Alright, I think we've got a winner here. Checked my plants, and my older plant is starting to show these same markings, as well. I've got a quart of some cal-mag + I assume that will fix the problem? I only bought it in case, wasnt sure of my tap water levels.

As for my older plant, its 3-leaf set is really yellowing out, and curling downwards, then upwards.. kinda like a rollercoaster, heh. Would that be due to the calcium def?

Switched to 12/12 about five days ago and the 2 plants exploded in size.

Two days ago, on the one there were two tiny oval/balls on each side at the very top where the top branches meet the main stalk. 2 total balls. Well, now, it looks like either one of them split, or there are now three in sort of a small cluster beginning to build.

On the other pant, there are no balls. In the same top-spot as other plant there are what looks like crab claws that have opened with thin green "hairs" coming out of them. To me, the "hairs" look more like the very beginnings of new leaves as opposed to white hairs of a female.

I'm thinking the ball-cluster one is a male, but there are only three total balls now if you count the one that looks like it split into two forming a cluster. Do I have time to see how it develops to ensure it is a male?

What about the other? Could they be leaves, or do you think it might be a female?

I should also say that the possible male is much taller and thinner overall, where the "female is shorter and bushier, if that indicates anything.

Would 130w cfl be sufficient during flowering?

For 1, maybe even 2 plants, but you need to make sure its 2500K Daylight.

that could be a nitrogen def, or heat stress, never seen or heard of that.

males are taller than females, & pollen sacks will grow in clusters like grapes. look at these pics. as for time i would rid the males as soon as u know they are males.




bottom pics are male unless noted.

true purple kush is clone only, & the rule of thumb is 50-100w per plant or a minimum of 3500-5000 lumens per plant, so yes more is better.

congrats, what breed are they? i want a dog but they are hard to take care of in apartments, plus the barking i hate barking especially little mungrels like poodles (my parents have a cockerspaniel poodle mix called a cockapoo and its the most annoying dog ever, it chews on everything from photo albums to plants, to even cat shit if it can find some outside
.
i was a big dog person, but i move frequently, and have little time to play with one so my and my gf got 2 female calico cats (ones a year old, other is a few months), they keep busy, clean themselves and each other, play with anything from hair elastics to cat toys and plastic shopping bags.
I clean the 2 litter boxes once a week, fill up auto waterer and feeders once a week but i like to give fresh water every 2 days and sometimes milk to them if i am home. Its also ok to leave for a couple nights too, they sleep together and everything

I know the pic isn't the best, but do you think this is a male from what you can tell? I do. Just wanted a second opinion. Hopefully you can see the little cluster of balls where the top branches join with the main stem.

The other one doesn't have any balls, only crab claws opened up with small green hairs coming out. I think it is a girl. Its shorter and bushier like you said.


You know, it's funny. I actually feel a little bad about destroying the male. Poor guy.
