    got 3 sativas, about 2 months old, maby a little older, with real crappy lighting and stuff but at least ive got my plants and no other lighting options, its not the first time ive had plants, but ive never got any buds from my plants, i think its been real bad luck with only males, hope my luck is diferent this time, you tell me. on the 3rd pic i notice something weird on the plant, where the main branch gets a lot wider on the mid section of the plant, anyone know what that is? are the big enough to see if theyr males/females? i realy apretiate any kind of help i can get here, thanks a lot

    I'm not experienced, but I'd say get some better lights. CFL's are cheap it looks deformed to me crappy lighting=no buds.What kind are you using anyway incandescent?

    well, here's what i'd do.........I'd take those 2 plants, if you can call tham that, a nd plant them in a nice secluded area, you live in Venezuela for fucks sake, I'd have a farm out my back yard with your weather.........make sure they get plenty of water, maybe support the stem for a while, looks too weak with the weak light source........it'll stiffen up over time outside.........let mother nature do her stuff.............Peace out.............Sid

    think its called fluorecent lamp but its small, ill post a pic. due to my living conditions, its very irregular the light time they get daily, sometimes 6 hours sometimes 12 sometimes 24 hours of continuos lighting... when i go away for the weekends i have to keep em in a dark closet for 3 days i guesws that all those factors are negative for the plants, but i do what i can. is it stupid of me to give em 24 hour lighting from time to time? (the irregular lighting schedule is due to that i live with my brother and my aunt, they would toss the plants away if they found out about em, keep em in the closet at day time, take em to the bathroom at night with the lamp, been very lucky they havnt found out about em)

    i lve in an apartment so i have no back yard, damn, now that would be great but its not an option for me right now...

    sid: "em plants if you can call em that" hahah come on go easy on my plants! im proud of em, they have put up to these conditions

    note: these seeds are some ive just taken out of the regular weed i buy, so are all the former plants ive had, ill get some quality seeds over the net whenever i get my hands of some credit card. i deal with what i got

    thanks again for the replys.

    Bro let me get directly to the heart of the matter, if you aren't able to provide optimal or near optimal conditions for your plants don't even bother growing because all you're going to be doing is wasting a lot of time. The soil looks dangerously dried out and the light supply intensity and irregularity have most likely severely stunted your plants beyond all hope.

    My advice: scrap your grow project until you have your own place and have had time to do some homework before you attempt another grow. This isn't a solution that may be to your liking but unless or until you treat your cannabis with love and affection it will never return to you even a hint of what's possible. Growing is like any other project or endeavor the more focus and care you show the better the outcome.

    Good luck bro and stay green.

    Why can't you keep them in your closet all the time?Wer'e not being pessimistic marijuana will grow better with more light, and correct spectrum too.$6.44 isn't much either.

    reality : youre setting yourself up for failure. there are alot of grow journals on this forum. check them out. i personally think its too much, if you have to keep transferring them into the bathroom. indoor growing is more than a simple light and a plant. yeah this is my first post, but ive spent hours on grow journals here, that i know enough to tell you - you need better grow conditions for some success. research on this forum and you'll see what i mean. esta laters.

    heres one of my sativa plants, local strain, 4 weeks old with some nute burn/deficiency, but im learning. indoor, all fluro veg. waiting on my hps. for flower. gonna do my own grow journal. first grow indoor. haha. i like it cause i monitor its grow rate to the tee. ive tried outdoor. i am seriously considering greenhousing some bitches for my next project. nothing beats the good ol natural sun. but hey, all in all good luck with this grow and the next. its a learning experience, i just love plants in general.

    read. plan. execute. smoke. shoot.

    yea. it doesent look like you planned it out very well, but with all the lighting changes you'll probabally get males and if your lucky hermaphrodites. look for some more seeds and get ready to start again when they die. My guess is 1 week. psout
