I'm about to lose a plant to wind and cold.

I planted this plant amongst a patch of Queen Ann's Lace back in late April. Needless to say, it was out of sight and forgotten. The weeds protecting it from the weather have since died, and it's being destroyed by our South wind, not to mention it's now visible.
It looks to be about 2-3 weeks away from being ripe, but I don't think it'll make it that long outdoors. Also, I have no idea what strain it is. A friend enjoyed its parent and asked me to make him some more.:-o This is the last of 7 plants, and the others were good enough that I hate to see it wasted.

It's never been watered or been given any nutrients, but that said it looks pretty healthy.The soil comp. here is fairly sandy, great for growing -anything-, but that also means the roots will have spread like a wild fire.

My questions are:
Would it survive being transplanted to my greenhouse?

If it can be transplanted, should I put it under a grow light? (I've got some el cheapo' Lowes brand 120w spot-grow lights).

How deep will the trunk root dig? Its siblings were cut over a month ago, and have since been mowed over so I can't pull them.

What strain is it?

shameless bump
Seriously, I'd like to take a backhoe to this little guy and get it out of the weather. I was really hoping for someone with more experience to either guide me, or stop me cold. I've transplanted before, but never this late in the year... and never anything this valuable.
 
It's hard to tell strain just by pictures and she definitely needs more time to finish up. If you can make the transplant as less stressful as possible, I'd say why not and try to get it under some lights. I'm not sure if it would effect anything, but I would try to keep your lights as close as possible to how she's getting natural light now.
 
I transplanted it to my greenhouse a week ago, but it doesn't look like it's going to make it. The fan leaves have either died or are turning yelllow/brown and the pistols are drooping.

I pulled it out of the greenhouse yesterday and built a primitive grow box out of left-over p.v.c pipe, cardboard and mylar; gave it a half dose of Nitrozime and stuck it under a couple 40w florescents. I know these arent the right bulbs, but I figured they'd at least keep it out of the cold (it's getting below freezing on some nights).

I have a ballast and exhaust fan mounted on top of the box. In the next few days I'll hire an electrician to run the wire and mount some decent reflectors, but it looks like that'll end up being for future grows. The lighting that is... the box will be trash the first time it gets wet.

My question now is: If I chop this plant, will it be any good? The pistols all have red tips but are mostly white. Trichome colors vary from clear to milky with a few amber here and there, and there are still some pretty big empty spots in the cola.
