Newbie grower - are these male or female?

  1. Hello,

    When can I determine wether this plant is male or female? I've had it grown for 3rd week now.

  4. As my signature suggests I am a new grower. This is my very first try.

    The plant on picture is a mystery seed I found from a G I bought from a friend. I'm using a tri-phosphor light bulb 150w 5500K and two smaller 20w 2700k on the sides. They grow quick and look really healthy. Currently giving the plant some good light 24 hours a day.

    Should I switch to 18/6?

  5. And to add, while not definitive, Male plants will not have crossed Stamen..

  11. You could switch the lights to 18/6 or 20/4 I think it’s good to have a dark period for photos. It won’t do no harm to your plant. What soil are you growing in?
    Good Luck on a Girl!

  15. I honestly could not tell anymore, I bought some standard potting soil and used that. Been monitoring my pH levels though.

    Thanks, kind motivating words are always good to hear.



    If someone's interested then I posted a picture of my growbox. Been working on building this the past week.

  16. Not to be rude..but there really is no such thing as "standard potting soil"..The questions were asked to assist you in your grow.:)

  17. I'm pretty sure I'll be visiting the same store tomorrow, I'll make a picture of it.

    Good..be sure to take a picture of the Label with contents too..
    "standard potting soil is usually a cover for whatever is handy to dump in it..Again..just my 2cents.

    In not Miracle Grow is it? Because it has time released nutes is it. Did you get it from Home Depot or Lowe’s? If you have the bag just look at the name if you can.

    Btw: your lights are pretty high from the tops of the plants. Cfls don’t get the best light penetration that’s likely why they stretched. the one on the right can be moved 3-4 inches from the plant as it’s really not doing anything except heating up your Grow space. What’s The distance of the top light from the top your plants? The plants look pretty Good! But you would do better if the lights were closer IMO.
