I have a plant that sprouted in my yard. It is about two weeks old. The first picture I took on day 10. I sprayed some stuff that I found in my mom's shed. It said it was to increase the yield of tomatos and vegetables. Well 4 days later the plant looks a lot better. If this plant is a girl, how and when will I know if it is one. Also what should I do with it to make it grow faster. Also when would I expect budding. Also it is a high quality plant, because the only seeds I throw in my yard are the ones I will ocassionaly get from dro. This is the first plant I have ever had please help me. Also would it be possible to keep it 1 foot high so no one sees it. Thank yall in advance for yalls help.:jointsmile:

Sorry he ^ still can't type in rational sentences.
When the plant gets old enough it'll start to show its pistils if its a female (bud) or little balls which make it a male and worthless. This usually occurs in nature when the days shift to 12 hours of light /12 hours of dark. As it is now I doubt you're going to be able to keep it under a foot like you'd like. Usually bringing out door plants inside is frowned upon as well. For me in doors it took over a month from seed for my plants to display their sex.
I guess technically you could try to LST it to keep it short but I'd have to say good luck on that.... maybe you could transplant it to a new home outdoors somewhere farther away from your house were it won't be discovered.

Thank yall for yalls help. Do yall recoment me putting it on a 12/12 now? I can put a burlap sack around it for 12 hours, and then take it off for 12 hours in the daylight.

just let it grow naturally....the plant will bud on it's own at the end of the summer. but you could do what you just suggested...artificially put the plant on 12/12, cause i know you don't want it to grow very tall.
however, if you let it grow naturally outdoors, you could always trellis the plant so it grows horizontally and stays short.
if you are going to artificially put it under 12/12, don't use a burlap sack. it will damage your plant cause of it's heaviness, and once the plant starts budding you definitely don't want anything wrecking the buds. i had to cover my budding plants with plastic bags to move them one time, and the buds got slightly damaged. you gotta be really careful with them delicate babies./

I have a tomato cage around it so they will not get damaged. Thank you so much for the advice. Also how can I trellis the plant?

get another cage set it up next to the first cage and when the plantgrows to the second horisontal bar pull it down and train it to the first bar on the second cage then if get a 3rd cage and do the same. then you train it back through the second bar back to the first then back and forth. that should work.

clear the area around it man, otherwise weeds and other shitty plants will compete for territory and obstruct the cannabis roots, weeds also grow better under the condition you have and will easily outgrow the cannabis plant.
