How does this look?

well today when i looked at it it had gotten much bigger than the day before yesterday. I had moved the CFLs up some to give it more room and it was almost touching one of them today so i moved them up again. I checked the water and everything and i think i can wait for that until tomorow night if not the day after. I will check again tomorow on that issue. I tried posting a reply to your messege too, elway, but my internet went down right as i clicked post and it didnt go up and i had a good paragraph so i didnt feel like retyping it sorry. but yes i am using a warmer CFL because they were laying around the house and I'm not trying to produce grade A top notch stuff for a first grow its mainly to see if I can do it so i'll stick with em throughout. And i'm pretty sure the problem was from underwatering its kinda hard to judge with the shitty soil i bought but i'm starting to figure out how its devilish mind works. And i'm sure there was no problem with ferts because I didnt start using ferts until just a few days ago so is there anything else that could cause burns like that? Anyway, it's looking great i'm waiting for signs of sex to appear in the next week or two. I measured it today and it turns out the it is 13 inches from soil to to leaves so i'm pretty proud of myself for getting this far. I just hope to heaven that its a female... Anyway, those promised pics will be up in a day or two. I've been really busy with other things as of late so its been hard to get on here and post em up but they will come. Huge thanks to anyone who views this read and gives me any advice and PLEASE KEEP IT COMING!!!! I'll post back up in a day or two

Alright well those promised pics are taking so long because the retarted ass camera I have isn't working again... i hate technology... Anyway, today when i looked at my plant to water it it was so droopy i almost gasped. Its only been like 3 days since i last watered and my soil retains the water so is it from ot watering it or what? I think it should pep up over then next day now that it has ferted water in it but man it scared me. I'll have to start checking morning and night now instead of just at night. sometimes i'd check every other day just because i didn't deem it extremely necessary to contantly peer at it but i guess i'll have to. I've really grown attached to it and for it to fail now would suck so i'm going to definitely keep a much better eye on things. When i measured it two days ago it was 16 and a half inches from soil to top leaves. I'm gonna measure again in a few days when the droop is gone. Oh and btw i noticed today that my gnat problem is completely gone. I saw one gnat that i squished on the wall and that was all. I'm thankful for that at least. As soon as the camera is fixed i'll post up more pictures and sorry again for the delay. Any advice on the droopyness or just plain comments would be great!

its that crappy soil you have go to a hydroponic store and buy fox farms ocean forest mix its the best soil ever

Yea i would buy real good soil but like i said its a first grow i'm not expecting the best results and i dont have a very good budget so its kind of hard for me to get really good supplies. And the soil isnt too bad it was my carelessness but its not going to happen again. And btw, i have no clue where i would find a hydroponics store around here

potting soil is like 6 bucks a bag.....

you don't need a huge budget for a first grow but you do need the right materials.

Think about it, you are trying to replicate an environment.

If you grow in shitty soil and get shitty results, are you going to want to do it again? What will you learn about maintaining an environment when you are constantly battling the problems that your shitty soil is causing.

Get the right stuff, transplant your plant and do it right the first time.

It's NOT just a weed that will grow under any conditions. It requires a stable, nurturing environment and constant attention if you want any sort of positive results.

Alright then how can i go about transplanting it without causing extreme stress to the plant?

well if you want to know this way cut the container in half then there you go the roots my be a bit big so i wouldnt try and trsnplant it since i suck at it but thats the easiest way:thumbsup:

Is there a way to do it while keeping the pot intact?

Hey man, you can repot them really easily - just prepare your new (bigger) pot, with some new soil (& vermiculite/perlite mixed with it) in the bottom so that the bottom of the plant's stem is about 3" below the rim of the pot...

Give the pot its in right now a tap on the sides and bottom, hold the plant upside down with your fingers around the stem, and slide the pot off. Place the plant into your new pot, fill in the sides with soil, press gently down on the soil as you're fillin in.. give a good watering in and thats it.

So long as you don't disturb the root ball too much (or at all, which is possible), then you shouldn't shock your plant (noticebly) at all.

Hope this helps, and you're plants are really starting to come on.. good job:thumbsup:

Alright if I get the chance within the next few days i'll do that then. I can see really tiny things in the nodes near the little green spikey lookin things (forgot their real name) so i think it shouldbe showing sex within the next few days so i might just wait because i dont want to put the time and effort into transplanting if i'm gonna have to get rid of it if its a male so if its a female i will but until i find out if its a boy or girl it'll have to stay where it is
