Guidance with Tangerine Dream???

I popped a single seed that I acquired in one of attitudes specials... as usual I was clicking away on strains without doing very much research...lol! So, long story short, I now have a very healthy plant in my veg tent which until I topped it tonight was roughly 15" tall or so... topped her just above the fourth node and took the top and cleaned her up, into the clonex, etc, in case the plant proves to be a keeper.
Since I plan on flowering the plant soon I decided to do some research on grow reports, etc... and I'm not thrilled with what I'm reading because I MOST definitely have a very sativa dom plant and it looks like she may take forever to flower (according to my reading) and I'm not sure I'm going to have the room for this.
anybody ever get involved with a plant that they can't quite accommodate??? I'm not one to throw in the towel but at the same time I don't want a plant that's going to take forever to finish and possibly not be worth the effort:( I've read 20 or so grow reports and I swear it's a 50/50 split.... some people love TD.... others dread the day they ordered the seeds~
I guess I'm just looking for some feedback... some advice... some tips... anything!!! lol~
ty for taking the time to read and possibly respond my friends...

I have one just finishing after a total of 13 weeks from 12/12 flip. I did a ub topping on it n got 4 colas. It didnt branch much but tbe buds are very fat and Rock hard under a 357 mag led. It doesn't like lots of nutes n any shading will sometimes cause stunting . Prob will get 1 1/2 from it. I have clones waiting for another run

def hoping I dont have a pheno looking for 13 weeks flowering... but if I do and the plant is healthy I know I'm just going to make it work somehow.... do you have pics by chance??? I guess I should probably take a shot of mine so you guys can see what I'm talking about... last time I saw leaves like this I went WELL over 100 days flowering on some skunk/haze freebies and honestly it wasn't worth the effort:(

ok... just snapped a pic but keep in mind I topped and did some lollipopping only about an hour ago... aside from a few burnt tips she looks pretty good... the flash is playing with the leaf colors a bit... its a pretty good shade of green throughout~
Just wanted you to see those skinny sativa leaves which are scaring the shit out of me...lol!~ as I said, last time I saw them I had an ugly stepchild I nurtured through flowering for over 100days and the end was NOT worth the means...

* honestly the picture doesn't really show how skinny the leaves are.... I tried to get a good pic but it's not really a good representation

I do have pics. Will post from computer in am. Remember this is a sativa Dom plant. It may take longer than your normal hybrid

well The TD has been in 12/12 for 5 days now about a week after doing some lollipopping and supercropping.... canopy is now fairly even and she seems happy in her 5gal smartpot.
Snapped a few pics.... still cant get over the leaf structure on this plant.... very sativa influenced and probably the smallest I've ever seen.... I put the quarter in there so you could get an idea of just how small they are. You'll also see a Sugar Punch in the background that has been flowering for about 4 weeks... smells are incredible from that big momma!!!!

not much interest in this thread I guess but I'll keep updating in case somebody comes along looking for the same guidance with this strain that I am:)
