the plant in the 3rd picture looks fine. I would translplant it into at least a 1 gallon pot.. But preferably 3-5 gallons. Mix lots of perlite with your soil.. sell at home depot for $3.00....at least 20%... this will keep your soil full of air.. newbies tend to over water and perlite is a good safe gaurd..


rule of thumb... every new set of leaves should be bigger than the previous...

Get a high quality soil and translplant into bigger pot.. with 7 days you kid will start a massive growth spurt..

What is your lighting situation?

congrats on the new hobbie!!

thanks for input. the pictures are all of the same plant and its over 4 weeks old, almost 5. and it is in a 1 gallon pot. its probley about 8 inches tall at most. im using a 400 watt MH bulb, until flower time, will be switching to HPS. it has grown so slow. the seeds i got were gave to me and they were said to be Sensi seeds. out of about 30 seeds only one germ. im prayin shes a girl. one more question, does the plant have to be a certain hight before u can start flowering or can u got by weeks. i know u can make it flower whenever u want. but how old or tall would u recomend? thanks fellas

you can flower any time you want.... usually people will wait until they have at least 3 nodes.. another thing... you want to flower when your plant is thriving... when it is strong.. if you are suspect of a nut deficiency.. or rootbound you should not flower.. you plant is plenty big enough to flower...

since you only have one plant you may want to wait....
then again you only have a 400watt bulb which means it won't penetrate deep into the foilage so you should flower now..

But you better clone first.. : )

good luck

ok thx for the advice, tis greatly appreciated. it has like 4 nodes on there and another ready to layout from top. and u suggest i clone first? or wait till i know for sure its female?

[Garden Knowm]

Might as well let it grow a bit more and then take a 1/2 dozen or more clones...

Then flower... if it is a male... then chuck the clones..

that's how I'd do it..
