and keep your lights within a few 2-3 inches from her and she will start growing. If she is flowering now which it doesn't look like then she will revert back to veg mode and should start getting bigger for you untill your ready to flower her
 
ok thnks she is startng to get alot of newgrowth tho i havnt takn any pikz today i will n the morning buh shes grwng other lil 5 leafs aswell soo is that a bad thng an ive clipped sum of those weird lookng leaves kuz they had lil brwn dry spots on em was that a bad move

5 leaves are a good thing man and cutting off dead or dying leaves is ok just leave the green ones alone since that's how she breathes
 
iight man preciate that... is there anyway for me to tell the strain an if the plant could be some midgrade or high grade it does have a lil cluster of buds at the bottom with chrystals an all... ill post the pik tomottrow for u to chek em out... an the smell is very strong

No about all your going to be able to tell strain wise is indica or sativa and from looking she looks indica shorter wide leaves. Sativas tend to be longer skinny leaves
 
which is better of the two an does that mean my weed maynot be potent or what sorry for all th questions jus tryna learn sme thngs u kno

Which is better is all peronal preference. Indicas are more couchlock stoned sativas tend to be more head high energetic high its all about which high your more into

Forgot to mention you can also make a difference by when you harvest. Cloudy trich's lean towards head and more amber thric's lean towards couchlock
 
well if thatz the case im more use to that sativa strand then havnt had to many of those gewd ol couch highs buh if that what ive got then ill behappy as hell

And in case your unaware the crystals your looking at are your thric's. Get youself a 30 times microscope or higher and you can get a good look at them and tell their colors they go clear, then cloudy then amber colored. I personally prefer more head high so I tend to harvest with more cloudy but sometimes split my harvest. Cut some early give the rest a few more days to week and get more amber ones for my bedtime smoke. Being new I suggest you split it and see which you prefer more

Of course man always love looking at plant/bud porn. And just keep reading in RIU there's a lot of good growers here and its one of those learn as you grow things you will figure it out and always be learning more new things
