looks good
no weed psychics here sorry.
water the dirt till run off happens, only when the dirt is dried to almost the bottom.
if you keep the plant under vegging cycle lights)18 to 24 hours a day on she may never flower.
if you change the light schedule to 12 on and 12 off flower will be initiated and you'll see proof of sex within a couple weeks
likely. you can flower at anytime, you plant may double or triple in height, so judge your space and controls and flower
and an appropriate size for your situation, thats what we all do

I'd say it's leaning towards sativa .. far as what kind is anyone's guess.. the plant looks good, but needs a bigger pot asap.. and try to stay away tapered pots.. they waste space and you loose out on root space so opt for a pot with straight sides.. like o.p. said, you can initiate flowering any time..

Looks fine so far, maybe a bit hot with those burnt, curled tips. Nothing I would stress about, right now. Ditch that tinfoil though, dude, and get some mylar safety blankets for the walls. You can get a blanket at Walmart in the camping section, that's 6x6 (I'm pretty sure), for like $1.50. It will reflect the light probably 30-40% better than that foil.

truly the plant could be anything . before testing showed that big fat leaves and skinny leaves dont mean shit i would of called it a sativa but now it could be anything.
water when soil starts to get dry flowering can take from 6 weeks to 14+ as we dont know its genetics

Do you have a link to that study? Not saying it doesn't exist, but I'm interested in reading it.

Not sure of the rates in your area, but in most places electricity is cheaper during the night, so I generally recommend 7PM to 7AM for lights on 12/12 and 4PM to 10AM for 18/6.

depending on your expectations its all good.
12/12 will show sex usually within the first two weeks. Environment, health etc can alter that.
air exchange is a good think. consider larger containers, high quality soil and an organic source of nutrients for best results.
its about to get serious so get prepared. a grow bible is a necessity right now for your best outcome.

pretty much the same advice as all the above.
no one can guarantee anything at this stage, but i'd bet a dollar that's a sativa, which means it'll grow fairly tall in veg, then at least double when you flip it. they also usually have long flower times, i'd expect that to go at least a full three months.
clay pots are bad, they absorb moisture form your medium, and can host mold and mildew.
aluminum foil isn't a very good choice as well, it isn't nearly as reflective as it seems to your eye, and it can focus light on tight points that will burn spots on your plants. panda film or mylar are pretty good choices, as is plain flat white paint. i use killz flat white primer with the anti-fungal added to it.
if you keep it on 12/12, it'll start to flower as soon as its able to. not sure what your goal is there, if you want it to grow for a while and get some size on it, you need to change your light cycle to something like 18/6. if you want it to go as quick as possible and be smaller, keep it like it is.

the more light you can cram in there, the better, i'd look at some T5HO lights if you have a few bucks to spare, they'll give you a lot better results than cfls, or those small led bulbs.
a fan can't hurt, but don't have it blowing directly on the plants, better to have it blowing between the tops of you plants and your light, than right on the plants.

Shit didn’t got real but worse I had to cut leafs it’s dry and crumbled here is the current situation
My process following at day time 30watt led
At nite 50watt led
Water every 12hour
Any hope
It looks done to me
Growing in winter is tough I believe
There goes my first marijuana tree!

your soil looks like mud, don't water every 12 hours...thats not a good idea. i'd go get a bag of perlite, add at least 25% to that soil, and repot it. you only water when the soil in the pot feels very dry, when the pot feels very light. the roots need time to dry out and stretch a little, looking for more water, if you keep them wet all the time, they'll never grow, and eventually rot
i'd also use both of those lights all the time, it won't hurt anything as long as you place them properly. neither one are really strong enough to grow a whole plant through flower, you'll probably have to supplement them by the time you get there
also, plants want to grow upwards, if you can arrange it so that light is about 6 inches or so above your plant, you'll get better results.better to use lst to get them in the shape you want, than trying to get them to grow towards the light on their own

I don't grow with A11 bulbs, but from what I know, the 50W replacement is actually between 6.5 and 7.5 watts. That is not enough light. Also, unless it is an auto-flower, you don't want 24 hours of light. Changing from 30W to 50w back and forth does not help anything. It needs the night time without lights to "sleep." Water only when the dirt is dry one inch below the surface. Water just until there is runoff. Hang the light over the plant as Roger said. Increase the wattage significantly. You should have between 15 and 50 watts per square foot. So at that stage, a minimum of 15 watts (or two to three of those lights you have there. Use a reflector (stove burner insert or foil) to focus the light down on the plant. Be 100% consistent on the light timing. 18 hours on and six hours off at exactly the same time every day.
