Hello all!

This is my first ever grow and is very low tech, but I am super happy with how my baby (her name is Sofia) is turning out. I want to know how much bud you guys think I will end up with.

Background: I was given Sofia as a seedling back in September as a birthday present. She has been repotted once and is now in a ~15L pot. She is planted in well draining soil, but with no extra additions like coco coir or perlite. Just plain old soil. I am not using lights but she has been grown next to a window or out on the terrace. I live at around 2500m Altitude, and the weather here is quite cold (between 7°C-20°C). Humidity is quite high here, but I have a basic dehumidifier to avoid mould growth. She is currently around her 7th week into flowering (mangobiche is a Colombian landrace sativa and typically flowers between 16-24 weeks), and is about 115cm tall.Her buds are forming niceley, though quite fluffy which I have read is typical of landrace sativas.

I have included pictures. She has a bit of a funny shape because she really has been through the wars. I topped her months ago but was too heavy handed and snapped one of the new branches off. She has also been supercropped in a couple places and partially eaten by a dog haha.

Let me know how much you think she will produce by harvest time!

Lowering your expectations will raise your chance satisfaction.
I'm impressed, with the temps, window light....and still looks pretty good.
you'll likely end up with fluffy buds that dont stone as well as they could have with better, timed light.

increase yields by providing a dark grow area for 12 hours daily.

You are proof of how simple it can be to grow this weed. You're plant looks better than many grown under expensive lights. How have you been feeding it? Whatever you're doing keep doing it. I'm not going to speculate on what your final yield will be. Good job!

Happy Growing!

I fed her a simple NPK 29-8-7 during veg, and now she gets a very occasional 7-28-18. She usually drinks about 1.5L every 4/5 days. I am super happy with her. She has been more of a hobby house plant but I have really enjoyed learning how to grow and I think I will grow another plant at some point. Thanks for your encouragement guys!
