March 1st on the right, today on the left

Some of the backstory:
I was given the clone March 1st by a local dispensary as seen on the right above. It had been overwatered and the potting
mix was very alkaline. pH of about 8.
I got a cheap 3 way meter from Lowe's, it shows moisture, pH, and light meter.
I messed up and read the cheap meter wrong at first, but ended up making pH strips from red cabbage and that got me
in the ballpark and allowed me to figure out the pH portion of the meter. Once I got the pH balanced somewhat it started
to grow much quicker. I used 1 ml of white vinegar to 2 qts. water at first to lower the pH.
I found Alaska Naturals Organic liquid fertilizer on clearance sale for 5 bucks, using 1 ml per quart of water to feed it the last two
water cycles.
On sunny days it goes outside. Inside it is lit by two led full spectrum bulbs and 3 cfls now. Sometimes a homemade
led fixture.
Just short of two months since I got it and I think it is ready to flower.

The big lamp is a medical or dental lamp with one of the led bulbs in it and
another led bulb and cfl bulb hanging off of it. Works great for this, can adjust height easily.
The fan came from a computer power supply, running at 5 volts, the normal
12 volts was too much.

The plant got it's first 12 hour darkness period last night, going into flower.
Getting Frosty
I had a twig towards the bottom break twice, so I decided to try it out. Harvested on 6/5, tried tonight.
This is what I harvested.
If this little bud from the bottom of the plant is any indication, will be some killer weed.
If so, how close does this look? I don't want too much amber, but a little.
I'd say it's pretty darn close. But it's hard to tell from the pics, only a handful of the crystals are in complete focus. A magnifying glass will be much more accurate for checking the little mushroom heads all over the plant. The red hairs are normal, more will turn from white to red before you harvest.
Ahhh. Kind bud. It's so pretty. 
Wish I could still partake. It's been years. In my late 20's/early 30's it started making me anxious as hell. Sativa or indica makes no difference, both make me anxious to nearly the point of a panic attack. And anxious over stupid stuff like "Omg, we are almost out of kitty litter." Sucks. It started out happening 1 out of every 10 times and, over the course of a couple years, increased to 8 or 9 out of every 10 times. Sigh. I finally just gave it up altogether.
I call this one Yoda
When she didn't drink any water for two days even tho she had been in the hot sun,
I knew she was finished and time to harvest.
And finally, the next generation....
