First Indoor Flwing

Hello everyone. I have a few outdoor capers under my belt but I have never tried to flower indoors untill the winter duldrums got to me this year.

I started 6 bagseeds in plastic shotglasses. All six sprouted and they were moved under 5 23w CPF lights and a small cpu fan, but do to neglagence on my part all but two were dead in the first two weeks (forgot to water them.)

After 3 or 4 weeks passed I transplanted the two survivers into 1qt. pots.

After a breif period of transplant shock both plants took well to the new pot space and stacked on a couple of nodes.

After about 3 more weeks I put the both plants on a shelf in my southern facing skylight. This time of year the nights are long enough to trigger flowering.

On plant grew vigerously and was topped(FIMmed) while the other stayed spindely and thin.

After 3 or so more weeks the small plant, after streaching a great deal, started showing male preflowers and was promptly executed.

About 3 more weeks passed and the last plant still had no preflowers. I feared that me and my wife turning on the bathroom light at night was keeping it from flowering.

I bought a light timer and put the plant back under the CPF on a 12/12 cycle and made sure there could be no interuptions to its dark period.The last plant was successfully FIMmed and has 8, health growth tips. A few days ago I noticed pistiles and in the last few days they have been piling on thicker and thicker.

I will post pics of the female in the morning. My cam is out of batteries.

Yeah. My forte is outdoors under the big HPS in the sky. I usually start seeds in early spring under CPF then move them outdoors after a couple weeks.

This is my first attempt at a fully indoor harvest. Its been a challenge due to, if nothing else than a none existant budget. But it's really fun. Especially since the plant is in that magical stage of preflowering. I love t look at it every day.
