Need some help with a couple problems please help!

First question - I started 4 plants all on the 5th node about I have had 1 male and 1 hermi I cut them both down the other two im not sure they arent show signs whats the chance theyll be a hermi or a male?

Second question - My one plant is growing slower, its been a slow grower the whole time its only starting on the 4th node now its kindof bothering me what can I do to help?

Third question - I have a 60% cow manure to 40% soil mixture is that healthy for a plant?

Fourth question - Ok this is where I messed up on the two plants I have left when I was repotting one i accedently lost about 2 1/2 inches of the root and theres about 1 1/2 inch left and the leafs the tips are turning a brown its been two day the first day they got really brown about close to 1/2 of the leafs turned brown now only about 1/3 is brown and a little yellow but ive been watering its twice a day alot making the soil kindof muddy that way the roots will grow... Is this plant fine what should I do? No pictures today will post tommorrow PS. I can''t really buy anything I only got water soil and cow manure what should I do to insure it survives?

First question - This all depends on if it was a true hermi or a stressed female. If it was stressed due to enviromental conditions and noob era and the other plants are in the same conditions the chances are pretty high towards hermi.

Second question- Could be a different phenom than the others.

Third question - That seems pretty hot for mj IMO. I think you would be better off with just the potting soil and some perlite. 60% manure is way too much. I usually mix mine with 2 parts peat moss, 1 part potting soil, 1 part compost, and around 1 part perlite. Seems to be doing the trick for me.

Fourth question- I would transplant into a different medium and stop the watering. Thats way too much water. You are suffocating the roots. As Rusty would tell you that they need a wet dry cycle. That means water then let dry out. I usually water then watch the plants. If they start drooping a little and the pot is light its time to water again.

Like i say in all my posts, Im still new to all this. I could be right and i could be wrong but all your answers are on this site. Looks like you got some reading to do. Good luck.

How many weeks did you veg them for before starting 12/12? Are they in a complete darkness during their dark cycle?

Second question - My one plant is growing slower, its been a slow grower the whole time its only starting on the 4th node now its kindof bothering me what can I do to help? Genetics has part to do with this.....Conditions and environment provided will be the deciding factor on how the plant grows....

Third question - I have a 60% cow manure to 40% soil mixture is that healthy for a plant? Cow dung? Now that's organic!:thumbsup: I don't think this would be a good decision. Also, the taste would probably be horrible......But if you want to smoke buds that thrived from cow manure, who am I to say eeeewwww....60/40 might be a bit much:stoned:

Roots need oxygen to grow. By "making the soil kindof muddy" you are choking the roots and prohibiting growth....

Is this plant fine what should I do? No pictures today will post tommorrow PS. I can''t really buy anything I only got water soil and cow manure what should I do to insure it survives? Do much more research as to what this plant needs, get it, then start over once you have the right materials. Don't set yourself up for disappointment.....

For now, IF they keep growing, you want to let the soil almost completely dry before watering again. This type of plant likes to have a wet/dry cycle.....

Best of luck and please do post pics......

It's outside im a noob just starting infact well ill stop watering it I hope it lives with the roots cut more that half the size also I can tell you its not a stressed female it was a male big pollen sacks clear as day on the one no sign of female parts on any nodes and the second was the same untill i cut it off and removed the leafs i noticed tiny female parts way smaller then the pollen sacks... pictures will be posted of my plants tht i kindof messed up it has about 3 of the 5 nodes ( the one 3 leaf fell off when I had a nit dif I fixed tht tho and the 1 fan leaf well they always fall off I heard) and I will lower the rate of manure to soil soon to about 40 60 or so I dont mind the taste im gonna flush them about a week before I harvest them so the taste shoulden't be that bad =) thanks for the help guys any more answers is also appreciated.

If i were you id drop the manure to less. As for smoking, just about all fertilizers are crap of some kind. Whether it be sea bird, bat, fish, worm, etc. Like you said a good flush a week or two before harvest will clean them out good.

That is nute burn. The mixture you are using is way too hot. If i was you i would go with just regular soil and ditch the manure for the time being. Thats just my opinion

The picture looks like root issues to me. If I were you, just stop watering so much and leave it alone.
