Yeah, I figured it would be nearly impossible to tell the age without knowing the previous growing conditions.. I have no idea what they were.

After looking over that FAQ I can for sure say my plant is female, I can see the little white hairs or 'pistils' very clearly. I guess tomorrow I'll start a 12/12 cycle and hope the buds grow.

Maybe even try this water cloning method I was reading up on.. sounds like it will be cheap and easy.

Thanks a lot for your help, I'll update with some pics in a few days if you're interested.

Hey everyone, I am totally new to indoor growing, and after some research, this site has the most knowledgeable forum contributions IMO so here I am. Anyways, I have always entertained the idea of growing my own bud, but until 3 days ago I have not attempted it. I received a plant as a gift from a close friend and I gladly accepted. I currently have it in my closet inside a cardboard box lined with foil. It was in a much smaller pot when I first got it, but we transferred it to a larger Rating: 5
