Okay sorry I advance alittle long story...
I had a gurilla grow next to a creek bed with 3 plants was doing great soil was pretty loose and sandy but they seemed to love it. But started seeing some neighbors kids kinda often decided to dig up so ordered a 1000wat budget light to try to finish them off indoors 1never recovered assumed it was a male anyway by the structure 1 turned hermie and so I’m down to 1 which is pure female... what I need help with is my concerns with the purple fan leaf stems if that’s a issue and didn’t really mark when I put it into flower and how long it’s been since I saw that it began actually flowering but I think in the 1 1/2 weeks and I’m not seeing really any development in like 4 days just the hairs got alittle longer not really any bud forming I gave it some flower nutes but not really for cannabis keep in mind 100 percent budget don’t have the money for soil nutes or decent light and tent so yeah if it is stunted just wondering how to fix and last the leaves turned super dark thought it might be a toxicity thanks just need advice on what to do and how they are looking and the soil is what I dug up from around them since they was in the ground

Welcome to RIU

The color looks good. Buds are forming. I would call it 1 to 2 weeks into flower. So you've got at least 8 to 9 weeks to go.

My biggest concern would be burning bug pests in from the outdoors. You can see where the leaves have some damage from pests. I would closely inspect the undersides of leaves for any bugs, caterpillars, or mites. The mites can be tiny, like almost microscopic.

The leaf I marked in the picture looks like it might have some webbing along the serrations. That could be spider mites.

If you can't get bug pests under control, they will mess up your plant.

Good luck! Peace:peace:

Hey nice work that is dedication, you should get a fair bit if it turns out, looks great considering i wouldnt go to crazy with to many nutes, do you have a ph meter you should check that first, you can get a soil ph tester at any hardware store. and i would be watering it with rain water if i could or at least check the ph of the tap water, and yeah as tracker said id be checkn bugs remove any suspect looking leaves and maybe do some preventatives when its still early in flower. the purple/red stems are all good it can mean heaps of things but maybe a little stress from the transplanting nothing to stress. you can pull all the top branches down to let light fatten the lower budds if you want, i always pull my plants over, a 1000w should get you heaps off that 1 plant, any more pics of your overall setup :D :eyesmoke:

Thank you I hope it does do good. And yes they have gotten bigger since my post it’s my first time growing and it’s a poor set up since it wasn’t planned to put it inside.

be careful with that orchid food order some tiger bloom from fox farm a quart should get you through and maybe some calmag
Yes I was worried about the orchid bloom hoping someone was tell me if it would work or I guess it could be a experiment and no idea of strain kinda bag seed type thing
