Come on, man- don't try to steal a thread. Start your own thread with a more specific question! Do your homework and post what exactly your working with- strain, lights, nutes, system, etc(search feature is real helpful and READ threads) You will find help just like mr.sargent, just post, chill/have a session, and you will find some help:thumbsup: but yeah start with 1/4 strength and work your way up over time because too many nutes can cause nute lock and lead to the destruction of your future harvest, just be patient with your plant and let nature do it's thing.

Peace

Or it could be that the small plant got stunted or stressed in one way or another.

Your going to have to post a picture of the pistils in so we can get a good look at it. Hopefully, you have a female on your hands. Male pollen sacks looks like clusters of balls. Female pistils should have hairs coming out of the creating a V shape out of the pistil.



Ill post a diagram that should help you determine the sex

hi DRUDOWN11 here are the pics but there not that clear to see, but try make sense of it.

also there is a pic showing them under the hps, shud i get additional light for the undernieth or will it be cool ??. thanks in Advance.

Definently stipules. Like drudown said... In my opinion if you really wanna know sex, switch the light schedule to 12/12 for 2 weeks and when you start to see little pistils coming from next to where the stipules are you have a female, but if you start to see little sacks of balls chop that dude down, he could compromise the entire operation.

If you do have females your best bet would be to clone them and start a few new under veg. That way when you are ready for harvest, you have a few more to start flowering again.

Nice setup man thats cool. Mine is nothing like that lol im new new new B lol.

Good luck with ur grow mate.

Sarge, you should go to home depot or lowes and purchase a couple sheets of stirofoam insulation and build a makeshift wall to help enclose your light around your plants. You are losing a lot of light into the room and it is not being directed towards the plant..... In other words, You are losing "Lumens"

Your plants would greatly benifit even if you were to spray paint a couple pieces of large cardborad flat white and use those as temporary walls... Anything to help reflect as much light back to the plants as possible.:jointsmile:

killfrenzi As a matter of fact iv cut a big sheet of cardboard and put strips of tin-foil across the whole thing its now standing as u said infront of the plants. I did it the other day when i changed to the HPS, it makes a big difference and as u can see the wall it white behind the plants so its a massive inprovement. Would terra floues be sweet for the budding stage ???

Get rid of the tin foil and paint that cardboard white or buy some mylar. Tin foil reflects heat and can create hotspots.

ok whats mylar ??. i thourght the heat would have been a good thing. When u say hots spots, how do u mean because looking at the plants myself there's light almost everywhere no shadows at all, after having it there for a few days i checked the foil and it was stone cold no heat what so ever. Im going to check them tonight so il take sum more pics for you to see.

P.S will Terra Floues be COOL ???? cheers mate

Yes tera flours are a great nutrient; I have used in the past and was pretty pleased with the results. With the mylar, Mylar is very expensive and kinda hard to come by; Your best bet if you dont wanna paint, even though the flat whitepaint is the way to go.... Go to WalMart in the camping section you can find Emergency Camping Blankets for a $1.88 a sheet that will make 2 walls at least 4'x4' the whole sheet is like 81"x64". It would work perfectly and doesnt cost anything except couch money, pocket change, cup holder money? Ya know....


Good Luck and I hope you are getting the advice you need.
