New Grower Day 41 of my first grow- Alpha Wave

[BigBuick]

Well, I would welcome any and all comments as to how she looks and is coming along.... as I have zero point of reference having never done this before!
I'm using 5 gallon pots, with Happy Frog soil, cob lights in a 3X3 tent. This one popped out of the soil on March 23, so it looks like we're about 6 weeks or so into the grow. I think she's about 18" tall and it appears she beginning to build flowers? Being a child of the 60's I haven't enjoyed weed since the 70's due to job restrictions (subject to random drug screening). Well I'm about to retire and can't wait to enjoy the fruits of MY OWN LABOR!.

Looking forward to any advice etc... and can't thank members of this forum enough for all the support.

She's beautiful and has nice long pistils too. That main stem is looking pretty thick and she looks like she's ready for a big main cola considering she's untrained and all-natural! I am no expert but she's definitely showing sex and is stretching good. It's hard to tell but it looks like you're about a week into flower as is. Can't differentiate between the pistils and the newer leaf growth so it's hard to see if those are actually flowers building up. If this is an autoflower and you're 41 days in, I would hope you're at least 1 week into flower otherwise she might be one of those stubborn 120+ day strains or she's a photoperiod.

Thanks! Exciting for sure. Especially in light of the fact that my first effort has involved failing miserably to get seeds to sprout. I wasted three Nurple, one Alpha Wave, and two White Widows. I've tried all methods, but finally just planted the seed shallow under a plastic cover and kept it damp and warm. She jumped right up. Got some 4 Assed Monkey from Mephisto ready for the next effort.
