Please help- first time grower

I found a seed in some good bud and decided to drop it in a pot to see what happened. No nutrients at all during veg, left outside on porch with limited light this time of year an no care other than water every couple of days. Now i have a plant that is about a 1.5ft tall. Because of the lack of light and care, it is now flowering. I’ve moved it into my closet and now keep and LED light on it for 12/12. I just started with fox farms tiger bloom. It’s now been 3 months, since I dropped the seed and this is what I’ve got. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. I had NO expectations at first, but now I’d like to see it through to the end to see if I can get any decent bud from it. Obviously a extremely low yield, but would be cool to smoke some of C1A581EA-57C5-46D4-B079-3B9A5780565B.jpeg9E5DB155-871B-4620-8F3E-F05A089D5FC6.jpegmy own weed.

Put a fan and move the lights closer and feed her more don't let her dry up
Take a cotton drench it in neem oil mix and rub under all leaves don't have many leaves so that would not be a problem don't spray any thing on flower

I just put a oscillating fan in there today. I will pick up some neem oil tomorrow and rub under the leaves. Right now the light sit about 12in above, should it be closer? Like I said, I really don’t know much about what I’m doing other than what I’ve read the last couple of weeks. How often should I be feeding her? Should I be using the tiger bloom water each time? I appreciate the feedback

That's perfect distance feed her when the top medium is dry enough use that bloom in minimal quantity in every watering
Is that photoperiod or autoflower
 
I wish I knew, I found it in a bag. It was the first seed I’ve seen years. It was pretty decent weed (not sure of the strain), which is why I decided to drop it in some soil to see what happened.
Should I leave the fan on while the light is off?

I use Tiger Bloom as well but in conjunction with Big Bloom. I haven't noticed any problems with feeding every watering but I personally use half strength Tiger Bloom and full strength Big Bloom because Big Bloom has almost no NPK and has bat guano, worm castings, and kelp. I use calmag instead of Grow Big for Nitrogen.

Tiger Bloom is not organic. Big Bloom is OMRI certified organic. Many do not consider Big Bloom organic. I'd have to use other nutrients to really be able to rave about it but I love the stuff.

Is it to late to start big bloom with the tiger bloom?

Well, that depends on how you look at it. Big Bloom is recommended throughout the entirety of the grow but the flowering feeding is only half of the vegetative feeding. That suggests to me that it is more crucial in veg than it is in flower. Do I think you will see improvement by the time you harvest? Yes, but it will not be significant this late. Do you need it to buffer the tiger bloom? No, I think using half strength or even quarter strength Tiger Bloom will do that just fine. Once you see no burns step that up to full strength.

Have you thought about whether you will be feeding right up until harvest day or going the last two weeks without feeding?

Do you think she's photoperiod???

I really have no idea? This is my first time, and it was damn near by accident that she got this far. What do you recommend? How will I know when it’s time to harvest

You say you've had it three months now? Can you recall how long it was outside before you started seeing white hairs?
 
Yes. The only evidence I have of it being a photoperiod is that he said it started flowering because of low light after growing it in veg for awhile.
It sat on my back porch from the time I started it in the last week of October until I moved it inside last Sunday. It’s been pretty much 12/12 due to the shorter days this time of year

First Timer,
Welcome to RIU!
This is the sight I would recommend for you to be able to start out on:

It is set up as tutorials on about every topic.
When you run into a specific question, RIU's search engine is your best friend. If you have a question, there is a good chance that it has been asked and answered before. Then, when you are in a real bind, the old timers around here will know you have been doing your part, and will be more willing to give you a hand.
Very cool you decided to drop your bag seed in some soil. It will be killer to smoke something that you have grown yourself, no matter how it turns out.
Good luck finishing this one out, and good luck on the next one.
Cheers,
WillieP
