Smile My first plant, pics inside!

So I've been growing it for give or take 2 months now, its roughly 12 inches tall, giver or take an inche. I am by no means an expert, this is just something I decided to fool around with, I started by feeding it regular water with no fertalizer, but then it start to die because I over watered it (I only water it once a week now), so I stopped watering it for a while and added fertilizer to try and give it a boost. The fertilizer is 10-30-10 (it's all purpose, so I figured it wouldn't hurt), I was told to use 15-50-15 but I don't really have the means to go out and buy it.

Anyawy, it looks pretty alive and healthy now. It may not turn out to be the best bud, but I'm proud of it none-the-less. Can't wait to smoke this.

Also not sure if it's female or male, but I think it might be female. Perhaps you guys can tell from the pics.

Other Front lol.

Another shot of fan leaf.

So what ya'll think?

UPDATE: Friday, August 14th, 2009

So I did a little pre-smoke today. I was itchin some bad and decided to search the web to see if leaves could get you high. I was always told they didn't, but I figured they must at least get you a little buzzed. The web said they did in fact give you a little buzz, so I was convinced and decided to smoke my trimmings.

I didn't put any tobac in, I never do (blech!), and it was about 50/50 of dried and fresh leaves.
The funny thing is, I only had Vogue papers to roll with, (don't ask where they came from, I don't know), but the leaves rolled really nice. I smoked them, they burnt for around 15 minutes, I was shocked. The taste wasn't too great, but I did start feeling it after about 5 minutes of toking. After it was gone, I was happily surprised to find that I am now quite buzzed. I'm by no means high, but it's a very pleasant feeling that has come over me.

If the leaves are this great, I can't wait to see what the buds are like.

Sorry mate, didn't see it. I don't come to these forums a lot, the few times I have, people have posted pics here. Thought I'd give my try at it .

Re: My first plant, pics inside!

I don't mean to be a noob, but when do the buds start growing on a plant?
I'm not really much of a grower but I'm learning.

buds only grow on females.
it depends all on the lighting schedule its under

recommend everyone should go to the grow section and LEARN on how marijuana grows.
its not fun to listen to nubs and the ignorance thinking just putting a seed in a pot of dirt will grow marijuana.
it will but, well you really need to know how it grows. and how to make it grow.

Re: My first plant, pics inside!

Great, high-quality pictures! The plant is looking pretty good.

There is, as mentioned earlier, a growing section of the message board. A moderator can move this thread if necessary. You'll learn a ton about growing and you can look at other peoples' grows!

Once again, nice pics!

I was going to say, actually yes it will. That's the second step. First germinate the seeds.

After putting the seed in the soil and watering it 3-4 times a week for 2 weeks straight, I have NO IDEA what to do after that lol
