First time grow, Female plants
At the moment it looks like I have 2 out of 4 plants that are unfortunately male as they are much larger than the rest and are showing other signs of males :(.
I am on to week 4 now and the others are looking rather small, but after bringing them closer to the light they are picking up a bit.
I was just wondering if there is a way to make plants feminine and if you could list the growing conditions in order to do so or if they are just feminine or male from seeds?
I am currently growing in my wardrobe (parents are cool about it) and I am using a HPS grow light (white light). ventilation is quite good too.

thats not showing signs of sex yet! do u mean you 4 weeks in to veg? cus if so they wont show signs for at least another 3-4 weeks. there are many things you can do to help seeds become female. the best and easiest thing 2 do is to buy female seeds.

Yeah.....I'm not seeing anything either way yet. Don't let the explosive growth fool you. Just look for little watermellon-looking balls or white hairs.

Yep only 4 weeks into veg lol I'm a newbie :p. Ok well i got my seeds from amsterdammarijuanaseeds.nl! Can you list a few factors please that I must keep in the environment etc. to help for female?

environmental factors start influencing sex the moment the seedling has 3 pairs of true leaves excluding cotyledons. increasing N in veg, lower P within the 1st 2-4 weeks. slightly lower temp week 1 to 4.. a dash of superthive. Higher humidity also helps. Also blue light helps promote females and less hours of light in the photo period. :)

Ok thought I might just add this here to save forum spamming. Im a noob so what are CFLs (lol) sorry it's a sin and also what does LST mean? Obviously I haven't got that far as the grow logs seem to suggest it at 8 weeks. Thanks very much in advance!

Ok no replies, but I've found out what CFL means (Compact fluorescent lamp/light). Still don't know what LST stands for?

Low stress training, bending the plant over so it constantly grows up and you can manage the flowering easier with a bush of a plant so to speak if you LST it properly.

Ok thats sounds cool, a few of my plants are bending, they are near 5 weeks into veg. When do I bend them to be straight up and how is the best way to go by this?

You don't bend them to be straight up. You bend them down and the plant turns up twords the light. Here is just one of the MANY threads on here with examples: http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-gr...td-noober.html . If you look up 'LST' you won't be disappointed.
