Flowering & frustrated

Yeah there's some beautiful buds in those pics, I especially like the ones with the purple leaves.my timer doesn't kick on till 6am so when it does I'll get the watts for you. It's actually week 7 since I started the 12/12 cycle but I took off two weeks because that's when she started showing her sex. Is that the right way to count my flowering weeks or do I count from when I started the actual 12/12? Thank you for your help I am greatfull for it
 
Toxic, I always keep track of when I switch to 12/12. On my last grow, I switched when the plants showed pre-flowers. On this grow, I switched much sooner, because I know that flowering is going to take a long time with my strain. They say 14 weeks in flower for this strain, and as soon as I see buds forming, I'll assume that I'm in for 14 or so weeks until harvest.

What will tell you when to harvest are the TRICHOMES.
 
buds can double in size there last two weeks, better to harvest 2 weeks late than 1 week early get a cheep microscope under 20 bucks then check the tricomes when they go from cloudy to about 50% amber their ready
 
Hey greenarmadillo, I have 2x 19watt -5000k, 4× 13watt-5000k & 1× 14 watt. Here's a couple pics of what she's looking like now. I think she's grown a little not much though. Next grow I'm going to use higher watt bulbs but stick with the CFL's

Mate, those are some beautiful buds for such a small amount of watts. You've been taking some good care of your baby. <3

Btw, you can buy 40 watt CFL's (actually you can even find 50, 60, 100, etc). If you switched all your bulbs to 40 watt CFL's you'd end up with 280 watts, instead of the 104 watts you're currently using. Did you know that would automatically almost TRIPLE your final yields? Wouldn't that be amazing!!
Also, from what i've read, you should be trying to use warm lights for flowering. So you should aim for 2700K bulbs. All the best my friend. Looking forward to seeing you reach harvest, and then smoke-ups. ^_^
