Do you see what I see?

[LaffyTaffyBP T]

I've been patiently waiting to determine the gender of the plants I have. I've taken some pics, I can't tell if its my camera or what, but I can't seem to get a great close up on the nodes. I'll attach 8 different pics from both plants to see if anyone sees anything on them! Thanks for your help!

Here's the first five pics!

Here they go! And a pic of my doggy...

Sorry, cant see nothing but a healthy plant and a cute dog, need a better focused pic of a node area to tell sex - how many plants are you running? Depending on the size limitations you have might be time to switch to 12/12

No, like Tokudai said the pics are too blurry to positively identify. However, judging by the branching structure I would hazard a guess that you do indeed have a female there.

Do you have a magnifying glass? Even a plasitc one will work, that is what I used. Also if you can set your camera to best quality pics and then in your photo program zoom in on wanted area.
P. S. I've included a pic of my doggie for your pleasure, I enjoyed yours! Good Luck!

It looks female I think I noticed white hairs. Like they said get a closer pic of a node area to be sure.

it looks like it could be a male or a female of some sort....:rolleyes: in fact, i would put money on that ;)

Well, I'm almost 100% sure that I have 2 females in my presence. I got little hairs poppin up all over the place! :D :D :D This is going to be fun. I think I have everything I'm going to need throughout the flowering period. On the other hand, i don't think I'm ready at all for harvesting (curing, drying, etc...)

Anyone know any good threads or have any advice on what I'm going to need to fully maximize my yield of buds and hash? I sure do enjoy this thing called cultivation, what a great new hobby.

Any ideas on how to convince my girlfriend to let me keep doing this?

I've learned so much, I'm actually interested in scrogging another little plant I have going in another room.

I'm using a 400w MH bulb right now for flowering - is this bulb acceptable for flowering? It seemed like it was very useful for vegging the plant, but I keep seeing people using different types of bulbs for flowering. HELP!!

[Perp]

You will get nice buds with that light. Good Luck.

Honestly I don't see anything. All the pictures are blurry. Man sometimes digital cameras suck. The picture with the cat looks like it has perfect quality but it's soo blurry on the plants :(.

HPS (High Pressure Sodium) is better for flowering.

[doco]

Ideal light temperature spectrum for flowering is 2700 Kelvin and ideal for vegging is 6500 K. It seems that many metal halide bulbs sold for growing tend to be in the 4000 - 4200 K range which is probably fine for flowering but an HPS would be optimal. You can find HPS Conversion bulbs (360w I think) that will work with a MH ballast but they are pricey...$50 and up. Many people use MH (or HPS) for entire grows with great results so if cash is an issue, just go with what ya got and have fun.
