Expiremental Grow

I live in a northern climate so its far too late to plant outside but I have been growing a plant in a 16oz red cup sitting on a window sill for six weeks. At my latitude there is less then 11 hours of sunlight right now and by thanksgiving it will be around 9. As an experienced grower I know i'm doing everything wrong to have a successful grow. To my surprise yesterday I positively identified my plant as a female. I was shocked that bagseed in such horrid growing conditions not only is somewhat thriving but also is female.

Anyways since its just growing on a window sill in my room I cannot transplant to a larger pot due to space limitations. I've had 3 successful indoor grows of 4 plants but now i'm just experimenting. Anyone have any idea of what I can expect from this. I'm thinking that with such diminishing sunlight the plant will mature rather quickly.

I'll post pictures in a couple hours when I take some.

Um you can always transplant it, i would recommend cutting the 16oz container you have it in halve . Also 9 hours of light isnt really going to cut it it's going to hurt your yield bad. I know what you mean by the weather as i live up north too. I would recommend running to your superstore and buying a few cfls like 5 23watt or more. Try to get two different spectrums (Lumens) like one 5500 and other 4700 mix it up. Plants love the difference and finish your grow with that. It doesnt take a lot of work and it will be worth it. And some pics would be nice

Tried to grow many a plant on a windowsill growing up in Alaska. Never worked, the season changes and the short days put the sun so low on the horizon not enough power got through to grow the plant. Quits growing while in veg, just stopped. During really nice falls it would get skinny, then stop.

You have done indoor grows, treat the window like a 23 watt CFL except for the short time the sunlight is directly on the plant. At 60 degrees north that is the equivalent number around halloween.
Let me add.
My windows never faced south when I was young. Plus my room was always cold. And the fact all my efforts were bagseed also, no way to tell if they were all southern strains. If one had been a northern strain would I have been smoking by december?

Second the motion for pics should it work.
