Not sure if you are, but you need to give it 12hrs light and 12hrs dark. It also looks very starved for food, giving it some bloom nutes would help her out alot. Other then that she looks normal.

Maybe trim off those bottem leaves since they look dead.

you should add a shot of (N) to them for now and then start them on some bloom nutes as your plant seems to be flowering already the nute you mentioned could help with your leaf yellowing but you need to get some bloom nutes going as well and the nutes you have are grow nutes at that ratio if you are strapped for cash go to walmart home depot or lowes and get you some alaska bloom nutes for about 6.99$ if you are ok with cash go online or to a near by hydro store and get the fox farm trio but what ever you do do it pretty quick she looks good now but hungry..Peace pot prosperity..
She looks like she could be a nice plant take care of her..Also i have used alaska nutes on my first grow not bad...

thanks alot guys, right now its 11/13. would mg all purpose 12-4-8 be alright? or something 10-10-10?

Bloom nutes would be something like 5-15-15, or 4-12-8. These are just examples, as you want to feed the plant with low nitrogen during flowering and higher (P)hosporus and (K) potassium. I wouldn't use MG brand nutes as they can burn your plant if you give too much by accident.

Skip the bloom nutes for now, until you pump some N into that plant. Go with veg ferts for about 2 weeks and get the deficiency under control first. That 12-4-8 should be perfect.

well vigoro is still high in (N) right now your plant just needs a shot or two of (N) to help your yellowing, after that you will need true flowering nutes to help with that cycle. I've used alaska and for the price did great job, they also have alaska grow that dont burn your plants..

Yes you should flush. You should flush your plants every-so-often anyways, at least I do.

Depending on strain you plant could grow to 10 feet tall...lol, but that's very unlikly in a small grow. Expect 0.5X-3X the size she is now. Some strains won't grow much in flowering but fill out, other's will stretch alot.

Dude you need to put it in direct sunlight for 12 hrs a day not a minute longer and for the other 12 hrs put it in your closet and leave it there don't open the closet until 12 hrs is up if this is a prob get a cardboard box big enough u can set it in there and close it up without hurting the plant and give her some nuts ASAP the plant is yellowing because it is essentially eating itself not to much just what you would normally feed a plant which for me is 6 oz of a 20-20-20 nut solution which is 1 tsp of powdered nuts in 1 gal of water once a week for me is Friday and when you see some brown pistils about 30% start flushing nuts and feed it only water for the last couple weeks.

and if you want to keep some growing my advice would be once you get the nute DEF in control cut a clone off one of the better surviving lower branches
