I'm running 375W CFL for a single plant and looks like she loves that.
I've already put nine sprouts in small paper cups
I am planning to transplant them into two liter pots after two weeks and keep till to end.I don't know yet how can I manage a SOG with a big plant already there but I'll try

Day 26 from 12/12 or day 19 from first I saw the pistils clearly.
Which one is true for indoors
I guess she will finish between 56-77 days,that's a huge range for sure so I will check with a magnifier on later periods.
She wasn't so healty before flowering due to soil in my pot and still going with the same soil if I have to confess.
Before next watering I will topdress about half an inch with worm castings from my own worm farm.But also time comes for feeding with bloom nutrients too.
Do you think that will be so strong to use and apply both at the same time ?
And the little sprouts are about 4,3 and 2 days old and going OK under 12/12

Couldn't stop myself after I've seen yellowing at the bottom leaves and sprayed worm casting tea extract two days ago.And I did it while the lights are on and the plants spent more then three hours under the lights.
I'm not sure if this is because of lights or because of worm casting tea extract burnt but the result is this.
The upper leaves are OK will it be enough for photosynthesis ?

Day 39 into flowering
I removed all the damaged leaves below,only popcorn buds with sugar leaves left.
Getting dense day by day.N deficieny still continue.Dried out for 6 days after flush and feeded her two days ago with half dose of grow and bloom nutes.Plain water and molasses for next watering and then again with nutes.
8 weeks or maybe 12 weeks in total means more then a couple of weeks to wait.
I’ve got a hand microscope but it’s so hard to focus with it.I prefer a head high so %20 cloudy thricomes is what I’ll look for.

I also just noticed that this camera is better then the hand microscope although I didn't set up a macro shot.
If I'll stop the fan inside the thricomes will be seen more clear.The air movement makes it harder to focus on leaves.

Because of a thunderbolt I lost the internet connection and I didn’t prefer mobile for some security issues.
Day 54 into flowering for today but the photos below were taken two days ago.Looks like I’ve got a couple of weeks more.I ordered a jewellery loupe because it’s so hard for me to look with a microscope.I’ll fix the loupe to my phone’s cam and try to shoot with it.

Can anyone make a suggestion from the close up shots ? I hate that handy microscope and the loupe is still on the way
I am not sure if trichs are blurred or cloudy.
I am asking that because it seems that the fan leaves are dying and maybe
I have to be quick,but the buds and sugar leaves are fine.
I'm 56 days (8 weeks) into flowering but I was presuming 10 weeks

There still looks to be about 40% clear to me but Im looking on my phone so it's hard to tell.
With the issues you've had, you've done well to get her to here, she'll survive another 1-2 weeks
i'd keep feeding this week and then flush for a week and she should be close to done!

I think you're right,I saw a lot grows without fan leaves at their last two weeks.There still looks to be about 40% clear to me but Im looking on my phone so it's hard to tell.

I'm so surprised too by getting her to final phase.Thanks mate

Yeah man, yours are by no means ruined compared to others ive seen where they've still pulled some good buds, you got nothing to worry about
And no worries dude, happy to help if I can

It's not a big plant and most of the trichs,at least %80,turned into cloudy colour now.I used my new loupe today,pretty much easier,I love it.
.I’ve tested a small popcorn bud from the bottom today,quick dried in 9 hours,it was a good head high that’s still going and makes me happy.I will wait for another week at least.

Did you see any amber trichs? I usually start the flush when I see 10% amber, but thats just me

- Looks nice so far. When will you be getting a stronger source of light? - I'd advise you to go ahead and order an HID lamp. Wattage depends on your space. For example, I run a 400w in a 2x3' area. Happy Growing!

-Looks like a slight N deficiency at the bottom. No big deal atm, but be vigilant of this potential issue -I will keep them on veg one or two weeks more and transplant to their final pots before flowering.
Here are some photos of my unhealty plants
