Starting a new grow with a random bag seed. Plant is about 1 week old maybe week and a half can not remember exactly what day i put it in the soil. No nutrients , straight tap water , and some old miracle grow potting soil , and some left over cfl lights laying around the house. Anyone have any input ? I think it looks sexy , hope it is a girl. I might start a 12/12 saturday.
It needs 3 more friend to keep it company. Looks good and I like the cheapo thrown together set up. It shows others you don't need to spend a fortune and make a huge shopping list to get started.
it's looking good for just some CFL's... the nodes are nice and compact... I'd make some reflectors to bend the light back down to the plant out of some soda cans or something. that would really help you get the most out of the light.
When i walked in the room after work today , it already had a faint marijuana smell to it , with 3 friends , i would need a lot safer of a facility to house them lol and yeah that is true , i may rig up some type of reflectors , soda cans sound perfect , sure i have a few laying around the house haha.
Oh I do have a question for anyone who reads this , I was told , that you can some times tell early if it is a male or female based on the node spacing and placement. I was told that 90 percent of the time , if the branches are off set and where new nodes start are off set , it is a girl. And that if the branches were even and the new nodes were evenly spaced , it was more likely to be male. Is this true , does this matter ?
Offset nodes are good, plants do that as they mature and males usually show sex first. You just have to wait it out to properly sex a plant.
Yeah , i am not going for any large amount , so i think since my 5th node is starting , i may just start flowering it , start a 12/12 till it shows sex. I was just curious because my plant is damn near 100% symmetrical , but it is still young so that is more then likely why.
That is one thing i have kinda learned , like i always read about how important lights were but i didnt listen lol I have a few more cfl's laying around i can probably rig up with some reflectors.
Male or Female ? First signs of sex , but the little hairs do not look like what i am used to seeing , but then again i have only grown a few plants over the years haha and i'm not sure if these little hairs could be just a fluke and it be a male sack they are growing out of ? Any thoughts on what sex it might be ? Also ain't it just a beauty.
