i had one and it got too be like a foot and a half and i saw the first bud starting the other day but then yesterday i came back and it was in rough shape, i hope she pulls through.
man if you plant in may you will easily get an ounce per plant.. and for outdoor strains it is often best to harvest after the first frost. but it depends on dampness.. the thing with growing is there are no defined rules... only guidelines because every grow is different. thats part of why its so fun.
