My First Buds I have ever grown

[akisunni]

Hey Guys,

After a few failed attempts at growing in my youth with nothing to show for it, I finally have my first real bud. Its about 6 weeks into the bud cycle, but its out doors in mid Nov in Nor Cal so not sure if I wont harvest half or so of this bud soon, and then put it back under 24/0 light and reveg the plant during the darkest hours of winter before returning it to a warming spring sunlight.

I have a second outdoor girl right now, who is only two weeks into budding. It might find itself back under grow lights if the weather turns miserable. Irony, when you have plants in bud mode, and you might have to go back to veg mode cause its too dark and cold outside. hahaha.

And the only indoor girl, with one of her many little starter buds. She is two weeks into flower mode.

Isn't it possible to shock that plant brings it back to veg after flowering started? Possible hermy or something? A more experience grower would know if that's wise it not. Maybe there's some better options.

Thanks for the comment, I have moved it indoors now that the cold part of the storm hit my area. Its just had 36 hours of CFL, now in 12 hours of Dark. The plant already looks healthier then it did sitting outside in mid November. I have nipped the top of the bud, so it should backfill the bud now. I will take it full term indoors and harvest it when its done. Its about 6.5 weeks into flower at this point.

Yikes will do so. I noticed the change when I brought it in doors after a really cold day here. I have been pondering cutting a leaf off and putting it under a scope, will do so now....

... I just went and cut two tips off of leaves and put them to my digital microscope. I tried to upload the pictures, but they were saved in a format that made them TOO SMALL, ya didnt see that one coming. 420 mag says the images need to be bigger. So tomorrow, I will try to take larger sized versions. lol

Thanks for the insight. What I saw was weird looking. I will post pictures from my cell phone tomorrow. Here is the image the microscope camera took.

You are correct, while I havent found bugs on her, I found two of them on the sister plant next to her. With her bud at this stage, suggestions? I can see treating the other plant, it still has 6+ weeks of flower left. This one is starting to have milky tri's
