Thats pretty small for one month of growing. What kind of lights are you using? My plants are a little over a week old, almost 2 weeks now and they are that big and have more leaves. I am only using four 18' "Plant and Aquarium" Fluros from Lowes(department store). I also have my lights on 24/7 tho, so that may be why.

i'm using just a regular aquarium light i believe is 18 inches and at first i was giving them 12/ 12 light.....then i found out that's not the right light cycle and three weeks into their growing....now i have them on 24/7 and will that harm the plant in any way? it seems healthy...it stands on it's own with no help....at first it was sagging and leaning real bad but after i got it on 24 hour light it got the point where it stands up on it's own. how long will the 18 inch light be ok to use? i don't have any money righ tnow and no way to get any to get bigger floro's.....and i cannot afford no HPS lights

This might sound crazy but I think I have an idea for you... I think you need to love this plant for 3 more months... do everything in your power to make sure it lives.. and then plant it outside... I am not sure what a regular aquarium light is... but I'd bet you can't get any buds off it...sorry : ( hmmm..

fyi- sometimes switching a plant from 12/12 back to 18 can really jack it up.. it will be a hermy.... meaning it will be both male and female... not that this WILL happen to you, but it could...

plese keep us posted as your saga continues... : )

lol....well i can't plant it outside around here.....there is just no way in hell....i'm going to get bigger lights.....a double 4 footer...and i just planted some more so i guess i can do things right on them this time....or atleast try. and all the reg aquarium light is, is a 18 inch uv light....(the same thing as a grow light) it just has the decorative top parts instead of looking like shop floro's and it's alot shorter...

[slipknotpsycho]

oh also....i wish i could take a picture of it but it's so small...i looked up how to tell if it's male or female and i'm almost damn sure i see pistil things..and not the balls....they are pear shaped but come to a pont.

These plants were seeds 1 month and 3 days ago Proper care and lighting is essential, get some flousescent lights maybe $20 for bulbs and ballast and grow like the guy in this article. http://weedfarmer.com/growing_mariju..._fluoresce.htm

P.S. those are skunk 1 plants
