Please Critique my little plant

I've put some styrofoam pieces on the soil to help reflect light and it seems to be working O.K. In the last 3 days the plant has grown a little more than 1/2 inch in height and the leaf span went from 8in to 10.5in. There are new sets of leaves forming and secondary growth is coming along nicely. A couple leaves are gettin brown tips/spots but other than that it looks healthy. Soil ph is 6.9 and I try to keep the moisture level at 6.

Will I be albe to tell the sex of the plant before I change the light cycle? I know that a male plant has no THC but does it have any other cannabonoids(sp?) in the leaves?

More updates to come....

I just love that little fatty...You asked about a way of getting more than 2 of your lamps on them...Suggestion put them horizontally on all four sides, if they are in hoods, tilt hoods @45deg on 4 sides.
Just hangin there that plant looks good and I agree w/H that it will pick up, and it is so tight...Cool
PS...Try and get ph down to 6.5!!!

Jetazzzz...

I would:

Continue your current regiment.

1/2" in 3 days is not bad......you would like to get it to 1/2" a day....

Keep on tracking her.......

Sometimes, you will be able to see pre-flowers for the females...sometimes you wont. Just the luck of the draw it seems.

A male plant can be smoked......it can get you high......

But only use it for getting high if you have no other smoking materials....its not a very good buzz.....but you can get stoned off it...no doubt.

I don't ever test the soil pH.

Good grow soil already is set at an acidic value......I just water it with 6.8 adjusted water and the soil pH tends to itself.

Looking good if not slow, but coming along.....

Keep tracking and updates......

HARD

Fu3king hell. Don't know about all of the above, but you're plant looks fine to me. As everyone says - a little small, but healthy. cool.

Great News!! Since my last measurment 2 days ago the plant has grown almost another 2 inches in height (but it's still only a little under 6in tall) and the leaf span is now 12in :D . The plant seems to be needing water every 2 days. Secondary growth is still coming along good as I can barely see the stem looking at it from the side. The stem is about as big as 1 1/4 pencils around. I accidentally tore off the tip of one of the older/lower leaves while I was either measuring or taking pictures :eek: but I think I'll be O.K.

Some of the leaves seem to be getting a "crystal like" substance appearing that I can see with the light shining on the leaves but I'm sure it's not THC. Should I be worried about this or is it quite normal? I can't get it to show up in a picture as the crystalization is very minor.



Hope you like the pics,

Plant is now 8 1/4 tall . Some of the very bottom fanleaves look like they are drying up and dying and I dont know why. I think I will change the light cycle to 12/12 when the plant reaches a foot tall.

I read somewhere that you should put a plant in 36 hours of darkness before switching to 12/12, anybody do this? If so why would you.

I included a few pics for comments/criticizims,

hope you enjoy :)

If you are going for a full plant grow with good yeild, she is not anywhere ready to flower yet. She still needs to grow to at least and one and one half feet.

As for the 36 hour dark period....never heard that one before.

I wouldnt do as I havent read anything from anyone I trust recommending that.

You plant is very small for 42 days.

But she looks very healthy.

Those leaves at the bottom are drying out probably as a result of being in the dirt when watering. It happens all the time...they just dont like the dirt and shit on the leaf tips.

Even my sog grow leaves do the same tning...worry not.

She looks great....

If you wanna do her a real favor, start feeding her some SuperThrive and get another dosage of light on her.

Or, fix you grow room so you use more of the light you are using.

WTF are the golf clubs for?

The males ? :) :) :)

O.K, I thought the lower leaves might be dying from overfertilization or something like that.

On dr.greenthumbs website they show height/yeild specifications for some of his seeds based on flowering plants at 12inches with 36 hour dark period at onset of flowering, I'd never heard of it before coming across that website so maybe I'll take a miss on that one. I'm planning on getting a 250w hps when I get my next paycheque which I'll be using for flowering.

As for the golf clubs I just havent completely emptyed my closet out (lol) I guess it wouldn't hurt to take them out now. Honesty I didn't really plan on the plant actually surviving at the start so I didn't go all out when prepping my closet properly to begin with.

This morning I went and looked at my plant as I always do every morning and I found some white hairs emerging, I'm so happy :D

Unfortunately I've found a couple bugs flying around in my closet a couple days ago so I got some johnson&johnson baby shampoo and sprayed the entire plant. Hopefully it will be O.K. Plant is now 14.5 inches tall. I'm switching to 12/12 today now that I know it's female. The first pic is of the plant and you can see the 2 white hairs if you look closely. Second pic is of another plant that I started a few weeks ago, it is also female and appears to be mostly sativa.

Congrats and good job :)
