My little lady needs a new home, what do?

So first things first, I only have one plant growing currently. It has been in flower for roughly 5 weeks now and is female (obviously). She is outside, and that's the problem. Starting at the end of this week the sunlight hours will too much and she may go back into veg. I don't want this, so what should I do?

I'm thinking of just putting her in a box inside under 50w cfls. I know this isn't much light but she already has some bud on her and I just want her to finish up, not really concerned about yield.

With that being said, here is some pictures (taken a week ago):

So if I stick her under 12/12 50w CFL's, will she finish up? I mean nothing should stop her, right? and I probably wouldn't see much more bud form if I put her under the CFL's, correct?

Thanks in advance for any help!!
+rep to good posts (as always)!!!
 
Cant really see how big she is, but im guessing she is a suitable mother. How about letting her flower cycle finish (if you think she might produce more), harvest, let her get back into veg mode and take some clones? That way you can have perfect little replicas of your healthy lady to grow in doors and control their cycles in the usual indoor way.

This way you dont stress her out by removing her from the great out doors, get some good smoke to keep you going and prepare for the same again for generations to come. I imagine her root ball would be quite big and you may struggle transplanting her at her age.

Just an idea. Good luck!
 
50W of cfl will flower her okay. should be 2700K, imo. throw a cpl of work light type lamps in there with some 26W bulbs, maybe. for insurance.

She isn't that large at all really, that's due to me growing her outside at a bad time of year. When I sprouted the seed, the sunlight was already at 12/12, so she's technically been flowering since day 1. and she has only been topped once. I expect roughly an eighth out of her maybe.

I'm mostly worried though that if I leave her outside she is going to go back into vegetation (due to the hours of the sun), and not even finish up what buds she has on her now. I'm not even sure how much longer she has to go. =/

Any ideas anyone?

Edit: and oh yeah, she is planted in a 1 gallon net pot. So if I need to move her inside it won't be a problem.
