I don't have any lights, first time grower, was just trying to learn by doing. I have a friend I may be able to give her to so she can finish. She has a wonderful sweet, fruity smell though.

Ya its gonna be way premature even if you let it grow another month, which it just doesn't have the time for, bring it in if you can grow season is wrapping up. A hearty strain could make it another month but trust me that's rare you need to bring her in soon. You'll start to notice a reddish brown on your leaves if you go too long.

Hey TheQuantumMechanic, dont let it go, keep her... I had some outside and brought them in because of a threat of a tropical storm/hurricane. Walmart has reflectors for like 8 bucks, pick up a couple of them..here http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bayco-8.5-Clamp-Light/14003467.... amazon has a cfl for 60 bucks... http://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Hortic...44348603&sr=1-3&keywords=cfl+grow+light+2700k... do that with a couple of 42 watt cfls in those walmart reflectors and put it in a spare closet... with the cfl's you can put them 2 inches from the plant and in a month she should be good...I wont give up on mine and you shouldn't either... its worth the investment... maybe not the ideal light but affordable... I also tossed in 4 LED's from amazon to boost the red...

It's worth the investment if you plan on doing more grows, you realize she's only gonna produce a quarter of dry bud.

True New Age United... good point.... guess I figured once you catch the bug of growing it doesn't go away... got ahead of myself...

Well I live in Colorado, so I will be growing next year. but thanks guys, Mount in particular, I can probably grab some of those lights you suggested. This is from an OZ of what I was told was Blue Dream. Even if I only get a 1/4 thats cool, Ill take it.

Amazon prime is kick butt, 2 days and you get almost anything ya want... Growing is fun and can be very rewarding... there are way better options for lights, I kept my first round cheap, but will invest properly once I get the program down.. I hope everything goes well for you, let us know how things turn out... if ya order lights, check out a 30x-60x magnifier too, you will want that to check the trichomes for harvest... I like this article, but this site has some great threads on harvest too... http://www.alchimiaweb.com/blogen/harvest-marijuana-plants-trichome-ripeness/
