first thing, i think in one of those pics are some pistils, but idk, i see nodes too... i induced flowering because there were alternating nodes, and thats what i read you are supposed to do. So how does she look? comments? the new set of leaves are after i've learned a bunch. my water had chlorine and now it doesnt, so my leaves arent getting chlorine burns, thank god!

here's the link to some pics!

those just look like stipules to me, if it's only day 3 of 12/12 it will probably take a few more days before you can tell the sex. have any better pictures?

here is a pic to help you ID things.

Those "pistils" you're referring to are just new leaf growth coming in. Your plant looks tiny for 5 weeks (no offense). You didn't have to start flowering now. I don't know why you thought that. You can wait as long as you want. It all depends on how much space you can accommodate. If this is your first grow (looks that way), you shouldn't expect much out of this. Use this as a learning experience tho :) I think you'll end up w/ some small nuggets as a reward tho :)

oh its a lowrider x afghan, thats why its so short, and it had a week stem early on, so i put it an inch lower in the dirt... so yeah it does look tiny, and im using cfl, so leaf growth isnt blazing

yeah, im expecting a low yield, but my buddy has a male sativa plant, should i sex them? and how much would it reduce the yield? (if mines a female)

how many seeds would i get, and yadda yadda

lol it's gonna be real hard to keep it at only 1 ft. Personally I wouldn't know tho. I never breed my plants. Maybe one day tho :)
 

Where in the hell am I?

Thats okay. Flowering is a state of the plants life. Therefore, it is not possible to be flowering from seed, regardless of the light schedule. A seed is a seed, then seedling, then in a transition fer about a day, then vegetative state, then transition, then flowering. Just cause a light cycle is altered from nature's norm, that does not mean that a plants life cycle is altered to skip stages, only to help hurry them along
