1st time plants seem ok wot now?

[DEXY]

This is the first time i have grown any plant what so ever. My friend went to amsterdam and brought me back a growing kit with seeds and as u can see by the picture they seem to be doing ok, they have been growing outdoors all there short life (8 weeksish) they have been watered twice a day and miracle grow every two weeks (indoor plant strenth).I have now noticed they have got white speckles on them and loosing some of there lower leaves is this normal and how do i tell if they are male or female and if all is ok when is the best time to flower and how ,I am from the UK many thanks in advance for your help.

Females have white pistils(hairs) sticking out like a "V". Males have pollen balls that release clouds of pollen dust. When you know for sure that's it's a male kill it. Plants will flower naturally outside. You can though flower your plants yourself by giving them exactly 12hours of sunlight and 12 hours of total darkness. For the dark period just move it in into your house in complete darkness. But they'll do better if you let them flower naturally. You can only tell the sex of a plant if it's flowering.

they look good. Watering once a day is enough. They like good drainage and airy soil. Overwatering causes slower growth. If you don't mind spending a few bucks goto the store and buy some good organic fert to give them. Alaskin Fish emulsion works great for me. I use 2 tbsp per gallon. 5-1-1 through veg when my pre-flowers showed i started useing a tbsp of the 0-10-10 and a tbsp of 5-1-1. When they get further into the flower stage I will only being giveing them 0-10-10. Also my plants are in the ground so your measurments might be different read the label. Oh yea i feed them with it once a week. One more thing if you were not already thinking it, I would put those in some bigger pots 5gallon buckets with holes in the bottom works the best. Happy growing

Well it seemed i did have spider mites and got a spray gun called bug clear gun that is ok for fruit and vegetables and all seem better even though it seems to be an on going war against da little buggers :rolleyes: .I am only watering them once a day now if mother nature don't do it of course also i am using allpurpose compost.Thanx for ur help once again and fingers x that atleast one is female.

Just a lil advice dont use miracle grow. It has a tendency of causing neutrient overloads and therefor causing slower growth.

dont us miracle grow it will fuck up the plantes and dont water you're plantes ever day ok get you're finger put it in the dirt when it feels like it's about 1inch dry under the dirt then water and that will only happen ever two to three days but there looking good apart from the bottom leaves dieing but i just told you how to stop that it's very easy so do it!!!!! lol peace from:sirsmokealot
