This is a two part question as pretty much stated in my subject line.
I'll post each question with it's corresponding pictures.
My first question is this. As I understand buds like direct sunlight and tucking the leaves/branches out of the way is the preferred method, but I have a beast of a plant that vegged under CFL's. What would be your suggestion in this situation?
Please see the pictures below. I've got 4 pictures showing all 4 sides of the plant.
the second part of my question is this.
I'm trying to determine the sex and I think this is female as I see a fine hair growing out where the nodes are, but it's almost invisible to the eye. I can only see it in the right light and the right angle.
I know the pictures aren't that great but was wondering if someone could help me out in 'guessing' the sex?
here are what I believe to be better pics in determing the sex. I am confident that it's female but it may just be wishful thinking.
so I'd like more input . Thanks!
Even with poor eyesight, it looks like white female hairs to me. Tip your hat to that lady, son....:D
My next sugguestion is a 400 HPS...and watch that lady explode in buds...:thumbsup:
Yeah, that's a female. Make sure you have room for that thing when you flower it. It's gonna get huge.
Just bend/tuck leaves if they're covering buds. I've been reading arguments of cutting vs. tucking since I started growing and personally I feel better not cutting the plant. The fan leaves are what take in the majority of light for the plant, so it makes sense to me to leave them.
I'll try to tuck but as you can see I'm doing LST and most of my stuff is already tucked.
This is pretty much the biggest pot I can utilize too given my grow space. I'll see what I can do.
As odd as it sounds I'm hoping for some males to pop up in my other 6 plants so I can the females into wider pots.
Damn that thing is big.:wtf::wtf::thumbsup:you could always do a scrog
I thought about it and I may if I build a legitimate cabinet this weekend.Quote:

I plan on trying to build a 6ft cab this weekend and ordering a 400watt hps.
but if I do scrog wouldn't the canopy just block the light? Also I have 7 plants total. So I'm not sure I have the space to scrog properly. I plan on building a 6ft x 3ft x 3ft cabinet. It's about all the space I can afford.
Nice looking plant, I'll be checking back in often. :)
that is a hella nice plant.
so how long did I veg her for?
